Weidmüller 995007 Terminal Block - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Weidmüller 995007 is a 9-position wire-to-board terminal block with 5mm pitch, designed for horizontal mounting through PCB holes. This component belongs to the Omnimate LP series and features screw-clamping wire termination with side interlocking. The part is classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives essential for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations where legacy compatibility is required.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 796683-9 qualifies as a functional substitute based on the following alignment of critical parameters:

• Position Count & Pitch: Both parts maintain 9 positions at 0.197" (5.00mm) pitch, ensuring PCB footprint compatibility
• Mating Orientation: Both feature horizontal with board configuration, maintaining mechanical fit
• Voltage Rating: Both rated at 300 V, meeting electrical requirements
• Mounting Type: Both use through-hole PCB mounting
• Screw Thread: Both utilize M3 screw threads, ensuring tool and torque specification compatibility
• Housing Material: Both constructed from Polyamide (PA66), Nylon 6/6
• Side Interlocking: Both incorporate side interlocking features for mechanical stability

Substitution is valid where the 796683-9 meets or exceeds the electrical and mechanical specifications of the 995007, with the understanding that minor differences in wire termination mechanism and material plating do not prevent functional equivalence in standard applications.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TE Connectivity 796683-9 is the identified substitute for the obsolete Weidmüller 995007. Selection of this alternative is supported by:

• Product Status: The 796683-9 maintains active manufacturing status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity
• Electrical Compliance: The 796683-9 meets or exceeds all voltage and current specifications of the original part
• Mechanical Compatibility: Identical pitch, position count, and mounting configuration ensure direct PCB footprint compatibility
• Regulatory Compliance: The 796683-9 is RoHS Compliant and REACH Affected, meeting current environmental and regulatory standards applicable to electronic components
• Certification Alignment: Both parts carry EAR99 ECCN classification and identical HTSUS codes, indicating equivalent regulatory treatment

The primary design consideration is the difference in wire termination mechanism (clamping yoke with tension sleeve versus rising cage clamp). This difference does not prevent functional substitution but may require verification of wire insertion and extraction procedures during assembly transition.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TE Connectivity 796683-9 be used as a direct replacement for the Weidmüller 995007 in existing designs?

A: Yes, the 796683-9 qualifies as a functional substitute based on matching position count, pitch, voltage rating, current capacity, mounting type, and screw thread specifications. The PCB footprint is compatible. However, the wire termination mechanism differs, requiring verification that assembly procedures remain compatible with your manufacturing process.

Q: What is the difference in wire termination between these two parts?

A: The 995007 uses a screw-clamping yoke with tension sleeve mechanism, while the 796683-9 uses a rising cage clamp design. Both are screw-actuated termination systems. The functional outcome is equivalent wire retention, but the mechanical action differs slightly during wire insertion and removal.

Q: Does the 796683-9 support the same wire gauge range as the 995007?

A: The 796683-9 supports 12-30 AWG, which exceeds the 995007 specification of 12-26 AWG. This means the 796683-9 can accommodate all wire sizes supported by the original part, plus additional smaller gauges (28-30 AWG).

Q: Are there any compliance differences between these parts?

A: The 796683-9 is RoHS Compliant and REACH Affected, while the 995007 is marked as Not Applicable for RoHS and REACH Unaffected. If your application requires RoHS compliance, the 796683-9 meets this requirement. Both parts carry identical EAR99 ECCN and HTSUS classifications.

Q: What is the current rating difference, and does it matter?

A: The 995007 is rated at 15 A, while the 796683-9 is rated at 17.5 A. The 796683-9 exceeds the original specification, making it suitable for applications requiring the original 15 A rating. This difference does not prevent substitution.

Q: Are the screw specifications identical?

A: Yes, both parts use M3 screw threads. However, the torque specifications differ: the 995007 specifies 0.5-0.6 Nm (4.4-5.3 Lb-In), while the 796683-9 specifies 0.79 Nm (7.0 Lb-In). Assembly procedures should reference the appropriate torque value for each part.

Q: What packaging is available for the 796683-9?

A: The 796683-9 is supplied in Bulk packaging, with 682 pieces currently in stock as new original inventory.
