Weidmüller 995008 Terminal Block - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Weidmüller 995008 is a 10-position wire-to-board terminal block with 5.00mm pitch, designed for horizontal mounting through PCB holes. This component belongs to the Omnimate LP series and is classified as obsolete. Given its obsolete status and limited availability relative to active alternatives, identifying functionally equivalent substitute parts is essential for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Weidmüller 995008 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Electrical Compatibility: Voltage (300 V) and current rating must meet or exceed the original specification
• Physical Compatibility: Pitch (5.00mm), position count (10), and through-hole mounting must be identical
• Termination Method: Screw-based wire termination is required
• Mechanical Features: Side interlocking capability must be present
• Wire Gauge Support: Must accommodate 12-26 AWG conductors

The Phoenix Contact 1935242 qualifies as a substitute based on these parameters. While it exhibits differences in current rating (18 A vs. 15 A), screw thread size (M2.6 vs. M3), and torque specification, these represent improvements or compatible variations that do not compromise substitution viability. The identical pitch, position count, mounting orientation, voltage rating, wire gauge range, and interlocking feature establish functional equivalence.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1935242 is the qualified substitute for the Weidmüller 995008. Selection rationale is based on the following factors:

Product Status: The Weidmüller 995008 is obsolete, whereas the Phoenix Contact 1935242 is active and maintains current manufacturing support and availability (8078 pcs in stock vs. 1102 pcs).

Regulatory Compliance: The Phoenix Contact 1935242 is ROHS3 compliant and REACH affected, providing alignment with current environmental and regulatory standards. The original Weidmüller part carries "Not applicable" status for both designations, reflecting its obsolete classification.

Electrical Performance: The Phoenix Contact substitute provides a higher current rating (18 A vs. 15 A), which represents a performance improvement and maintains full compatibility with the 300 V voltage specification and 12-26 AWG wire gauge range.

Physical and Functional Compatibility: Both parts share identical pitch (5.00mm), position count (10), mounting orientation, and side interlocking features, ensuring direct mechanical and electrical interchangeability in PCB applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Phoenix Contact 1935242 be used as a direct replacement for the Weidmüller 995008?

A: Yes. Both components share identical pitch (5.00mm), position count (10), through-hole mounting, voltage rating (300 V), and wire gauge support (12-26 AWG). The Phoenix Contact part provides equivalent or improved electrical performance and is actively manufactured.

Q: What is the significance of the different screw thread sizes (M3 vs. M2.6)?

A: The screw thread size difference reflects design variations between manufacturers. The M2.6 thread in the Phoenix Contact part operates at a lower torque specification (0.35-0.4 Nm vs. 0.5-0.6 Nm), which is a compatible design parameter and does not affect substitution viability.

Q: Does the higher current rating of the Phoenix Contact part (18 A vs. 15 A) affect compatibility?

A: No. A higher current rating represents improved electrical capacity and maintains full backward compatibility with applications designed for the original 15 A specification.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The Weidmüller 995008 is listed with unspecified packaging, while the Phoenix Contact 1935242 is supplied in bulk packaging. Confirm packaging requirements with your procurement process.

Q: What is the impact of the obsolete status of the Weidmüller 995008?

A: Obsolete status indicates discontinued manufacturing and limited inventory availability. The Phoenix Contact 1935242, classified as active, ensures long-term supply chain reliability and ongoing technical support.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: The Weidmüller 995008 carries "Not applicable" RoHS status due to its obsolete classification. The Phoenix Contact 1935242 is ROHS3 compliant, meeting current environmental standards for new designs and applications subject to RoHS regulations.
