Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 1001560000 serves as a direct functional substitute for the obsolete 1670820000. Both components are manufactured by Weidmüller within the Omnimate BL series and maintain identical mechanical and electrical compatibility across pitch, wire gauge, temperature range, and connector configuration.

The 1001560000 is classified as active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain continuity. Both parts carry RoHS compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability certification, meeting equivalent regulatory requirements.

Electrical performance differences exist: the 1001560000 provides enhanced current capacity (24A IEC / 18.5A UL versus 16.5A IEC / 10A UL), representing a performance improvement rather than a limitation. The 1001560000 additionally specifies IP20 ingress protection, whereas the main part does not provide this classification.

Termination methodology differs between the parts: the 1670820000 employs tension clamp termination with non-wire side retention latches, while the 1001560000 uses push-in spring termination with wire-side retention latches. Both termination approaches are screwless systems compatible with the specified wire gauge range.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1001560000 directly replace the 1670820000 in existing applications?

A: Yes. Both components share identical pitch (5.08mm), connector type (5-position plug with female sockets), wire gauge compatibility (12-26 AWG), voltage ratings (400V IEC / 300V UL), temperature range (-50°C to 100°C), and housing material (PBT with UL94 V-0). The 1001560000 provides equal or superior electrical performance.

Q: What is the significance of the different termination styles?

A: The 1670820000 uses tension clamp termination; the 1001560000 uses push-in spring termination. Both are screwless systems accepting the same wire gauge range. The termination method affects insertion force and retention mechanism design but does not impact electrical or mechanical compatibility with mating connectors.

Q: Why does the 1001560000 have higher current ratings?

A: The 1001560000 is rated for 24A (IEC) and 18.5A (UL) compared to 16.5A (IEC) and 10A (UL) for the 1670820000. This represents an engineering improvement in the active product design and does not create compatibility issues when substituting into applications originally designed for the lower-rated part.

Q: What does IP20 ingress protection mean for the 1001560000?

A: IP20 classification indicates protection against solid objects larger than 12.5mm and no protection against liquid ingress. The 1670820000 does not specify an ingress protection rating. This addition in the 1001560000 provides enhanced environmental protection without affecting connector compatibility.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the 1670820000 and 1001560000 are RoHS compliant and carry UL94 V-0 flammability certification, meeting equivalent regulatory and safety standards.

Q: What packaging differences exist between these parts?

A: The 1670820000 packaging is not specified in available documentation. The 1001560000 is supplied in box packaging. Verify packaging requirements for your procurement process.
