Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The Weidmüller 1959490000 qualifies as a direct substitute based on the following critical parameters:

• Identical mechanical compatibility: Same 5-position configuration, 0.197" (5.00mm) pitch, 90° wire entry, and free-hanging mounting
• Same termination method: Screw-clamping yoke (tension sleeve) design
• Same series and housing material: Omnimate BL series, PBT housing with UL94 V-0 rating
• Same contact material and finish: Copper alloy with tin mating finish
• Same compliance certifications: RoHS compliant, REACH unaffected, EAR99 classification
• Enhanced electrical performance: Higher current ratings (23A IEC / 20A UL) and expanded wire gauge range (12-30 AWG / 0.2-4mm²) provide superior capability within the same form factor
• Active product status: Unlike the obsolete main part, this substitute is currently in active production

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Weidmüller 1959490000 is the appropriate substitute for the obsolete 1898850000. Selection is based on:

• Mechanical interchangeability: Identical pitch, position count, wire entry angle, and mounting configuration ensure direct physical compatibility
• Electrical compatibility: The substitute maintains the same voltage ratings (400V IEC / 300V UL) and exceeds the original current specifications, providing enhanced performance margin
• Regulatory compliance: Both parts maintain identical RoHS and REACH compliance status, with UL94 V-0 flammability certification
• Active production status: The substitute is in active production, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain stability
• Enhanced wire gauge accommodation: The expanded wire gauge range (12-30 AWG vs. 12-26 AWG) provides greater design flexibility without compromising the original application requirements

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1959490000 be used as a direct replacement for the 1898850000?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical mechanical dimensions, pitch, wire entry orientation, termination method, and mounting configuration. The substitute maintains all voltage and flammability ratings of the original part.

Q: What are the key differences between these parts?

A: The primary differences are current rating (23A IEC / 20A UL vs. 15A IEC / 10A UL), wire gauge range (12-30 AWG vs. 12-26 AWG), operating temperature specification (-50°C ~ 100°C vs. unspecified), insulation height (1.071" vs. 0.555"), and product status (active vs. obsolete).

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns with existing connectors?

A: No. The identical 5.00mm pitch and 90° wire entry ensure full mechanical compatibility with existing mating connectors and receptacles designed for the 1898850000.

Q: Does the substitute support the same wire gauges?

A: The substitute supports an expanded range. It accommodates 12-30 AWG (0.2-4mm²) compared to the original 12-26 AWG (0.2-2.5mm²), providing greater flexibility for larger conductor sizes.

Q: What is the packaging difference?

A: The main part was supplied in unspecified packaging, while the substitute is available in bulk packaging. This does not affect electrical or mechanical performance.

Q: Are both parts RoHS and REACH compliant?

A: Yes. Both the 1898850000 and 1959490000 are RoHS compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements.
