Weidmüller 1696510000 Terminal Block Plug — Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Weidmüller 1696510000 is a 16-position terminal block plug with female sockets, 5.00mm pitch, and 180° wire entry orientation. This component is classified as obsolete, making equivalent substitute parts necessary for ongoing system maintenance and new designs requiring compatible connectivity solutions. The part features screwless spring cage termination, UL94 V-0 flammability rating, and supports wire gauges from 14–26 AWG (0.2–2.5mm²).

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Weidmüller 1696510000 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Position count and pitch: All substitute parts maintain 16 positions with either 5.00mm (0.197") or 5.08mm (0.200") pitch
• Connector type: All substitutes are plug connectors with female sockets, maintaining mechanical and electrical compatibility
• Wire entry orientation: Substitutes are available in 90°, 180°, and 270° configurations; selection depends on installation geometry
• Termination method: Substitute parts use screw-based rising cage clamp termination, differing from the original screwless design
• Electrical ratings: Substitute parts support 15 A at 300 V (UL), exceeding the original 10 A specification
• Flammability and material compliance: All substitutes maintain UL94 V-0 rating and RoHS compliance

The Amphenol PCD ELFF series substitutes are active products with higher current capacity and improved compliance certifications, making them suitable replacements for the obsolete Weidmüller component.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For 180° wire entry orientation (direct functional replacement): No Amphenol ELFF substitute maintains the exact 180° wire entry angle of the original Weidmüller 1696510000. The closest alternatives are ELFF16130 (90°) and ELFF16140 (270°), which require mechanical redesign of the installation geometry.

For 5.00mm pitch compatibility: ELFF16130 and ELFF16140 maintain the 5.00mm pitch specification. Both are active products with RoHS compliance and higher current ratings (15 A vs. 10 A), providing improved electrical performance and regulatory compliance over the obsolete Weidmüller part.

For 5.08mm pitch applications: ELFF16230 and ELFF16240 offer 5.08mm pitch variants with identical electrical and compliance characteristics. These parts are suitable for applications where pitch tolerance permits the 0.08mm deviation.

Termination method consideration: All Amphenol substitutes employ screw-based termination, replacing the original screwless spring cage design. This requires wire termination procedure adjustment but provides equivalent electrical and mechanical performance with improved torque specification (0.79 Nm).

Compliance and product lifecycle: All Amphenol ELFF series parts are active products with RoHS compliance and MSL 1 (unlimited moisture sensitivity), providing superior long-term availability and regulatory support compared to the obsolete Weidmüller component.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ELFF16130 or ELFF16140 directly replace the Weidmüller 1696510000 without mechanical modification?

A: No. The Weidmüller part features 180° wire entry, while ELFF16130 provides 90° entry and ELFF16140 provides 270° entry. Installation geometry must be evaluated to determine which orientation accommodates the existing cable routing. Pitch compatibility (5.00mm) is maintained for both parts.

Q: What is the difference between ELFF16130/ELFF16140 and ELFF16230/ELFF16240?

A: The primary difference is pitch specification. ELFF16130 and ELFF16140 maintain 5.00mm pitch matching the original Weidmüller part. ELFF16230 and ELFF16240 use 5.08mm pitch, a 0.08mm deviation. All four parts share identical electrical ratings (15 A, 300 V), termination method (screw-based), and compliance certifications. Pitch selection depends on mating connector specifications and mechanical tolerance requirements.

Q: Are the Amphenol ELFF substitutes electrically compatible with the Weidmüller 1696510000?

A: Yes. All substitutes support 300 V at 15 A (UL), exceeding the original 10 A specification. Wire gauge compatibility spans 12–26 AWG, accommodating the original 14–26 AWG range. Tin contact mating finish and UL94 V-0 flammability rating are maintained across all parts.

Q: What is the impact of switching from screwless to screw-based termination?

A: Termination procedure changes from spring cage tension clamp to rising cage clamp with screw fastening. Wire strip length specifications differ (7mm original vs. 7.87mm or 12.45mm for substitutes). Torque specification for Amphenol parts is 0.79 Nm (7.0 Lb-In). Installation training and procedure updates are required, but electrical and mechanical performance remain equivalent.

Q: Are all Amphenol ELFF substitutes RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. All four Amphenol ELFF substitutes (ELFF16130, ELFF16140, ELFF16230, ELFF16240) are RoHS compliant with MSL 1 (unlimited moisture sensitivity level), providing superior regulatory support and long-term availability compared to the obsolete Weidmüller component.

Q: Which substitute should be selected for new designs?

A: For new designs, select based on required wire entry orientation and pitch specification. If 5.00mm pitch is required, choose ELFF16130 (90°) or ELFF16140 (270°). If 5.08mm pitch is acceptable, ELFF16230 (90°) or ELFF16240 (270°) are equivalent alternatives. All four parts are active products with identical electrical performance and compliance certifications.
