Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The Amphenol Anytek VI0621550000G qualifies as a functional substitute based on the following critical parameters:

  • Positions and Pitch: Both parts provide 6 positions at 0.200" (5.08mm) spacing, ensuring mechanical and electrical compatibility in PCB layouts
  • Electrical Ratings: Both rated for 16 A at 300 V, meeting identical current and voltage requirements
  • Mounting Configuration: Both feature horizontal orientation with through-hole PCB mounting
  • Interlocking Design: Both incorporate side interlocking for mechanical stability
  • Termination Method: Both use screw-based wire termination, though with different cage clamp designs (leaf spring vs. rising cage clamp)

Substitution is valid where the application tolerates the specified parameter variations listed in the comparison table below.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Amphenol Anytek VI0621550000G is an active substitute for the obsolete Weidmüller 67600976. Selection is based on:

  • Product Status: The substitute is active and in production, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity
  • Regulatory Compliance: Both parts are RoHS compliant and REACH unaffected, with the substitute meeting the newer ROHS3 standard
  • Electrical Equivalence: Identical current and voltage ratings ensure functional compatibility in existing circuit designs
  • Mechanical Compatibility: Matching pitch, position count, and through-hole mounting enable direct PCB layout compatibility

Design teams should account for the differences in wire termination mechanism (leaf spring vs. rising cage clamp), screw thread size (M2.5 vs. M3), and operating temperature range when finalizing component selection. The substitute's expanded wire gauge acceptance (12-28 AWG vs. 14-24 AWG) and higher maximum operating temperature provide additional design flexibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Amphenol Anytek VI0621550000G be used as a direct replacement for the Weidmüller 67600976 in existing designs?

A: Yes, for applications where the electrical ratings (16 A, 300 V) and mechanical configuration (6 positions, 5.08mm pitch, through-hole mounting) are the primary design constraints. However, the different wire termination mechanism and screw thread size require verification that the PCB layout and assembly process accommodate the M3 screw and rising cage clamp design.

Q: What is the impact of the different wire termination methods?

A: The Weidmüller uses screw-leaf spring termination, while the Amphenol Anytek uses screw-rising cage clamp termination. Both methods provide secure wire retention at the specified torque values. The cage clamp design may offer different insertion and removal characteristics; assembly procedures should be reviewed accordingly.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The Weidmüller 67600976 is listed with unspecified packaging, while the Amphenol Anytek VI0621550000G is supplied in bulk packaging. Procurement and handling procedures may differ; consult supplier documentation for specific packaging and quantity requirements.

Q: Does the wider wire gauge range of the substitute affect compatibility?

A: The Amphenol Anytek accepts 12-28 AWG wire, compared to the Weidmüller's 14-24 AWG range. This expanded range does not reduce compatibility; it provides additional flexibility for designs using wire gauges outside the original specification.

Q: What are the temperature operating range implications?

A: The Amphenol Anytek operates from -40°C to 115°C, compared to the Weidmüller's -50°C to 100°C range. For applications requiring operation below -40°C or above 115°C, the original Weidmüller specification must be maintained or alternative components evaluated.
