Weidmüller 1670920000 Terminal Block Plug - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Weidmüller 1670920000 is a 15-position terminal block plug with female sockets, 0.200" (5.08mm) pitch, designed for 90° free-hanging in-line applications. This component features screwless spring cage tension clamp termination and is rated for 16.5A (IEC) / 10A (UL) operation. The part is classified as obsolete, making identification of active equivalent alternatives essential for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 1670920000 is determined by the following critical parameters that must remain constant or compatible:

• Mechanical Compatibility: Number of positions (15), pitch (5.08mm), plug wire entry angle (90°), and mounting type (free hanging in-line) must be identical
• Electrical Compatibility: Wire gauge range (12-26 AWG / 0.2-2.5mm²), voltage rating (400V IEC / 300V UL), and operating temperature range (-50°C ~ 100°C) must be maintained or exceeded
• Material & Safety: Housing material (PBT), contact material (copper alloy), and flammability rating (UL94 V-0) must match
• Series Continuity: Parts must belong to the Omnimate BL series to ensure connector ecosystem compatibility

The substitute part 1001660000 meets these criteria with the following distinctions: it features an improved termination style (leg spring push-in versus tension clamp), higher current ratings (24A IEC / 18.5A UL), and active product status with modern compliance certifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 1001660000 serves as a direct functional substitute for the obsolete 1670920000 within the Omnimate BL terminal block ecosystem. Selection between these parts should be based on the following engineering criteria:

For Obsolete Part Replacement: The 1001660000 is the appropriate choice for new designs or system upgrades. It maintains identical mechanical and electrical compatibility while offering active product status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity.

Current Rating Considerations: The 1001660000 provides higher current capacity (24A IEC / 18.5A UL) compared to the 1670920000 (16.5A IEC / 10A UL). This enhanced rating does not compromise compatibility and provides design margin for applications operating near the original part's current limits.

Termination Technology: The 1001660000 employs push-in spring termination versus the tension clamp design of the 1670920000. Both termination methods are screwless and compatible with the specified wire gauge range (12-26 AWG / 0.2-2.5mm²). The push-in spring design offers simplified installation without requiring manual tension adjustment.

Compliance & Certifications: The 1001660000 carries RoHS compliance and IP20 ingress protection rating, meeting modern regulatory requirements. Both parts maintain UL94 V-0 flammability rating and REACH compliance status.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1001660000 directly replace the 1670920000 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical mechanical specifications (15 positions, 5.08mm pitch, 90° wire entry, free-hanging mounting) and electrical parameters (wire gauge 12-26 AWG, operating temperature -50°C ~ 100°C, voltage ratings 400V IEC / 300V UL). The 1001660000 is mechanically and electrically compatible with systems designed for the 1670920000.

Q: What are the differences in termination between these two parts?

A: The 1670920000 uses spring cage tension clamp termination, while the 1001660000 uses leg spring push-in spring termination. Both are screwless designs compatible with the same wire gauge range. The push-in spring design of the 1001660000 eliminates manual tension adjustment requirements.

Q: Does the higher current rating of the 1001660000 affect compatibility?

A: No. The 1001660000's higher current capacity (24A IEC / 18.5A UL versus 16.5A IEC / 10A UL) represents an enhancement that does not compromise compatibility. Applications designed for the 1670920000 will operate safely with the 1001660000, with additional current margin available if needed.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 1670920000 packaging is not specified in available documentation. The 1001660000 is supplied in box packaging. Verify packaging requirements for your procurement process.

Q: What is the significance of the IP20 rating on the 1001660000?

A: The IP20 ingress protection rating on the 1001660000 indicates protection against solid objects larger than 12mm and liquid splash. The 1670920000 does not specify an ingress protection rating. For applications requiring environmental protection, the 1001660000's IP20 rating provides documented protection.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: The 1001660000 is explicitly RoHS compliant. The 1670920000 does not specify RoHS status. For applications requiring RoHS compliance, the 1001660000 is the appropriate selection.
