Weidmüller 1669950000 Terminal Block Plug - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Weidmüller 1669950000 is a 6-position terminal block plug with male pins, 0.200" (5.08mm) pitch, and 90° free-hanging in-line configuration. This component is classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives essential for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations. The part operates at 12A (IEC) / 10A (UL) and 250V (IEC) / 300V (UL), with push-in spring termination and support for 12-26 AWG wire gauges.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Weidmüller 1669950000 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Pitch (0.200" / 5.08mm): Both main and substitute parts must maintain identical pitch for mechanical and electrical compatibility with mating connectors.
• Number of Positions (6): Substitute parts must provide the same position count to ensure functional equivalence in circuit applications.
• Type (Plug, Male Pins): The connector type and pin gender must remain consistent.
• Termination Style (Push-In Spring): Wire termination method must support the same connection principle.
• Current and Voltage Ratings: Substitute parts must meet or exceed IEC and UL electrical specifications (12A/250V IEC minimum; 10A/300V UL minimum).
• Wire Gauge Compatibility (12-26 AWG): Substitute parts must accept the same wire gauge range.
• Mounting Type (Free Hanging In-Line): Physical mounting configuration must remain unchanged.

The Phoenix Contact 1808763 qualifies as a substitute based on these parameters. While it features a 180° wire entry angle (versus the original 90°), it maintains all critical electrical and mechanical compatibility criteria, including pitch, position count, termination method, current/voltage ratings, and wire gauge range.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1808763 is a qualified substitute for the obsolete Weidmüller 1669950000 based on electrical and mechanical parameter alignment. Both components maintain identical pitch (5.08mm), position count (6), termination method (push-in spring), and current/voltage ratings across IEC and UL standards.

The primary design consideration is the wire entry angle: the original part features 90° entry, while the substitute provides 180° entry. This difference affects physical installation geometry and must be evaluated within the specific application context. The substitute's higher voltage rating (630V IEC versus 250V IEC) and expanded wire gauge range (0.2-2.5mm² versus 2.5mm²) provide additional operational flexibility without compromising compatibility.

The Phoenix Contact 1808763 holds active product status with RoHS compliance and MSL 1 rating, ensuring long-term availability and environmental regulatory alignment. The Weidmüller component's obsolete classification necessitates transition to an active alternative for new designs and ongoing procurement.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Phoenix Contact 1808763 directly replace the Weidmüller 1669950000 in existing applications?

A: Electrical and mechanical compatibility is confirmed across all critical parameters: pitch, position count, termination method, and current/voltage ratings. The wire entry angle differs (180° versus 90°), requiring physical layout verification to ensure the substitute fits within the existing installation space and cable routing configuration.

Q: What is the significance of the different wire entry angles?

A: The 90° entry on the original part directs wires perpendicular to the connector body, while the 180° entry on the substitute directs wires in line with the connector body. This affects cable bend radius, panel mounting clearance, and overall assembly geometry. Verify that the substitute's wire entry orientation accommodates your specific installation constraints.

Q: Are there electrical performance differences between these parts?

A: Both parts meet identical IEC and UL current and voltage specifications. The Phoenix Contact substitute exceeds the original voltage rating (630V IEC versus 250V IEC) and supports a broader wire gauge range (0.2-2.5mm² versus 2.5mm²). These differences represent enhanced capability without performance degradation.

Q: What is the impact of the Phoenix Contact part's active product status?

A: Active product status ensures ongoing manufacturing, availability, and support. The Weidmüller component's obsolete classification indicates discontinued production, making the Phoenix Contact alternative the recommended choice for new designs and long-term system maintenance.

Q: Are there packaging or inventory considerations?

A: The Weidmüller part is available in limited stock (700 pcs). The Phoenix Contact substitute is actively manufactured and available in bulk packaging (661 pcs in current inventory). For new procurement, the active substitute provides supply chain reliability.

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

A: Both components carry UL94 V-0 flammability ratings. The Phoenix Contact part is RoHS compliant with MSL 1 rating, confirming environmental and moisture sensitivity alignment with modern manufacturing standards.
