Weidmüller 995002 Terminal Block - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Weidmüller 995002 is a 4-position wire-to-board terminal block with 5mm pitch, designed for horizontal mounting through PCB holes. This component features side-entry interlocking, screw-clamping termination, and operates across -20°C to 100°C. The part is classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives essential for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations where this series is no longer available.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Weidmüller 995002 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Electrical Compatibility: Voltage rating (300 V minimum), current capacity (15 A minimum), and wire gauge acceptance (12-26 AWG minimum range)
• Mechanical Compatibility: 4-position configuration, 5mm pitch, horizontal board mounting, through-hole installation, and M3 screw thread
• Termination Method: Screw-based wire clamping mechanism
• Environmental Tolerance: Operating temperature range of -20°C to 100°C minimum

The Amphenol Anytek VI0401550000G meets these substitution criteria. It maintains identical position count, pitch, mounting orientation, and screw specifications while exceeding the electrical ratings and expanding the wire gauge acceptance range.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Amphenol Anytek VI0401550000G is an active product with ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating, providing superior availability and regulatory standing compared to the obsolete Weidmüller 995002. The substitute part exceeds the original specifications in current capacity (16 A vs. 15 A), wire gauge range (12-28 AWG vs. 12-26 AWG), and operating temperature envelope (-40°C to 115°C vs. -20°C to 100°C). Both parts maintain identical electrical voltage ratings, mechanical pitch, position count, and M3 screw specifications. Selection of the VI0401550000G eliminates obsolescence risk while maintaining full functional compatibility with existing PCB layouts and electrical requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Amphenol Anytek VI0401550000G directly replace the Weidmüller 995002 on existing PCBs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical 5mm pitch, 4-position configuration, through-hole mounting footprint, and M3 screw specifications. PCB layout compatibility is maintained without modification.

Q: What are the key differences in wire termination between these parts?

A: The Weidmüller 995002 uses a clamping yoke with tension sleeve mechanism, while the Amphenol Anytek VI0401550000G employs a rising cage clamp design. Both are screw-based termination methods compatible with the same wire gauge ranges and torque specifications.

Q: Does the wider operating temperature range of the substitute part affect compatibility?

A: No. The expanded temperature range (-40°C to 115°C) of the VI0401550000G is a performance enhancement that does not impact compatibility with systems designed for the original -20°C to 100°C specification.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The Weidmüller 995002 is supplied in standard packaging, while the Amphenol Anytek VI0401550000G is available in bulk packaging. Both formats accommodate identical component specifications and PCB integration.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to the substitute part?

A: The Amphenol Anytek VI0401550000G is ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (unlimited moisture sensitivity level), providing enhanced regulatory alignment compared to the obsolete original part.
