Weidmüller 1214200000 Heavy Duty Connector Hood - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Weidmüller 1214200000 is a heavy duty connector hood with coupling mechanism designed for bottom entry applications with PG29 thread size and Size 8 configuration. This component provides IP65 ingress protection (dust tight, water resistant) for cable-to-cable connections in industrial environments. The part is classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent substitute components essential for system maintenance, repair, and new design implementations where RockClassic™ series components are no longer readily available or preferred.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Weidmüller 1214200000 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Style: Must be Hood - Coupling with Bottom Entry configuration
• Size Designation: Must be Size 8
• Thread Size: Must be PG29
• Ingress Protection: Must maintain IP65 rating (dust tight, water resistant)
• Housing Material & Finish: Must be Aluminum Alloy, Die Cast with Powder Coated finish
• Lock Mechanism: Must feature Locking Clip (1) on Hood Top
• Application: Must support Cable to Cable connections

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors part 1-1103358-2 meets all substitution criteria. While dimensional height differs (82.00mm vs. 63.80mm), this variance does not affect functional compatibility within the specified parameter set, as the core electrical and mechanical interface specifications remain equivalent.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors part 1-1103358-2 is the qualified substitute for the obsolete Weidmüller 1214200000. Selection rationale is based on:

• Product Status Alignment: The substitute part maintains active product status, ensuring continued availability and manufacturer support, whereas the original part is obsolete.
• Regulatory Compliance: The TE Connectivity part carries RoHS Compliant certification, providing enhanced environmental compliance compared to the unspecified status of the original component.
• Functional Equivalence: All critical electrical and mechanical parameters align precisely, including connector type, size designation, thread size, ingress protection rating, housing material, and locking mechanism.
• Dimensional Consideration: The height dimension increase (82.00mm vs. 63.80mm) must be evaluated within the context of the specific installation envelope. This variance does not affect the core connector interface but may require spatial assessment in confined mounting applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What makes TE Connectivity 1-1103358-2 a valid substitute for Weidmüller 1214200000?

A: Both components share identical specifications for connector type (Hood - Coupling), entry style (Bottom Entry), size designation (8), thread size (PG29), ingress protection rating (IP65), housing material (Aluminum Alloy, Die Cast), and locking mechanism (Locking Clip on Hood Top). These parameters define functional compatibility for cable-to-cable heavy duty connector applications.

Q: Does the height dimension difference affect compatibility?

A: The height variance (82.00mm vs. 63.80mm) does not affect the electrical or mechanical interface specifications. However, installation feasibility depends on the available mounting space in your specific application. Verify clearance in your enclosure or panel design before implementation.

Q: Why is the original Weidmüller part obsolete?

A: Product obsolescence is determined by manufacturer lifecycle decisions. The TE Connectivity substitute ensures continuity of function while providing access to an actively supported component with current compliance certifications.

Q: Is RoHS compliance required for my application?

A: RoHS compliance is mandatory for many industrial and consumer applications, particularly in European markets and regulated industries. The TE Connectivity substitute's RoHS Compliant status provides regulatory alignment that the original part does not specify.

Q: Can I use these connectors interchangeably in existing installations?

A: Yes, provided the dimensional height increase does not conflict with your installation geometry. Both components maintain identical interface specifications for the connector coupling mechanism and thread engagement.

Q: What is the inventory status for the substitute part?

A: TE Connectivity 1-1103358-2 is listed as Active with 995 pieces in new original stock, ensuring availability for immediate procurement and implementation.
