OSTVI084152 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The OSTVI084152 is an 8-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 full RoHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating. 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 OSTVI084152 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Electrical Compatibility: Current rating (16 A minimum), voltage rating (300 V minimum), and wire gauge acceptance range must accommodate the primary part's specifications
• Mechanical Compatibility: 8-position configuration, 0.295" (7.50mm) pitch, horizontal mating orientation, and through-hole mounting type must be identical
• Termination Method: Screw-based rising cage clamp termination is required
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS3 compliance and EAR99 ECCN classification must be maintained
• Environmental Rating: Operating temperature range and moisture sensitivity level must support the application requirements

The ED365/8 qualifies as a direct substitute based on matching electrical ratings, identical mechanical configuration, compatible wire termination, and equivalent regulatory compliance. Wire gauge acceptance differs (12-22 AWG versus 12-28 AWG), representing a narrower but compatible range for standard applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the OSTVI084152 and ED365/8 maintain active product status with full RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected classification. Selection between these parts should be based on wire gauge requirements within your application. The OSTVI084152 accommodates the full 12-28 AWG range, while the ED365/8 supports 12-22 AWG. For applications using wire gauges 23-28 AWG, the OSTVI084152 is the required selection. For applications within the 12-22 AWG range, both parts are functionally equivalent. Inventory availability and lead time considerations may also influence part selection, with ED365/8 currently showing higher stock levels (1183 pcs versus 859 pcs).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ED365/8 be used in place of OSTVI084152 in all applications?

A: ED365/8 is compatible for applications using wire gauges 12-22 AWG. If your design requires accommodation of wire gauges 23-28 AWG, OSTVI084152 is the required part. All other electrical and mechanical parameters are identical.

Q: What is the pitch specification, and why does it matter for substitution?

A: Pitch refers to the center-to-center distance between adjacent positions, specified as 0.295" (7.50mm) for both parts. This dimension is critical for PCB layout compatibility and connector mating. Both parts share identical pitch, ensuring direct PCB footprint compatibility.

Q: Are there differences in housing material between these parts?

A: OSTVI084152 uses thermoplastic housing, while ED365/8 uses polyamide (PA) nylon. Both materials provide equivalent electrical insulation and mechanical performance within the specified operating temperature range of -30°C to 105°C.

Q: What does the screw torque specification indicate?

A: Screw torque (0.4 Nm for OSTVI084152 and 0.5 Nm for ED365/8) specifies the maximum tightening force for wire termination. These values are within standard ranges for M3 screws and do not affect substitution eligibility. Follow the manufacturer's assembly guidelines for your selected part.

Q: Are both parts suitable for high-temperature applications?

A: Both parts operate across the identical temperature range of -30°C to 105°C. For applications requiring operation outside this range, neither part is suitable.

Q: What does RoHS3 compliance mean for component selection?

A: RoHS3 compliance indicates the part meets Restriction of Hazardous Substances regulations, restricting specific materials including lead, cadmium, and mercury. Both parts maintain this compliance, ensuring regulatory alignment for end-use applications subject to RoHS requirements.
