Weidmüller 1594610000 Terminal Block - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Weidmüller 1594610000 is a 3-position wire-to-board terminal block from the Omnimate LP series, designed for horizontal PCB mounting with 0.200" (5.08mm) pitch spacing. This component is classified as Active and currently maintains inventory of 671 pieces in new original condition. Terminal blocks of this specification are essential in applications requiring reliable wire-to-board electrical connections with standardized pitch and current-carrying capacity. Substitute parts may be required due to inventory constraints, regional availability, or specific application requirements where alternative electrical or mechanical parameters are acceptable.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors part number 282841-3 qualifies as a functional substitute based on the following alignment of critical parameters:

Matching Parameters:

• Positions Per Level: 3
• Pitch: 0.200" (5.08mm)
• Mating Orientation: Horizontal with Board
• Voltage Rating: 300 V
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Housing Material: Polyamide (PA66), Nylon 6/6
• Screw Thread: M3
• Features: Interlocking (Side)

Differing Parameters: The substitute part exhibits variations in current rating (17.5 A vs. 15 A), wire gauge acceptance (12-30 AWG vs. 12-26 AWG), wire termination mechanism (Rising Cage Clamp vs. Clamping Yoke with Tension Sleeve), contact material composition, and torque specification. These differences represent enhanced or alternative specifications rather than incompatibilities.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the Weidmüller 1594610000 and TE Connectivity 282841-3 maintain Active product status and comply with applicable regulatory requirements. The Weidmüller component carries RoHS Compliance certification, while the TE Connectivity substitute meets ROHS3 Compliance standards. Both components are classified under identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.90.4000) codes, indicating equivalent export and tariff treatment.

Selection between these parts should be based on application-specific requirements regarding current capacity, wire gauge accommodation, and termination mechanism preference. The TE Connectivity 282841-3 provides higher current rating (17.5 A) and broader wire gauge acceptance (12-30 AWG), making it suitable for applications requiring enhanced electrical performance or greater conductor flexibility. The Weidmüller 1594610000 remains appropriate for applications within its specified 15 A current limit and 12-26 AWG wire gauge range.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TE Connectivity 282841-3 be used as a direct replacement for the Weidmüller 1594610000?

A: Yes, within the constraints of your application's electrical requirements. Both components share identical pitch (5.08mm), position count (3), mating orientation (horizontal with board), voltage rating (300 V), mounting type (through hole), and housing material. The TE Connectivity part offers higher current capacity (17.5 A vs. 15 A) and accepts larger wire gauges (12-30 AWG vs. 12-26 AWG), making it compatible with applications designed for the Weidmüller specification.

Q: What are the key differences in wire termination between these parts?

A: The Weidmüller 1594610000 uses a Screw - Clamping Yoke with Tension Sleeve termination mechanism, while the TE Connectivity 282841-3 employs a Screw - Rising Cage Clamp system. Both are screw-based termination methods; however, the rising cage clamp design in the TE part may offer different insertion and extraction characteristics. Verify compatibility with your assembly and maintenance procedures.

Q: Are there compliance differences between these terminal blocks?

A: Both components are RoHS compliant. The Weidmüller part carries RoHS Compliance certification, while the TE Connectivity substitute meets ROHS3 Compliance standards. Both are classified as EAR99 for export control purposes and share identical HTSUS tariff classification (8536.90.4000).

Q: Which part should I select if my application requires maximum current capacity?

A: The TE Connectivity 282841-3 is rated for 17.5 A, compared to the Weidmüller 1594610000 at 15 A. If your circuit design requires the higher current capacity, the TE Connectivity part provides this enhanced specification while maintaining all other critical parameters.

Q: Can I use 30 AWG wire with the Weidmüller 1594610000?

A: No. The Weidmüller 1594610000 accepts wire gauges from 12-26 AWG. The TE Connectivity 282841-3 extends this range to 12-30 AWG. If your application requires 28 or 30 AWG conductor accommodation, the TE Connectivity part is necessary.
