Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Weidmüller 1624370000 is determined by the following critical parameters:

  • Electrical Compatibility: Current rating (UL: 15 A minimum), voltage rating (UL: 300 V minimum), and contact material (Copper Alloy)
  • Mechanical Compatibility: 2-position configuration, 0.300" (7.62mm) pitch, 90° right-angle orientation, male pins with 4-side shrouding, through-hole solder termination
  • Material & Safety: UL94 V-0 flammability rating, tin contact mating finish
  • Regulatory Compliance: RoHS compliance status

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 282966-2 meets all critical electrical and mechanical parameters required for direct substitution.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 282966-2 is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the Weidmüller 1624370000 for applications requiring a 2-position, 0.300" pitch, 90° right-angle terminal block header with 15 A UL current rating and 300 V UL voltage rating.

Primary Consideration: The TE Connectivity 282966-2 is discontinued at DiGi Electronics. The Weidmüller 1624370000 maintains active product status and is the preferred selection for new designs and ongoing production requirements.

Material Difference: The substitute uses Polyamide (PA66) housing versus Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT) in the primary part. Both materials meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements. Housing material selection should be verified against specific application thermal and chemical exposure requirements.

Dimensional Variations: Contact tail length and insulation height show minor differences (0.012" and 0.006" respectively). These variations are within typical manufacturing tolerances for this connector class and do not affect electrical performance or standard PCB footprint compatibility.

Temperature Range: The TE Connectivity part supports -40°C to 110°C versus -50°C to 100°C for the Weidmüller part. Application operating temperature requirements should be confirmed within these ranges.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TE Connectivity 282966-2 be used as a direct replacement for the Weidmüller 1624370000?

A: Yes, for applications within the specified electrical ratings (15 A UL, 300 V UL) and mechanical requirements (2-position, 0.300" pitch, 90° right-angle, through-hole solder termination). The substitute meets all critical compatibility parameters. However, the Weidmüller part is recommended for new designs due to active product status.

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

A: The primary differences are manufacturer, housing material (PBT versus PA66), operating temperature range (-50°C to 100°C versus -40°C to 110°C), and minor dimensional variations in contact tail length and insulation height. Electrical ratings and mechanical configuration are identical.

Q: Are there any PCB footprint compatibility concerns?

A: No. The 0.300" (7.62mm) pitch, through-hole solder termination, and 90° right-angle orientation are identical. Minor differences in contact tail length (0.012") and insulation height (0.006") do not affect standard PCB footprint compatibility.

Q: Which part should be selected for new product designs?

A: The Weidmüller 1624370000 is the recommended choice for new designs, as it maintains active product status. The TE Connectivity 282966-2 is discontinued and should be used only when inventory constraints or specific application requirements necessitate substitution.

Q: Does the housing material difference affect performance?

A: Both PBT and PA66 materials meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements. Material selection should be verified against specific application requirements for thermal stability, chemical resistance, and mechanical stress conditions.
