Weidmüller 1785960000 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Weidmüller 1785960000 is a 6-position wire-to-board terminal block with vertical mating orientation and 5.08mm pitch, designed for through-hole PCB mounting. This component is classified as obsolete, making equivalent substitute parts necessary for new designs and ongoing production requirements. The part operates at 10A current capacity with 300V voltage rating and accommodates 14-22 AWG wire gauges using screw-top clamp termination.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Weidmüller 1785960000 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Position Count: 6 positions required
• Pitch Tolerance: 5.08mm (0.200") primary specification; 5.00mm (0.197") acceptable within mechanical tolerance
• Current Capacity: Minimum 10A; higher ratings acceptable
• Voltage Rating: Minimum 300V
• Wire Gauge Compatibility: 14-22 AWG
• Mounting Type: Through-hole PCB mounting
• Mating Orientation: Vertical or horizontal orientation acceptable based on circuit board layout requirements
• Wire Termination: Screw-based clamp systems acceptable

The three substitute parts listed meet these core electrical and mechanical criteria while accommodating design flexibility through alternative mating orientations and enhanced product status ratings.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

1776266-6 (TE Connectivity AMP Connectors)

This substitute provides active product status with ROHS3 compliance. The horizontal mating orientation requires PCB layout modification compared to the vertical configuration of the original part. Current capacity matches at 10A. Operating temperature range extends to -55°C, exceeding the original specification. Screw thread specification changes from M2.5 to M2.6, requiring torque adjustment to 0.51 Nm.

ED500/6DS (On Shore Technology Inc.)

This substitute offers active product status with ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected designation. Current capacity increases to 15A, providing design margin. Horizontal mating orientation requires PCB layout consideration. Operating temperature range extends to -30°C minimum. Screw torque specification is 0.4 Nm, matching the lower end of the original specification range.

OSTTC060162 (On Shore Technology Inc.)

This substitute provides active product status with ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected designation. Current capacity increases to 15A. Horizontal mating orientation requires PCB layout modification. Interlocking side-entry feature provides mechanical stability. Operating temperature range extends to -30°C minimum. Screw torque specification is 0.3 Nm, below the original specification range.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the substitute parts be used interchangeably with the Weidmüller 1785960000 without PCB redesign?

A: The substitute parts feature horizontal mating orientation compared to the vertical orientation of the original part. PCB footprint and connector approach direction differ, requiring layout modification. Pitch tolerance between 5.08mm and 5.00mm is within acceptable mechanical tolerance for through-hole mounting.

Q: What is the impact of screw thread size change from M2.5 to M2.6?

A: The substitute parts use M2.6 screw threads. Torque specifications differ: original part requires 0.4-0.5 Nm, while substitutes specify 0.51 Nm (1776266-6), 0.4 Nm (ED500/6DS), or 0.3 Nm (OSTTC060162). Screw fastening hardware must be updated accordingly.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All three substitute parts carry ROHS3 compliance certification. The original Weidmüller part does not specify RoHS status.

Q: Which substitute part offers the highest current capacity?

A: Both ED500/6DS and OSTTC060162 provide 15A current capacity, compared to 10A for the original part and 1776266-6 substitute.

Q: What is the difference between the two On Shore Technology substitutes?

A: ED500/6DS and OSTTC060162 both provide 15A capacity and horizontal mating orientation. OSTTC060162 includes interlocking side-entry feature and uses thermoplastic housing material. ED500/6DS uses polyamide housing. Screw torque specifications differ: 0.4 Nm versus 0.3 Nm respectively.

Q: Does the pitch difference between 5.08mm and 5.00mm affect compatibility?

A: The 0.08mm pitch difference is within standard mechanical tolerance for through-hole PCB mounting. Substitute parts with 5.00mm pitch are mechanically compatible with 5.08mm spacing on standard PCB layouts.

Q: What compliance certifications are relevant for substitute selection?

A: All substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant. REACH status is unaffected for ED500/6DS, OSTTC060162, and the original part. TE Connectivity 1776266-6 lists REACH status as vendor undefined. ECCN classification is EAR99 for all parts.
