Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution between the main part (1971610000) and the equivalent part (2444090000) is based on strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

  • Connector Type & Configuration: Both are 4-position terminal block plugs with male pins in the Omnimate SC series
  • Electrical Specifications: Identical current (17.5A IEC, 10A UL) and voltage ratings (320V IEC, 300V UL)
  • Pitch & Positioning: Both maintain 0.150" (3.81mm) pitch with 4 positions per level
  • Wire Compatibility: Both accept 16-28 AWG (0.2-1.5mm²) wire gauges
  • Termination Method: Both use screw-clamping yoke (tension sleeve) termination
  • Environmental Ratings: Matching operating temperature range (-50°C ~ 120°C), UL94 V-0 flammability rating, and IP20 ingress protection
  • Compliance: Both are RoHS compliant with identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications

The primary distinction is product status: 1971610000 is obsolete while 2444090000 is active, making the latter the recommended procurement choice for new designs and ongoing supply.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Weidmüller 2444090000 is the direct active equivalent for the obsolete 1971610000. Both components share identical electrical ratings, mechanical dimensions, and functional specifications within the Omnimate SC series. The substitute part maintains full compatibility across all critical parameters: 4-position configuration, 3.81mm pitch, 17.5A IEC current capacity, 320V IEC voltage rating, and identical wire gauge acceptance (16-28 AWG).

Both parts carry RoHS compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability certification, ensuring regulatory alignment for industrial applications. The housing material specification differs slightly (PA vs. PA66), but both are glass-filled polyamide formulations meeting the same performance and environmental standards.

For new procurement, system redesigns, or replacement applications, the 2444090000 is the appropriate selection due to its active product status and guaranteed long-term availability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 2444090000 directly replace 1971610000 in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. Both components are functionally equivalent across all critical parameters: connector type, position count, pitch, electrical ratings, wire gauge compatibility, and termination method. Physical dimensions and mating characteristics are identical.

Q: What is the primary reason for substitution?

A: The 1971610000 is classified as obsolete, while 2444090000 is an active product. Substitution ensures continued procurement availability and supply chain reliability.

Q: Are there differences in housing material between these parts?

A: The main part specifies polyamide (PA) while the substitute specifies polyamide (PA66). Both are glass-filled nylon formulations with identical UL94 V-0 flammability ratings and operating temperature ranges (-50°C ~ 120°C). Material performance is equivalent for this application.

Q: Do both parts support the same wire gauges?

A: Yes. Both accept 16-28 AWG (0.2-1.5mm²) wire gauges with identical screw termination specifications (M2 screw, 0.2-0.25 Nm torque, 7mm wire strip length).

Q: Are electrical specifications identical?

A: Yes. Both parts carry identical IEC ratings (17.5A, 320V) and UL ratings (10A, 300V), with matching contact materials (copper alloy) and mating finishes (tin).

Q: What is the packaging difference?

A: The main part lists packaging as unspecified, while the substitute is packaged in bulk. This does not affect functional compatibility.

Q: Are both parts RoHS and REACH compliant?

A: Yes. Both are RoHS compliant with MSL rating of 1 (unlimited moisture sensitivity). Both carry identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.90.4000) classifications.
