Weidmüller 995016 Terminal Block - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Weidmüller 995016 is an 18-position wire-to-board terminal block with 5.00mm pitch, designed for horizontal mounting through PCB holes. This component features side-entry interlocking configuration with screw-clamping termination, supporting 15A at 300V across wire gauges 12-26 AWG. 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 eligibility for the Weidmüller 995016 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Position count and pitch: Must maintain 18 positions at 0.197" (5.00mm) spacing to ensure PCB footprint compatibility
• Mating orientation: Horizontal with board configuration required for mechanical fit
• Mounting method: Through-hole mounting on identical PCB hole pattern
• Electrical ratings: Minimum 15A current and 300V voltage support
• Wire termination compatibility: Screw-based clamping systems acceptable
• Interlocking feature: Side-entry interlocking configuration for mechanical stability
• Screw specification: M3 thread standard

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 1-282856-8 meets all substitution criteria. This part maintains identical position count, pitch, orientation, and mounting type while exceeding electrical performance specifications (24A vs. 15A) and supporting an expanded wire gauge range (12-30 AWG vs. 12-26 AWG).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TE Connectivity 1-282856-8 is the direct functional equivalent for the obsolete Weidmüller 995016. Selection should be based on the following factors:

Product Status: The Weidmüller 995016 is obsolete with no ongoing manufacturing. The TE Connectivity alternative maintains active production status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity.

Regulatory Compliance: The TE Connectivity part carries ROHS3 compliance certification, meeting current environmental standards. For applications requiring REACH compliance documentation, the TE Connectivity part is REACH Affected and provides full traceability.

Electrical Performance: The substitute part exceeds the original specifications with 24A current capacity versus 15A, providing additional design margin. Both parts maintain 300V voltage rating and M3 screw specifications.

Mechanical Compatibility: Identical pitch, position count, orientation, and through-hole mounting ensure direct PCB footprint compatibility without layout modifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TE Connectivity 1-282856-8 directly replace the Weidmüller 995016 on existing PCBs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical pitch (5.00mm), position count (18), mating orientation (horizontal with board), and through-hole mounting specifications. No PCB redesign is required.

Q: What are the key differences between these parts?

A: The primary differences are manufacturer series (Omnimate LP vs. Buchanan), wire termination mechanism (clamping yoke with tension sleeve vs. rising cage clamp), current rating (15A vs. 24A), and regulatory status (obsolete vs. active production). The substitute supports expanded wire gauge range (12-30 AWG vs. 12-26 AWG).

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns with wire gauge differences?

A: The TE Connectivity part accepts 12-30 AWG wire, which encompasses the original 12-26 AWG specification. Existing wire installations within the 12-26 AWG range are fully compatible.

Q: What is the impact of different screw torque specifications?

A: The Weidmüller part specifies 0.5-0.6 Nm torque, while the TE Connectivity part specifies 0.79 Nm. The higher torque value on the substitute reflects the rising cage clamp design and should be applied per the TE Connectivity datasheet to ensure proper termination.

Q: Does the substitute part meet current regulatory requirements?

A: The TE Connectivity 1-282856-8 carries ROHS3 compliance certification. For applications in REACH-regulated markets, this part is REACH Affected and provides full compliance documentation.

Q: Are the packaging formats compatible?

A: The Weidmüller part is supplied in standard packaging, while the TE Connectivity substitute is supplied in bulk packaging. This affects handling and storage but does not impact electrical or mechanical performance.
