Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Weidmüller 8967360000 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Coil Voltage: 24VAC/DC
• Contact Form: SPDT (1 Form C)
• Contact Rating (Current): 6 A
• Mounting Type: DIN Rail
• Coil Type: Non Latching
• Termination Style: Screw Terminal

Allowable Variation Parameters:

• Switching Voltage: Equal to or greater than 250VAC
• Coil Current: Within ±15% tolerance (acceptable range: 9.35 mA to 12.65 mA)
• Operating Temperature Range: Equal to or broader than -25°C ~ 55°C
• Contact Material: Alternative materials acceptable if electrical performance is maintained
• Operate/Release Time: Variation acceptable within industrial relay standards
• Product Status: Active status preferred for long-term availability

The substitute part Weidmüller 1984580000 meets all mandatory matching parameters and operates within allowable variation ranges, qualifying it as a direct functional equivalent.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Weidmüller 1984580000 is the qualified substitute for the obsolete Weidmüller 8967360000. Selection is based on the following engineering criteria:

Functional Equivalence: Both relays maintain identical coil voltage (24VAC/DC), contact configuration (SPDT), current rating (6A), and mounting interface (DIN Rail). Electrical performance requirements are fully satisfied.

Compliance Alignment: Both parts maintain RoHS Compliance and REACH Unaffected status, ensuring regulatory consistency in applications subject to environmental directives.

Availability Advantage: The substitute part 1984580000 carries Active product status with 832 units in stock, compared to the obsolete status of the main part. This ensures long-term supply chain reliability for new installations and system replacements.

Enhanced Operating Range: The substitute provides an extended operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 60°C versus -25°C ~ 55°C), offering improved performance in temperature-critical applications.

Contact Material Variation: The substitute employs Silver Nickel (AgNi) contact material instead of Silver Tin Oxide (AgSnO). Both materials are standard in industrial relay applications and maintain equivalent electrical switching performance at the specified 6A rating and 250VAC switching voltage.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Weidmüller 1984580000 directly replace the 8967360000 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both relays share identical coil voltage, contact configuration, current rating, mounting type, and termination style. Physical and electrical compatibility is confirmed across all critical parameters.

Q: What is the significance of the different contact materials (AgSnO vs. AgNi)?

A: Both Silver Tin Oxide and Silver Nickel are established contact materials for industrial relays operating at 6A and 250VAC. The material difference does not affect functional compatibility at the specified electrical ratings. Contact material selection is based on application-specific requirements such as load type and switching frequency, which are not altered by this substitution.

Q: Why does the substitute part have a broader operating temperature range?

A: The Weidmüller 1984580000 is rated for -40°C ~ 60°C, compared to -25°C ~ 55°C for the main part. This represents an enhancement in the substitute design. Applications operating within the original temperature range (-25°C ~ 55°C) will function identically in both parts.

Q: What is the difference in coil current between the two parts?

A: The main part draws 11 mA while the substitute draws 11.7 mA. This 0.7 mA difference (approximately 6.4% variation) falls within standard industrial tolerance ranges and does not affect circuit design or power supply requirements for typical 24VDC control systems.

Q: Are both parts suitable for new designs?

A: The Weidmüller 8967360000 is classified as Obsolete and should not be specified for new designs. The Weidmüller 1984580000 carries Active product status and is the appropriate choice for new installations, ensuring long-term component availability and manufacturer support.

Q: Do both relays include the same accessories?

A: Yes. Both the main part and substitute include a lighted indicator and socket, maintaining feature parity for panel integration and diagnostic visibility.
