Weidmüller 995036 Terminal Block - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Weidmüller 995036 is a 17-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 wire termination. The product is classified as obsolete, making equivalent substitute parts necessary for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations where this series is no longer available from the original manufacturer.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Weidmüller 995036 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Position Count: Must be 17 positions
• Pitch: Must be 0.197" (5.00mm)
• Mating Orientation: Must be horizontal with board
• Mounting Type: Must be through hole
• Voltage Rating: Minimum 300 V
• Current Rating: Minimum 15 A
• Wire Gauge Compatibility: Must accommodate 12-26 AWG minimum
• Interlocking Feature: Must include side-entry interlocking
• Contact Material: Copper alloy with tin plating preferred for compatibility

The two substitute parts listed below meet these core substitution criteria while maintaining functional equivalence for PCB-mounted applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

TE Connectivity 1-1986711-7 is suitable for applications requiring RoHS compliance and extended operating temperature range. This part is currently in active production status with higher inventory availability. The screwless push-button clamp termination differs from the original screw-clamping design but provides equivalent electrical and mechanical function for 17-position 5.00mm pitch applications. Wire gauge acceptance extends to 30 AWG, providing broader compatibility for smaller gauge conductors.

Eaton EM258517V maintains screw-based termination architecture closer to the original design, utilizing a rising cage clamp mechanism. This part operates across an extended temperature range and is actively produced. The brass contact material with tin plating provides equivalent electrical performance to the copper alloy contacts of the original part.

Both substitute parts exceed the original 15 A current rating and maintain 300 V voltage specifications. Selection between these options depends on termination method preference and compliance requirements specific to the application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TE Connectivity 1-1986711-7 directly replace the Weidmüller 995036 in existing PCB designs?

A: Yes, for electrical and mechanical compatibility. The 17-position, 5.00mm pitch, and through-hole mounting are identical. However, the termination method differs from screw-clamping to screwless push-button clamp, which may affect assembly procedures and tooling requirements.

Q: What is the primary difference between the two substitute parts?

A: The TE Connectivity part uses screwless push-button termination, while the Eaton part retains screw-based termination with a rising cage clamp design. Both achieve equivalent electrical performance for 17-position 5.00mm pitch applications.

Q: Are both substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: The TE Connectivity 1-1986711-7 is explicitly RoHS compliant. The Eaton EM258517V RoHS status is not specified in the provided data.

Q: Does wire gauge compatibility affect substitution?

A: The TE Connectivity part accepts 12-30 AWG, providing broader compatibility than the original 12-26 AWG specification. The Eaton part matches the original 12-26 AWG range. Both accommodate the original specification range.

Q: What is the impact of different operating temperature ranges?

A: The original part operates -20°C to 100°C. Both substitutes extend the lower temperature limit to -40°C and upper limits to 105-110°C, providing enhanced performance in wider environmental conditions.

Q: Are the screw specifications compatible between the original and Eaton substitute?

A: The original uses M3 screws with 0.5-0.6 Nm torque. The Eaton part uses M2.6 screws with 0.56 Nm torque. These differences require verification against specific assembly equipment and procedures.
