• Positions per level: 10
• Number of levels: 2
• Mating orientation: Horizontal with Board
• Mounting type: Through Hole
• Wire termination method: Screw - Clamping Yoke, Tension Sleeve
• Screw thread: M3

Allowable Parameter Variations:

• Current rating: Equal to or greater than 15A
• Voltage rating: Equal to or greater than 300V
• Wire gauge range: Must accommodate 12-26 AWG minimum
• Operating temperature range: May extend beyond -20°C ~ 100°C
• Housing material: Alternative thermoplastic materials acceptable

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Weidmüller 1977540000 serves as a direct substitute for the obsolete 1596560000. Both parts maintain identical mechanical and electrical interface specifications, ensuring PCB layout compatibility and connector mating without modification.

The 1977540000 offers enhanced performance characteristics: increased current capacity (20A versus 15A), expanded wire gauge accommodation (12-28 AWG versus 12-26 AWG), and extended operating temperature range (-50°C ~ 120°C versus -20°C ~ 100°C). These improvements provide design margin for applications requiring higher current density or operation in temperature-extreme environments.

Both parts carry RoHS compliance and REACH unaffected status, meeting regulatory requirements for industrial and commercial applications. The 1977540000 is classified as active product status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain stability compared to the obsolete 1596560000.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1977540000 be used as a direct replacement for the 1596560000 on existing PCBs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical pitch (5.08mm), position count (10 per level, 2 levels), mating orientation (horizontal with board), and through-hole mounting specifications. No PCB redesign is required.

Q: What are the key differences between these two parts?

A: The 1977540000 provides higher current capacity (20A versus 15A), accommodates larger wire gauges (up to 28 AWG versus 26 AWG), and operates across a wider temperature range (-50°C to 120°C versus -20°C to 100°C). Housing material differs: Wemid thermoplastic versus PA66 nylon.

Q: Are there packaging differences between the main part and substitute?

A: The 1596560000 is supplied in standard packaging, while the 1977540000 is supplied in bulk packaging. Both are new original stock from Weidmüller.

Q: Do both parts use the same screw termination specifications?

A: Yes. Both employ M3 screw threads with identical torque specifications (0.5-0.6 Nm). Wire termination method is identical: screw-clamping yoke with tension sleeve.

Q: Are there compliance or certification differences?

A: Both parts are RoHS compliant and REACH unaffected. Regulatory status is equivalent for industrial applications.
