Weidmüller 995012 Terminal Block - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Weidmüller 995012 is a 14-position wire-to-board terminal block with 5.00mm pitch, designed for horizontal mounting through PCB holes. This component features screw-clamping wire termination with side interlocking capability, supporting currents up to 15A at 300V. 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 from primary inventory channels.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Weidmüller 995012 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Position Count & Pitch: Substitute must provide exactly 14 positions at 0.197" (5.00mm) pitch to ensure PCB footprint compatibility
• Mounting Configuration: Through-hole horizontal orientation with board is mandatory for mechanical fit
• Electrical Ratings: Minimum 15A current and 300V voltage support required
• Wire Gauge Compatibility: Must accept 12-26 AWG wire range
• Termination Method: Screw-based clamping mechanism required for installation compatibility
• Interlocking Feature: Side interlocking capability must be present for mechanical stability

The Phoenix Contact 1935284 meets all substitution criteria within these parameters.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1935284 serves as a direct functional substitute for the Weidmüller 995012 based on matching electrical and mechanical specifications. The substitute provides equivalent performance with the following considerations:

Advantages of substitution:

• Active product status ensures ongoing availability and supply chain continuity
• ROHS3 compliance aligns with current regulatory requirements
• Higher current rating (18A vs 15A) provides additional design margin
• Identical pitch, position count, and mounting configuration ensure PCB compatibility without redesign

Implementation considerations:

• Screw torque specification differs (M2.6 thread at 0.35-0.4 Nm vs M3 at 0.5-0.6 Nm); installation procedures must reflect the lower torque requirement to prevent over-tightening
• Housing color differs (green vs orange); this is cosmetic and does not affect electrical function
• Verify that existing installation tooling accommodates M2.6 screw specification

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Phoenix Contact 1935284 be used as a direct replacement without PCB modification?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical pitch (5.00mm), position count (14), and through-hole mounting configuration. PCB footprints are compatible without redesign.

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

A: The screw thread size determines the torque specification and installation tool requirements. The 1935284 uses M2.6 threads with lower torque limits (0.35-0.4 Nm). Installation personnel must use appropriate tooling and follow the lower torque specification to avoid damage.

Q: Are there any electrical performance differences between these parts?

A: Both parts support 300V at the required 15A minimum. The 1935284 has a higher current rating (18A), which provides additional margin but does not change the electrical performance at the 15A operating point.

Q: Does the color difference (orange vs green) affect compatibility?

A: No. Color is a cosmetic feature and does not affect electrical or mechanical function. Selection should be based on visual identification requirements in your application.

Q: What compliance certifications should I verify for new designs?

A: The 1935284 carries ROHS3 compliance and is REACH affected. Verify these certifications meet your end-product regulatory requirements before final design approval.

Q: Can I mix these two part numbers in the same assembly?

A: Mechanically and electrically, yes. However, mixing different screw specifications in a single assembly may complicate installation procedures and maintenance documentation. Standardizing on a single part number is recommended for production consistency.
