OSTVM025550 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The OSTVM025550 is a 2-position terminal block plug manufactured by On Shore Technology Inc., featuring female sockets with 0.200" (5.08mm) pitch spacing and 180° free-hanging in-line mounting. This component is designed for applications requiring screw-pressure clip termination with wire gauges from 12-22 AWG (0.34-2.5mm²). The part maintains active product status and is ROHS3 compliant with UL94 V-0 flammability rating. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters align with the main part's functional requirements.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the OSTVM025550 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Electrical Compatibility: Voltage rating (300 V UL), current capacity (20 A UL minimum), and wire gauge range (12-22 AWG / 0.34-2.5mm²)
• Mechanical Compatibility: 2-position configuration, 0.200" (5.08mm) pitch, female socket type, and free-hanging in-line mounting
• Termination Method: Screw-based termination (pressure clip or standard screw acceptable)
• Environmental & Compliance: Operating temperature range (-30°C ~ 105°C), UL94 V-0 flammability rating, ROHS3 compliance, and REACH unaffected status

The EDZ1200/2 qualifies as a direct substitute based on matching electrical ratings, mechanical configuration, and regulatory compliance. Variations in contact material, wire strip length, and torque specification do not preclude substitution when all primary parameters align.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the OSTVM025550 and EDZ1200/2 maintain active product status with identical regulatory compliance profiles (ROHS3, REACH unaffected, EAR99 classification). Selection between these parts is based on application-specific requirements:

OSTVM025550 is appropriate when the full wire gauge range (0.34-2.5mm²) is required and pressure clip termination is specified in the design.

EDZ1200/2 is appropriate when wire gauges are limited to 2.5mm² and standard screw termination is acceptable. Both parts support identical voltage (300 V UL) and current (20 A UL) ratings within the specified operating temperature range (-30°C ~ 105°C).

Both parts are manufactured by On Shore Technology Inc. and carry equivalent inventory availability for procurement planning.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can EDZ1200/2 replace OSTVM025550 in all applications?

A: EDZ1200/2 is compatible when wire gauges do not exceed 2.5mm². The OSTVM025550 supports a broader range (0.34-2.5mm²). Verify wire gauge requirements in your application before substitution.

Q: Are the electrical ratings identical between these parts?

A: Yes. Both parts are rated for 300 V UL, 20 A UL, and operate across -30°C ~ 105°C. Voltage and current capacity are equivalent.

Q: What is the difference in termination style?

A: OSTVM025550 uses screw-pressure clip termination, while EDZ1200/2 uses standard screw termination. Both are screw-based methods suitable for the same connector interface.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, carry UL94 V-0 flammability rating, and maintain active product status.

Q: What are the differences in contact material?

A: OSTVM025550 uses steel contacts, while EDZ1200/2 uses copper tin alloy contacts. Both materials are suitable for the specified electrical ratings and operating conditions.

Q: Are there packaging differences?

A: Both parts are supplied in bulk packaging. Inventory availability differs (OSTVM025550: 1003 pcs; EDZ1200/2: 757 pcs).
