Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Weidmüller 1522560000 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Position Count & Pitch: Both main and substitute parts must maintain 9 positions at 0.200" (5.08mm) pitch to ensure PCB footprint compatibility
• Connector Type & Shrouding: Header configuration with male pins and two-side shrouding must be preserved for mechanical fit and safety
• Mounting & Termination: Through-hole solder termination is required for direct replacement in existing designs
• Electrical Ratings: Substitute parts must meet or exceed IEC/UL voltage and current specifications (minimum 250V IEC, 300V UL; minimum 12A IEC, 15A UL)
• Material & Compliance: RoHS compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability rating are mandatory for regulatory equivalence
• Contact & Housing Materials: Copper alloy contacts with tin finish and compatible housing materials ensure electrical performance and durability

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 282825-9 satisfies all substitution criteria and is classified as an active product, providing long-term availability and supply chain stability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 282825-9 is the qualified substitute for the obsolete Weidmüller 1522560000. Selection is based on the following engineering criteria:

Electrical Equivalence: Both parts meet identical UL electrical specifications (15A at 300V). The substitute maintains the required current and voltage ratings for direct functional replacement.

Mechanical Compatibility: Identical 9-position configuration at 0.200" (5.08mm) pitch with vertical through-hole solder termination ensures PCB footprint compatibility without design modification.

Regulatory Compliance: Both parts carry RoHS compliance certification and UL94 V-0 flammability rating, satisfying industrial safety and environmental standards.

Product Status & Availability: The substitute is classified as active, providing assured long-term supply chain availability compared to the obsolete status of the original part. Current inventory of 842 pieces supports immediate procurement.

Operating Temperature Range: The substitute extends the upper operating temperature limit to 110°C (versus 100°C for the original), providing enhanced thermal margin for demanding applications.

Material Composition: Housing material differs (PA66 Nylon 6/6 versus PBT), but both materials meet UL94 V-0 requirements and are suitable for equivalent electrical performance in terminal block applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TE Connectivity 282825-9 be used as a direct replacement without PCB modification?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical position count (9), pitch (0.200"/5.08mm), connector type (male pins, shrouded), orientation (vertical), and solder termination. PCB footprints are compatible without design changes.

Q: Are the electrical ratings equivalent between the two parts?

A: Yes. Both parts are rated for 15A at 300V under UL specifications. The Weidmüller part also specifies 12A at 250V under IEC standards; the TE Connectivity part does not list IEC current but meets the higher UL rating, ensuring compatibility.

Q: What is the difference in housing material, and does it affect performance?

A: The Weidmüller uses Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT); the TE Connectivity uses Polyamide (PA66) Nylon 6/6. Both materials achieve UL94 V-0 flammability rating and are suitable for terminal block applications. Material selection does not impact electrical performance or safety compliance.

Q: Does the extended operating temperature range of the substitute affect compatibility?

A: No. The TE Connectivity part operates from -40°C to 110°C, which encompasses the original part's range of -20°C to 100°C. The extended range provides additional thermal margin and does not introduce compatibility issues.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the Weidmüller 1522560000 and TE Connectivity 282825-9 are RoHS compliant, meeting environmental and regulatory requirements for industrial applications.

Q: What is the significance of the "Side Stacking" feature listed for the TE Connectivity part?

A: Side stacking capability allows multiple connector units to be positioned adjacent to each other for compact multi-channel configurations. This feature does not affect single-unit substitution compatibility and provides additional design flexibility for future applications.

Q: Is the contact tail length difference (0.177" vs 0.138") a concern for substitution?

A: Contact tail length affects solder joint depth and PCB hole engagement. The shorter tail of the TE Connectivity part (0.138") is still adequate for reliable solder termination in standard through-hole applications. Verify PCB hole depth specifications if custom board designs are used.
