Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Weidmüller 1742230000 is based on the following critical parameters that must remain consistent:

• Number of positions: 15
• Pitch specification: 0.200" (5.08mm)
• Connector type: Plug with female sockets
• Wire entry angle: 225°
• Mounting configuration: Free hanging (in-line)
• Termination method: Screw-clamping yoke
• Series compatibility: Omnimate BL

The substitute part 1945880000 maintains all these core parameters, ensuring mechanical and electrical compatibility within the Omnimate BL series. Variations in current ratings, voltage ratings, and wire gauge ranges are within acceptable substitution parameters when the application requirements fall within the overlapping specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Weidmüller 1945880000 is the direct substitute for the obsolete 1742230000. Both components are manufactured by Weidmüller within the Omnimate BL series and share identical mechanical and electrical interface specifications.

The 1945880000 offers the following advantages:

• Active product status ensures ongoing availability and manufacturing support
• RoHS compliance certification
• Enhanced current ratings (17.5A IEC, 15A UL) provide margin above the original part specifications
• Extended wire gauge acceptance range (12-30 AWG, 0.2-4mm²) accommodates broader conductor sizes
• Identical screw torque specifications and M2.5 fastening requirements ensure installation compatibility

Selection of the 1945880000 is appropriate for all applications previously specified with the 1742230000, provided the application current and voltage requirements do not exceed the substitute part ratings.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1945880000 directly replace the 1742230000 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both parts maintain identical pitch (5.08mm), position count (15), wire entry angle (225°), and termination method specifications. Mechanical and electrical interfaces are fully compatible within the Omnimate BL series.

Q: What are the key differences between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are product status (obsolete vs. active), current ratings (16.5A/10A vs. 17.5A/15A), wire gauge range (12-26 AWG vs. 12-30 AWG), and RoHS compliance certification. The 1945880000 provides enhanced electrical capacity and regulatory compliance.

Q: Are there packaging differences between the two parts?

A: The 1742230000 is supplied in standard packaging, while the 1945880000 is supplied in bulk packaging. This does not affect component functionality or compatibility.

Q: What wire gauges are compatible with each part?

A: The 1742230000 accepts 12-26 AWG (0.2-2.5mm²). The 1945880000 accepts 12-30 AWG (0.2-4mm²). Applications using wire gauges within the 12-26 AWG range are compatible with both parts.

Q: Are the screw torque specifications identical?

A: Yes. Both parts require M2.5 screws with torque specification of 0.4-0.5 Nm (4.6-4.4 Lb-In). Installation procedures remain unchanged.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for both parts?

A: Both the 1742230000 and 1945880000 operate within -50°C to 100°C temperature range.
