Weidmüller 1653840000 Terminal Block Header – Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Weidmüller 1653840000 is a 32-position terminal block header with male pins, shrouded on four sides, designed for 90° right-angle through-hole mounting. This component operates at 8A (IEC) / 15A (UL) and 250V (IEC) / 300V (UL), with a 0.197" (5.00mm) pitch configuration across two levels of 16 positions each. The part is classified as obsolete, making equivalent substitutes necessary for ongoing system maintenance and new designs requiring compatible connectivity solutions.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Weidmüller 1653840000 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Position Configuration: 32 total positions, 16 per level, 2 levels
• Pitch Spacing: 0.197" (5.00mm) center-to-center
• Orientation: 90° right-angle header with male pins
• Shrouding: Four-side shrouded design
• Termination: Solder-type through-hole mounting
• Electrical Performance: Current and voltage ratings must meet or exceed IEC and UL specifications
• Flammability Compliance: UL94 V-0 material rating
• Physical Dimensions: Insulation height and contact tail length must accommodate existing PCB layouts

The Phoenix Contact 1762839 satisfies all critical substitution criteria, maintaining identical position configuration, pitch, orientation, and mounting type while providing enhanced electrical ratings and active product status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1762839 is the direct functional equivalent for the obsolete Weidmüller 1653840000. Both components maintain identical mechanical and electrical specifications for standard applications, with the Phoenix Contact part offering superior product lifecycle status and enhanced regulatory compliance.

The Phoenix Contact 1762839 is active in production and RoHS compliant, eliminating supply chain risk and ensuring long-term availability. The increased IEC voltage rating (630V versus 250V) provides additional design margin without compromising form factor or mounting compatibility.

Both parts carry UL94 V-0 flammability certification and maintain equivalent through-hole solder termination, ensuring direct PCB layout compatibility. The identical insulation height (1.122") and pitch spacing (5.00mm) guarantee mechanical interchangeability in existing designs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Phoenix Contact 1762839 directly replace the Weidmüller 1653840000 on existing PCBs?

A: Yes. Both components share identical position configuration (32 positions, 16 per level), pitch spacing (5.00mm), orientation (90° right-angle), and insulation height (1.122"). Through-hole solder termination and shrouded male pin design are equivalent, enabling direct PCB layout compatibility without modification.

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

A: The primary differences are product status and electrical ratings. The Weidmüller part is obsolete; the Phoenix Contact part is active. The Phoenix Contact 1762839 provides higher IEC voltage rating (630V versus 250V) and RoHS compliance, while maintaining identical UL ratings and flammability certification.

Q: Are there any packaging or inventory considerations?

A: The Weidmüller 1653840000 is available in limited quantities (846 pcs) as new original stock. The Phoenix Contact 1762839 is supplied in bulk packaging with higher inventory availability (1163 pcs), supporting both prototype and production-volume requirements.

Q: Do both parts meet the same safety and compliance standards?

A: Both components carry UL94 V-0 material flammability rating and are rated for 300V UL operation. The Phoenix Contact part additionally holds RoHS compliance certification, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic component procurement.

Q: What is the contact tail length difference, and does it affect compatibility?

A: The Weidmüller part has a 0.177" (4.50mm) contact tail; the Phoenix Contact part has a 0.138" (4.60mm) tail. This difference does not affect PCB compatibility, as both lengths are within standard through-hole solder pad specifications for 5.00mm pitch terminal blocks.
