Weidmüller 1972710000 Terminal Block Plug - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Weidmüller 1972710000 is a 13-position terminal block plug with female sockets, 0.150" (3.81mm) pitch, designed for 180° free-hanging in-line applications. This component is classified as obsolete, making identification of active equivalent parts essential for ongoing procurement and system maintenance. The part operates within IEC ratings of 17.5A at 320V and UL ratings of 10A at 300V, supporting wire gauges from 16-26 AWG (0.14-1.5mm²). Locating functionally equivalent active-status alternatives ensures design continuity and supply chain reliability.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the obsolete Weidmüller 1972710000 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Electrical Specifications: Current and voltage ratings (IEC 17.5A/320V; UL 10A/300V)
• Physical Configuration: 13 positions, 0.150" (3.81mm) pitch, female socket type
• Mechanical Interface: 180° plug wire entry, free-hanging in-line mounting
• Wire Compatibility: Support for 16-26 AWG (0.14-1.5mm²) wire gauges
• Termination Method: Screwless push-in spring termination
• Environmental & Compliance: Operating temperature range -50°C to 120°C, UL94 V-0 flammability, RoHS compliance

The Weidmüller 2442710000 meets all these criteria as an active-status equivalent within the Omnimate BC series.

Parameter Comparison

Both components are manufactured by Weidmüller within the Omnimate BC series and maintain identical electrical, mechanical, and environmental specifications. The 2442710000 carries active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain support. Both parts maintain RoHS compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability certification, meeting regulatory requirements for industrial terminal block applications. The 2442710000 is suitable for direct substitution in all applications where the 1972710000 was previously specified.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Weidmüller 2442710000 be used as a direct replacement for the 1972710000?

A: Yes. Both components share identical electrical ratings (IEC 17.5A/320V, UL 10A/300V), mechanical configuration (13 positions, 0.150" pitch, 180° wire entry), wire gauge compatibility (16-26 AWG), and environmental specifications. The 2442710000 is the active equivalent.

Q: What is the difference between the 1972710000 and 2442710000?

A: The primary difference is product status: the 1972710000 is obsolete, while the 2442710000 is active. Housing material differs slightly (PA nylon vs. PA66 nylon 6/6), and the 2442710000 features push-button actuation in addition to ejector latches. All electrical and mechanical parameters remain equivalent.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 1972710000 was supplied with unspecified packaging, while the 2442710000 is supplied in bulk packaging. This does not affect functional compatibility or electrical performance.

Q: Does the color difference (black vs. orange) affect substitution?

A: No. Color is a visual identifier only and does not impact electrical function, mechanical compatibility, or performance in terminal block applications.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the 1972710000 and 2442710000 are RoHS compliant and carry UL94 V-0 flammability certification, meeting regulatory requirements for industrial applications.
