OSTVI054152 Terminal Block - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The OSTVI054152 is a 5-position wire-to-board terminal block manufactured by On Shore Technology Inc., designed for horizontal PCB mounting with side entry wire connections. This component operates at 16 A and 300 V, accommodating wire gauges from 12-28 AWG with screw-based rising cage clamp termination. The part is currently active in production with 737 units in stock. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical ratings, mechanical compatibility, and functional specifications align within the allowed parameter tolerances for this terminal block category.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the OSTVI054152 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Electrical Compatibility: Current rating (16 A), voltage rating (300 V), and wire gauge acceptance range must meet or exceed the main part specifications
• Mechanical Compatibility: Pitch (7.50mm), number of positions (5), mounting type (through hole), and mating orientation (horizontal with board) must be identical
• Termination Method: Wire termination must be screw-based rising cage clamp
• Environmental Compliance: RoHS3 compliance and operating temperature range (-30°C ~ 105°C) must be maintained
• Regulatory Status: REACH unaffected and EAR99 classification must apply

The ED365/5 qualifies as a direct substitute based on matching electrical ratings, mechanical form factor, and compliance certifications. Variations in housing material (polyamide vs. thermoplastic), contact plating composition, and torque specifications do not preclude substitution when all primary functional parameters align.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both OSTVI054152 and ED365/5 are active production components with ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, meeting current regulatory requirements. Selection between these parts should be based on application-specific wire gauge requirements. The OSTVI054152 accommodates the full 12-28 AWG range, while ED365/5 is rated for 12-22 AWG. For applications requiring wire gauges larger than 22 AWG, the OSTVI054152 is the appropriate choice. For applications within the 12-22 AWG range, either part is functionally equivalent. Inventory availability (OSTVI054152: 737 units; ED365/5: 954 units) may influence procurement decisions based on lead time and supply chain requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ED365/5 be used as a direct replacement for OSTVI054152?

A: ED365/5 is a direct substitute for applications using wire gauges between 12-22 AWG. If your application requires wire gauges larger than 22 AWG (up to 28 AWG), the OSTVI054152 must be used.

Q: Are the electrical ratings identical between these parts?

A: Yes. Both parts are rated for 16 A at 300 V and operate across the same temperature range (-30°C ~ 105°C).

Q: What is the difference in wire gauge capacity?

A: OSTVI054152 accepts 12-28 AWG wire, while ED365/5 accepts 12-22 AWG wire. This is the primary technical distinction between the two parts.

Q: Do both parts have the same pitch and position count?

A: Yes. Both are 5-position terminal blocks with 0.295" (7.50mm) pitch, identical mounting orientation, and through-hole PCB mounting.

Q: Are both parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. Both OSTVI054152 and ED365/5 are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected.

Q: What is the screw torque specification for each part?

A: OSTVI054152 specifies 0.4 Nm (3.5 Lb-In) torque, while ED365/5 specifies 0.5 Nm (4.4 Lb-In) torque. Both use M3 screw threads.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in existing designs?

A: Interchangeability depends on wire gauge requirements. If your design uses wire gauges within 12-22 AWG, both parts are mechanically and electrically compatible. If your design requires 23-28 AWG wire, only OSTVI054152 is suitable.
