Weidmüller 1827200000 Heavy Duty Connector Hood - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Weidmüller 1827200000 is a heavy duty connector hood designed for top entry applications with M50 thread size in the 8XXL form factor. This connector delivers IP68 ingress protection (dust tight and waterproof) and is constructed from die-cast aluminum with powder coating. The part is classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent substitute components essential for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 1827200000 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type: Hood
• Style: Top Entry
• Size: 8XXL
• Thread Size: M50
• Lock Mechanism: Screw Locks on Hood
• Ingress Protection: IP68 (Dust Tight, Waterproof)
• Housing Material: Aluminum, Die Cast
• Housing Finish: Powder Coated
• Dimensions: 7.244" L x 2.244" W x 4.724" H (184.00mm x 57.00mm x 120.00mm)

The substitute part 1827170000 meets all these criteria and is therefore a direct functional equivalent. The primary distinction is product status: the substitute is active in production, whereas the original part is obsolete.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Weidmüller 1827170000 is the direct substitute for the obsolete 1827200000. Both parts are manufactured by Weidmüller and maintain identical mechanical and electrical specifications across all critical parameters: connector type, entry style, size designation, thread size, locking mechanism, ingress protection rating, housing construction, and physical dimensions.

Both parts carry RoHS Compliance and REACH Unaffected status, ensuring regulatory alignment for industrial applications. The substitute part is currently in active production status, providing supply chain continuity and availability advantages over the obsolete original part.

The substitute part provides an additional specification: an operating temperature range of -50°C to 120°C, which was not specified for the original part. This expanded temperature range supports a broader range of environmental conditions without compromising functional equivalence.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1827170000 be used as a direct replacement for the 1827200000?

A: Yes. The 1827170000 is a direct functional equivalent. All mechanical dimensions, connector specifications, ingress protection ratings, and material compositions are identical. The primary difference is product status: the substitute is active in production while the original is obsolete.

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns when substituting the 1827170000 for the 1827200000?

A: No compatibility concerns exist. Both parts share identical specifications for connector type, entry style, size, thread size, locking mechanism, and housing construction. Physical dimensions are identical, ensuring mechanical fit in existing installations.

Q: What is the difference between the Rockstar® Impact XXL and Rockstar® Shielded XXL series?

A: Both series are manufactured by Weidmüller and meet the same functional specifications for this connector hood model. The series designation reflects internal product line organization but does not affect the electrical or mechanical performance of the connector hood itself.

Q: Does the operating temperature specification difference affect substitution?

A: No. The substitute part specifies an operating temperature range of -50°C to 120°C, while the original part does not specify this parameter. The substitute's defined temperature range does not restrict its use in applications where the original was deployed; it provides additional documented performance data.

Q: What packaging options are available?

A: The original part (1827200000) packaging is not specified. The substitute part (1827170000) is available in bulk packaging. Confirm packaging requirements with your procurement process.

Q: Are both parts RoHS and REACH compliant?

A: Yes. Both the 1827200000 and 1827170000 are RoHS Compliant and REACH Unaffected, meeting regulatory requirements for industrial connector applications.
