Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Weidmüller 995065 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Mechanical Compatibility: 4 positions, 5mm pitch, horizontal orientation, through-hole mounting, M3 screw thread
• Electrical Compatibility: 300 V voltage rating, wire gauge acceptance range (minimum 12 AWG), polyamide housing material
• Functional Compatibility: Side interlocking feature, screw-based wire termination

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 796683-4 meets these substitution criteria. Both components share identical mechanical footprints, pitch specifications, mounting methods, and core electrical ratings. Differences in current capacity (17.5 A vs. 15 A), wire gauge range (12-30 AWG vs. 12-26 AWG), and termination mechanism (Rising Cage Clamp vs. Screw - Clamping Yoke) represent enhanced or alternative specifications that do not preclude substitution in applications designed for the primary part.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the Weidmüller 995065 and TE Connectivity 796683-4 maintain Active product status, ensuring continued availability and manufacturer support. The TE Connectivity 796683-4 carries ROHS3 compliance certification, which may be required for applications subject to European Union Restriction of Hazardous Substances regulations. The Weidmüller 995065 is classified as Not applicable for RoHS status.

Selection between these components should be based on regulatory requirements, supply chain availability, and specific application voltage and current demands. Both components are rated for 300 V operation and support M3 screw termination with identical mechanical footprints.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TE Connectivity 796683-4 be used as a direct replacement for the Weidmüller 995065?

A: Yes, within the constraints of your application design. Both components share identical pitch (5mm), position count (4), mounting method (through-hole), and voltage rating (300 V). The TE Connectivity part supports higher current capacity (17.5 A vs. 15 A) and broader wire gauge acceptance (12-30 AWG vs. 12-26 AWG), making it suitable for applications designed for the Weidmüller specification.

Q: What are the key mechanical compatibility factors?

A: Mechanical compatibility is ensured through matching pitch (5mm), position configuration (4-position), screw thread specification (M3), and mounting orientation (horizontal with board, through-hole). Both components use identical polyamide housing material.

Q: Does the difference in wire termination method affect substitution?

A: The Weidmüller 995065 uses Screw - Clamping Yoke termination, while the TE Connectivity 796683-4 uses Rising Cage Clamp termination. Both are screw-based mechanisms compatible with M3 threads. Termination method selection depends on your assembly process and wire retention requirements.

Q: Are there compliance differences between these parts?

A: The TE Connectivity 796683-4 is ROHS3 compliant, while the Weidmüller 995065 is classified as Not applicable for RoHS status. If your application requires RoHS compliance certification, the TE Connectivity part is the appropriate selection.

Q: What is the packaging difference?

A: The Weidmüller 995065 is supplied with unspecified packaging, while the TE Connectivity 796683-4 is supplied in Bulk packaging. Confirm packaging requirements with your procurement specifications.
