Weidmüller 1661310000 Heavy Duty Connector Hood - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Weidmüller 1661310000 is a heavy duty connector hood designed for side entry applications with PG29 thread size and Size 8 configuration. This connector delivers IP65 ingress protection (dust tight, water resistant) and is constructed from die-cast aluminum alloy with powder coating. The part is classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives essential for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 1661310000 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type: Hood
• Style: Side Entry
• Size: 8
• Thread Size: PG29
• Ingress Protection Rating: IP65 (Dust Tight, Water Resistant)
• Housing Material: Aluminum, Die Cast
• Housing Finish: Powder Coated
• Lock Location: Locking Clip (2) on Base Bottom

The substitute part 1661320000 meets all these criteria. Both parts share identical functional specifications for connector configuration, environmental protection, and mechanical mounting. The primary distinction lies in product status (active vs. obsolete) and series designation (RockStar® vs. RockClassic™).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 1661320000 serves as a direct functional equivalent to the obsolete 1661310000. Both parts maintain identical connector specifications, environmental protection ratings, and mechanical interfaces. The 1661320000 is currently in active production status, ensuring availability for replacement and new installations.

The 1661320000 carries RoHS3 compliance certification, whereas compliance information for the 1661310000 was not provided. Both parts are classified under identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8538.90.8180) codes, confirming equivalent regulatory treatment.

The dimensional variance in width (1.693" vs. 1.791") represents a 0.098" (2.50mm) increase in the substitute part. This minor difference does not affect functional compatibility but should be verified against specific mounting space constraints in the application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1661320000 directly replace the 1661310000 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical connector type, style, size, thread size, ingress protection rating, housing material, finish, and locking mechanism. The functional interface is equivalent.

Q: What is the significance of the width dimension difference?

A: The 1661320000 is 0.098" (2.50mm) wider than the 1661310000. This difference must be evaluated against available mounting space in the specific application to ensure clearance.

Q: Why is the 1661310000 listed as obsolete?

A: Product obsolescence is determined by manufacturer production decisions. The 1661320000 (RockStar® series) represents the current active equivalent within the Weidmüller product line.

Q: Are there compliance differences between these parts?

A: The 1661320000 carries RoHS3 compliance certification. Compliance status for the 1661310000 was not provided in available documentation. Both parts share identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications.

Q: What packaging options are available?

A: The 1661310000 packaging specification was not provided. The 1661320000 is supplied in bulk packaging.
