Weidmüller 1799000000 Terminal Block Plug - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Weidmüller 1799000000 is a 16-position terminal block plug with female sockets, 0.150" (3.81mm) pitch, and 270° free-hanging wire entry configuration. This component is part of the Omnimate BC series and is actively manufactured. Terminal block plugs of this specification are essential in industrial control systems, power distribution panels, and modular electrical assemblies where reliable screw-clamping connections are required. Equivalent and substitute parts may be necessary due to inventory availability, lead time constraints, or specific application requirements within the allowed electrical and mechanical parameter ranges.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Weidmüller 1799000000 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Number of Positions: 16
• Pitch: 0.150" (3.81mm)
• Type: Plug, Female Sockets
• Mounting Type: Free Hanging (In-Line)
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0
• Screw Size: M2

Allowable Variation Parameters:

• Plug Wire Entry: 270° (primary) or 90° (alternative orientation)
• Termination Style: Screw-based clamping mechanisms (Clamping Yoke or Rising Cage Clamp)
• Current Rating: Minimum 8A IEC (substitute may be lower than 17.5A primary)
• Voltage Rating: 320V IEC or 300V UL (equivalent across standards)
• Wire Gauge Range: Overlapping ranges within 0.14-1.5mm² acceptable
• Housing Material: Polyamide (PA), Nylon, with or without glass fill
• Color: May vary (Black or Green)

The two Phoenix Contact parts listed below meet these substitution criteria with documented compatibility within the allowed electrical and mechanical parameter ranges.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Phoenix Contact 1827114 (COMBICON MCVW)

This substitute is suitable for applications where the 270° wire entry orientation is required and current demand does not exceed 8A IEC. The rising cage clamp termination style provides equivalent screw-based clamping functionality. Wire gauge compatibility spans 14-30 AWG (0.14-1.5mm²), which encompasses the primary part's range. Both parts maintain UL94 V-0 flammability rating and M2 screw specifications. This part is actively manufactured and ROHS3 compliant.

Phoenix Contact 1827266 (COMBICON MCVR)

This substitute is suitable for applications where a 90° wire entry orientation is acceptable and current demand does not exceed 8A IEC. The rising cage clamp termination style and M2 screw specifications align with the primary part's mechanical interface. Wire gauge compatibility and voltage ratings are equivalent. This part is actively manufactured and ROHS3 compliant. The 90° wire entry configuration represents an alternative mechanical orientation for panel-mount or space-constrained installations.

Current Rating Consideration

Both substitute parts are rated at 8A IEC, which is lower than the primary part's 17.5A IEC rating. Substitution is appropriate only for applications where the actual circuit current does not exceed 8A IEC. Applications requiring the full 17.5A IEC capacity of the primary part cannot use these substitutes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can Phoenix Contact 1827114 directly replace Weidmüller 1799000000 in all applications?

A: Phoenix Contact 1827114 is mechanically and electrically compatible for applications where circuit current does not exceed 8A IEC. The 270° wire entry orientation matches the primary part. The rising cage clamp termination provides equivalent screw-based clamping. If your application requires the full 17.5A IEC capacity, this substitute is not suitable.

Q: What is the difference between the two Phoenix Contact substitutes?

A: The primary difference is wire entry orientation. Phoenix Contact 1827114 features 270° wire entry (matching the Weidmüller primary part), while Phoenix Contact 1827266 features 90° wire entry. Both have identical electrical ratings (8A IEC, 320V), pitch (3.81mm), position count (16), and screw specifications (M2). Select based on your panel layout and wire routing requirements.

Q: Are the termination styles interchangeable?

A: Both the Weidmüller clamping yoke (tension sleeve) and Phoenix Contact rising cage clamp are screw-based clamping mechanisms. They are functionally equivalent for wire termination. Torque specifications are comparable (0.2-0.25 Nm primary vs. 0.22-0.25 Nm substitutes), ensuring consistent clamping force.

Q: Do the wire gauge ranges differ significantly?

A: The primary part accepts 16-28 AWG (0.2-1.5mm²). Both substitutes accept 14-30 AWG (0.14-1.5mm²). The substitute ranges are broader and fully encompass the primary part's range. Wire compatibility is not a limiting factor for substitution.

Q: Are there compliance or certification differences?

A: All three parts maintain UL94 V-0 flammability rating and are REACH unaffected. The primary part is RoHS compliant; both substitutes are ROHS3 compliant. All parts are actively manufactured. Compliance requirements are met across all options.

Q: Can I use these substitutes in high-current applications?

A: No. If your application requires current capacity above 8A IEC, neither Phoenix Contact substitute is appropriate. The primary Weidmüller 1799000000 is rated for 17.5A IEC and must be used for high-current circuits.

Q: What should I verify before implementing a substitute?

A: Confirm that your circuit current does not exceed 8A IEC. Verify that the wire entry orientation (270° for 1827114, or 90° for 1827266) is compatible with your panel layout. Ensure wire gauge falls within the acceptable range (14-30 AWG / 0.14-1.5mm²). Confirm M2 screw torque specifications are achievable in your assembly process.
