Weidmüller 1210000000 Heavy Duty Connector Hood - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Weidmüller 1210000000 is a Hood-Coupling connector for bottom entry applications with PG21 thread size and Size 6 configuration. This connector provides IP65 ingress protection (dust tight, water resistant) and is part of the RockClassic™ series. The part is currently listed as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent substitute components essential for ongoing system maintenance and new installations where this connector type is required.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Weidmüller 1210000000 is determined by strict alignment of the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

• Connector Type & Style: Must be Hood-Coupling configuration with bottom entry orientation
• Size & Thread Compatibility: Size 6 with PG21 thread size ensures mechanical fit and mating compatibility
• Ingress Protection: IP65 rating maintains environmental sealing requirements
• Housing Material & Finish: Aluminum alloy die-cast construction with powder coating ensures durability and corrosion resistance
• Cable-to-Cable Configuration: Maintains the intended application interface

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors part 1-1102584-2 meets all these substitution criteria. Both connectors share identical functional specifications for connector type, style, size, thread size, ingress protection, housing material, and cable-to-cable application.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 1-1102584-2 serves as a functional substitute for the obsolete Weidmüller 1210000000 based on the following engineering criteria:

Product Status Alignment: The Weidmüller part is obsolete, while the TE Connectivity part is active and currently in production. This ensures long-term availability and supply chain continuity.

Compliance & Certifications: The TE Connectivity part carries ROHS3 compliance certification, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic components. The Weidmüller part does not specify RoHS status.

Functional Equivalence: Both connectors meet identical specifications for connector type, style, size, thread size, ingress protection rating, housing material, and cable-to-cable application. These parameters define the core functional requirements for this connector category.

Dimensional Considerations: The TE Connectivity part exhibits minor dimensional variations (height difference of 0.650" / 16.50mm). Physical space constraints in the installation environment must be evaluated before substitution.

Locking Mechanism Variation: The Weidmüller part features two locking clips on the hood top, while the TE Connectivity part features one locking clip. This functional difference does not affect electrical or environmental sealing performance but may impact mechanical retention characteristics in specific applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What makes the TE Connectivity 1-1102584-2 a suitable substitute for the Weidmüller 1210000000?

A: Both connectors share identical specifications for connector type (Hood-Coupling), style (bottom entry), size (6), thread size (PG21), ingress protection (IP65), housing material (aluminum alloy die-cast), and cable-to-cable application. These parameters define substitution compatibility for heavy duty connectors in this category.

Q: Are there any physical differences between these connectors?

A: Yes. The TE Connectivity part is 0.650 inches (16.50mm) taller than the Weidmüller part. The locking mechanism also differs: Weidmüller uses two locking clips while TE Connectivity uses one. These differences do not affect electrical performance or environmental sealing but must be evaluated for physical fit in the installation space.

Q: Why is the Weidmüller part listed as obsolete?

A: Product obsolescence indicates that the manufacturer has discontinued production and support. The TE Connectivity alternative is actively produced and supported, providing continuity for applications requiring this connector type.

Q: Does the TE Connectivity part meet current compliance standards?

A: Yes. The TE Connectivity 1-1102584-2 is ROHS3 compliant, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic components. The Weidmüller part does not specify RoHS compliance status.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for these connectors?

A: The TE Connectivity part operates from -40°C to 80°C. The Weidmüller part does not specify an operating temperature range in available documentation.

Q: Can these connectors be used interchangeably in existing installations?

A: Functional substitution is supported based on electrical and mechanical parameters. Physical space constraints must be verified due to dimensional differences. The variation in locking clip configuration should be evaluated for the specific mechanical retention requirements of the application.
