Weidmüller 1561360000 Terminal Block Plug - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Weidmüller 1561360000 is a 19-position terminal block plug with female sockets, 0.200" (5.08mm) pitch, and 270° free-hanging wire entry configuration. This component is classified as obsolete product status. Identifying equivalent substitute parts is necessary to maintain system compatibility and ensure continued availability for applications requiring this terminal block specification.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Weidmüller 1561360000 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• 19-position configuration with 0.200" (5.08mm) pitch spacing
• Female socket plug type with free-hanging mounting
• Screw-based termination mechanism with M2.5 fastener
• Wire gauge compatibility within 12-26 AWG range
• UL94 V-0 flammability rating compliance
• Operating temperature range support

The On Shore Technology Inc. OSTVM195551 qualifies as a substitute based on matching the core electrical and mechanical interface requirements: identical position count, pitch specification, female socket configuration, M2.5 screw termination, and UL94 V-0 rating. Differences in wire entry angle (180° versus 270°) and termination sub-type (pressure clip versus clamping yoke) represent design variations that do not prevent functional substitution in applications where the connector orientation can be accommodated.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The On Shore Technology Inc. OSTVM195551 is the identified substitute for the obsolete Weidmüller 1561360000. Selection of this substitute is supported by the following factors:

• Active product status ensures ongoing availability and supply chain continuity
• Identical pitch (5.08mm) and position count (19) guarantee mechanical interface compatibility
• Matching M2.5 screw termination and UL94 V-0 flammability rating maintain electrical safety compliance
• Both components support 300 V UL voltage rating
• Wire gauge overlap (12-22 AWG) covers the majority of the original specification range

The OSTVM195551 operates within a comparable temperature range (-30°C ~ 105°C) and provides higher current capacity (20 A versus 10 A UL rating). The primary design difference is the 180° wire entry angle compared to the original 270° configuration. This difference requires verification that the connector orientation accommodates the application's physical layout and wire routing requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the On Shore OSTVM195551 directly replace the Weidmüller 1561360000 without modification?

A: The OSTVM195551 matches the core electrical and mechanical specifications (19 positions, 5.08mm pitch, M2.5 screw termination, UL94 V-0 rating). However, the 180° wire entry angle differs from the original 270° configuration. Physical integration feasibility depends on whether the application's enclosure and wire routing can accommodate this orientation change.

Q: What wire gauge compatibility exists between these parts?

A: The Weidmüller 1561360000 accepts 12-26 AWG wire. The On Shore OSTVM195551 accepts 12-22 AWG wire. Applications using wire gauges 23-26 AWG require confirmation that the OSTVM195551's pressure clip termination mechanism provides adequate contact force for these smaller gauges.

Q: Are there differences in termination mechanism performance?

A: The Weidmüller uses screw-clamping yoke (tension sleeve) termination. The On Shore uses screw-pressure clip termination. Both are screw-based mechanisms with M2.5 fasteners. The pressure clip design in the OSTVM195551 may provide different clamping characteristics; however, both achieve UL94 V-0 compliance and 300 V rating.

Q: What is the significance of the product status difference?

A: The Weidmüller 1561360000 is obsolete, indicating discontinued manufacturing. The On Shore OSTVM195551 is active, ensuring current production, documented supply availability, and ongoing technical support. This status difference is the primary driver for substitution.

Q: Does the higher current rating of the OSTVM195551 affect compatibility?

A: The OSTVM195551 provides 20 A UL current capacity versus the original 10 A rating. This represents a performance enhancement and does not create compatibility issues. Applications designed for 10 A operation remain fully compatible with the higher-rated substitute.
