Weidmüller 995026 Terminal Block - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Weidmüller 995026 is a 7-position wire-to-board terminal block with 5mm pitch, designed for horizontal PCB mounting through-hole applications. This component operates at 300V with 15A current capacity and accommodates wire gauges from 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 995026 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Primary Compatibility Criteria:

• 7 positions per level (exact match required for direct replacement)
• 5mm pitch (0.197") for PCB footprint compatibility
• Horizontal with board mating orientation
• Through-hole mounting type
• 300V voltage rating minimum
• M3 screw thread specification

Secondary Compatibility Factors:

• Current rating of 15A or higher
• Wire gauge range that encompasses 12-26 AWG
• Screw termination method (rising cage clamp or clamping yoke acceptable)
• Operating temperature range that covers -20°C to 100°C

Substitute Classification:

Full Equivalents (7-Position, 5mm Pitch):

• EM258507V (Eaton Euro-Mag EM2585)
• VI0701550000G (Amphenol Anytek 21-500)

Partial Equivalent (Different Position Count):

• 282836-9 (TE Connectivity Buchanan) - 9 positions, requires PCB layout modification

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct Replacement Options (No PCB Modification Required):

EM258507V and VI0701550000G are functionally equivalent to the Weidmüller 995026 for applications requiring 7-position, 5mm pitch terminal blocks. Both parts maintain identical position count and pitch specifications, ensuring direct PCB footprint compatibility.

EM258507V (Eaton Euro-Mag EM2585) offers ROHS3 compliance and an extended operating temperature range (-40°C to 105°C), providing broader environmental tolerance than the original part. Current rating of 16A exceeds the 995026 specification.

VI0701550000G (Amphenol Anytek 21-500) provides ROHS3 compliance with the highest operating temperature range (-40°C to 115°C) among available substitutes. Wire gauge accommodation extends to 28 AWG, and current rating reaches 16A. This part is currently in active production with highest inventory availability (2127 pcs).

Alternative with Layout Modification:

282836-9 (TE Connectivity Buchanan) is a 9-position variant with identical 5mm pitch and through-hole mounting. This part requires PCB layout modification to accommodate the additional two positions. Current rating of 14.6A falls below the original 995026 specification of 15A. Wire gauge range of 16-30 AWG does not fully encompass the original 12-26 AWG specification. This option is suitable only when PCB redesign is feasible and current requirements can be verified as acceptable.

Compliance Considerations:

The original Weidmüller 995026 carries "Not applicable" RoHS status due to its obsolete classification. All three substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant, meeting current regulatory requirements for new designs and production runs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can EM258507V directly replace the Weidmüller 995026 without PCB modification?

A: Yes. EM258507V maintains identical position count (7), pitch (5mm), mating orientation (horizontal with board), and through-hole mounting type. No PCB layout changes are required. The rising cage clamp termination method differs from the original clamping yoke design but provides equivalent screw-based wire retention with M3 thread specification.

Q: What is the key difference between VI0701550000G and EM258507V?

A: Both parts are 7-position, 5mm pitch equivalents. VI0701550000G offers a wider operating temperature range (-40°C to 115°C versus -40°C to 105°C) and accommodates wire gauges up to 28 AWG (versus 26 AWG). VI0701550000G has higher inventory availability (2127 pcs versus 1311 pcs). Both are ROHS3 compliant and active production parts.

Q: Why is 282836-9 listed as a substitute if it has 9 positions?

A: 282836-9 shares the same 5mm pitch, voltage rating, through-hole mounting, and M3 screw specification. It is functionally compatible only when PCB layout can be modified to accommodate the additional two positions. This part is included for applications where position count flexibility exists or where future expansion capacity is beneficial.

Q: Does the wire termination method difference affect compatibility?

A: The Weidmüller 995026 uses clamping yoke with tension sleeve termination, while EM258507V and VI0701550000G use rising cage clamp termination. Both methods provide screw-based wire clamping with M3 threads. The rising cage clamp design is widely used in modern terminal block applications and provides equivalent electrical and mechanical performance for the specified current and voltage ratings.

Q: What wire gauge range should I verify when substituting?

A: The original 995026 accommodates 12-26 AWG. EM258507V matches this range exactly (12-26 AWG). VI0701550000G extends to 28 AWG, providing broader compatibility. 282836-9 specifies 16-30 AWG, which does not fully cover the lower end of the original range. Verify your application's wire gauge requirements against the selected substitute.

Q: Are all substitute parts currently available?

A: Yes. EM258507V has 1311 pcs in stock, and VI0701550000G has 2127 pcs in stock. Both are classified as active products. 282836-9 has 840 pcs available and is also active production. Availability status should be confirmed with your component supplier for current procurement timelines.
