Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TE Connectivity 2-284512-4 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Number of Positions: 24
• Pitch: 0.138" (3.50mm)
• Header Orientation: 90°, Right Angle
• Type: Header, Male Pins, Shrouded (4 Side)
• Termination Style: Solder
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0
• Contact Mating Finish: Tin

Electrical Compatibility Parameters:

• Voltage - UL: 300 V (minimum requirement)
• Current - UL: 10 A or greater (minimum requirement)

The Weidmüller 1619450000 satisfies all mandatory matching parameters and meets or exceeds electrical requirements, qualifying it as a direct substitute for the obsolete TE Connectivity component.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Weidmüller 1619450000 terminal block header is a qualified substitute for the obsolete TE Connectivity 2-284512-4. Both components share identical mechanical and electrical specifications across all critical parameters required for direct substitution in 24-position, 3.5mm pitch, 90° right-angle through-hole applications.

Compliance Status:

• TE Connectivity 2-284512-4: Obsolete product status; RoHS status not applicable
• Weidmüller 1619450000: Active product status; RoHS Compliant; REACH Unaffected

The Weidmüller component offers the advantage of active product status with current RoHS compliance certification, ensuring long-term availability and regulatory alignment for new designs or system updates. Both components carry UL94 V-0 flammability ratings and tin contact mating finishes, supporting equivalent performance in electrical and thermal applications.

The Weidmüller 1619450000 operates across a wider low-temperature range (-50°C versus -40°C) and includes IP10 ingress protection rating, providing enhanced environmental robustness in applications requiring extended temperature or moisture exposure.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Weidmüller 1619450000 directly replace the TE Connectivity 2-284512-4 in existing PCB designs?

A: Yes. Both components share identical pitch (0.138" / 3.50mm), position count (24), orientation (90° right angle), mounting type (through hole), and termination style (solder). PCB footprints and assembly processes require no modification.

Q: What are the differences in electrical ratings between these two parts?

A: The TE Connectivity component is rated at 11 A UL, while the Weidmüller component is rated at 10 A UL. Both operate at 300 V UL. For applications requiring the full 11 A capacity, the TE Connectivity part remains the original specification. For applications operating at or below 10 A, the Weidmüller component is fully compatible.

Q: Are there mechanical differences that could affect assembly or fit?

A: Minor dimensional variations exist. The Weidmüller contact tail length is 0.126" (3.20mm) compared to 0.134" (3.40mm) for the TE Connectivity part. The Weidmüller insulation height is 0.298" (7.57mm) compared to 0.287" (7.30mm). These differences are within typical PCB design tolerances and do not prevent direct substitution.

Q: What is the difference in housing material between these components?

A: The TE Connectivity 2-284512-4 uses Polyamide (PA66) Nylon 6/6, while the Weidmüller 1619450000 uses Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT). Both materials carry UL94 V-0 flammability ratings. PBT offers improved chemical resistance and dimensional stability at elevated temperatures.

Q: Does the Weidmüller component meet current regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. The Weidmüller 1619450000 is RoHS Compliant and REACH Unaffected, meeting current regulatory standards for electronic components. The TE Connectivity component is obsolete with RoHS status not applicable.

Q: What is the operating temperature difference between these parts?

A: The TE Connectivity component operates from -40°C to 110°C. The Weidmüller component operates from -50°C to 100°C. The Weidmüller part supports lower minimum temperatures but has a 10°C lower maximum temperature rating. Application requirements determine which range is appropriate.

Q: Are the contact materials compatible in terms of mating performance?

A: Both components use tin contact mating finish. The TE Connectivity part uses Phosphor Bronze contacts, while the Weidmüller part uses Copper Alloy contacts. Both materials provide equivalent electrical conductivity and mating reliability for standard terminal block applications.

Q: What does the IP10 ingress protection rating on the Weidmüller part provide?

A: IP10 protection indicates protection against solid objects larger than 50mm and provides limited protection against water spray. The TE Connectivity component does not specify an ingress protection rating. For applications in environments with moisture or dust exposure, the Weidmüller component offers enhanced environmental protection.
