Weidmüller 1212200000 Heavy Duty Connector Hood - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Weidmüller 1212200000 is a heavy duty connector hood designed for side entry applications with PG29 thread size and Size 8 configuration. This connector delivers IP65 ingress protection (dust tight, water resistant) and is constructed from die-cast aluminum alloy with powder coating. The part is classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent active alternatives essential for ongoing system maintenance and new installations.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 1212200000 is determined by strict alignment across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Style: Hood configuration with side entry design
• Size Designation: Size 8 specification
• Thread Interface: PG29 thread size for mounting compatibility
• Ingress Protection: IP65 rating (dust tight, water resistant)
• Housing Construction: Aluminum die-cast material with powder coating
• Mechanical Interface: Locking clip configuration on base bottom

The substitute part 1661240000 satisfies all these criteria while maintaining functional and mechanical compatibility with the original 1212200000 specification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 1661240000 serves as the direct functional equivalent to the obsolete 1212200000. Both parts share identical connector specifications, mechanical interfaces, and environmental protection ratings. The primary distinction is product lifecycle status: the 1212200000 is obsolete while the 1661240000 is active and currently manufactured.

For new designs and system replacements, the 1661240000 is the appropriate selection. This part carries RoHS compliance and Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited), providing enhanced regulatory alignment and handling flexibility compared to the original specification. Both parts maintain REACH Unaffected status and identical ECCN/HTSUS classifications.

The dimensional variance (width: 1.693" vs. 1.791") reflects series evolution between RockClassic™ and RockStar® platforms but does not affect functional compatibility in standard mounting applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1661240000 directly replace the 1212200000 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical connector type, size, thread interface, and ingress protection specifications. The mechanical mounting interface (PG29 thread, locking clip configuration) is identical, enabling direct substitution in existing assemblies.

Q: What is the significance of the width dimension difference (1.693" vs. 1.791")?

A: The width variance reflects design updates between the RockClassic™ and RockStar® series. This difference does not affect the core connector interface or mounting compatibility. Verify available panel space in your specific application.

Q: Does the 1661240000 meet the same environmental protection requirements?

A: Yes. Both parts deliver IP65 ingress protection (dust tight, water resistant) and are constructed from die-cast aluminum with powder coating. Environmental sealing performance is equivalent.

Q: Why is the 1212200000 listed as obsolete?

A: Product obsolescence reflects Weidmüller's lifecycle management. The 1661240000 represents the current active equivalent within the RockStar® series, offering the same functional performance with updated compliance certifications.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 1212200000 packaging specification is not provided. The 1661240000 is supplied in bulk packaging. Confirm packaging requirements for your procurement process.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to the substitute part?

A: The 1661240000 carries RoHS compliance and Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited). Both parts maintain REACH Unaffected status and identical trade classification codes (ECCN: EAR99, HTSUS: 8538.90.8180).
