Weidmüller 995070 Terminal Block - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Weidmüller 995070 is a 9-position wire-to-board terminal block designed for horizontal PCB mounting with 5.00mm pitch spacing. This component belongs to the Omnimate LP series and is currently in active production status. The part features screw-clamping wire termination with side interlocking capability, supporting wire gauges from 12-26 AWG at 15A current capacity and 300V voltage rating. Finding equivalent substitute parts is necessary to ensure design flexibility, manage supply chain continuity, and accommodate alternative sourcing requirements while maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors part number 796683-9 qualifies as a functional substitute for the Weidmüller 995070 based on the following critical parameters:

Matching Parameters:

• 9 positions per level
• 0.197" (5.00mm) pitch spacing
• Horizontal with board mating orientation
• Through hole mounting type
• 300V voltage rating
• M3 screw thread
• Polyamide (PA66), Nylon 6/6 housing material
• Side interlocking features
• Screw-based wire termination method

Allowable Variations:

• Current rating: 15A (main part) vs. 17.5A (substitute) — substitute exceeds minimum requirement
• Wire gauge: 12-26 AWG (main part) vs. 12-30 AWG (substitute) — substitute accommodates broader range
• Clamping mechanism: Clamping Yoke, Tension Sleeve (main part) vs. Rising Cage Clamp (substitute) — both are screw-based clamping methods
• Color: Black (main part) vs. Green (substitute) — cosmetic difference only
• Torque specification: 0.5-0.6 Nm (main part) vs. 0.79 Nm (substitute) — substitute requires higher torque

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the Weidmüller 995070 and TE Connectivity 796683-9 maintain active product status, ensuring continued availability and manufacturer support. The TE Connectivity 796683-9 offers RoHS compliance, which may be required for applications subject to RoHS regulations. The substitute part's higher current rating (17.5A vs. 15A) and expanded wire gauge range (12-30 AWG vs. 12-26 AWG) provide additional design margin without compromising compatibility. The increased screw torque specification (0.79 Nm vs. 0.5-0.6 Nm) requires adjustment of assembly procedures but does not affect electrical performance. Selection between these parts should be based on regulatory compliance requirements, supply availability, and assembly process compatibility with the specified torque values.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TE Connectivity 796683-9 be used as a direct replacement for the Weidmüller 995070?

A: Yes, the TE Connectivity 796683-9 qualifies as a functional substitute. Both parts share identical pitch spacing (5.00mm), position count (9), mounting orientation (horizontal with board), voltage rating (300V), and screw thread specification (M3). The substitute accommodates a broader wire gauge range and provides higher current capacity, making it electrically compatible for applications designed for the Weidmüller part.

Q: What are the key differences between these two terminal blocks?

A: The primary differences are: (1) wire termination mechanism — Clamping Yoke with Tension Sleeve vs. Rising Cage Clamp; (2) current rating — 15A vs. 17.5A; (3) wire gauge range — 12-26 AWG vs. 12-30 AWG; (4) screw torque — 0.5-0.6 Nm vs. 0.79 Nm; (5) housing color — Black vs. Green; (6) RoHS compliance — Not applicable vs. RoHS Compliant.

Q: Does the higher screw torque specification of the TE Connectivity part affect compatibility?

A: The higher torque specification (0.79 Nm vs. 0.5-0.6 Nm) requires assembly procedure adjustment but does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility. Assembly equipment and personnel must apply the correct torque value for the substitute part to ensure proper wire clamping without over-tightening.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The Weidmüller 995070 is supplied in standard packaging, while the TE Connectivity 796683-9 is supplied in bulk packaging. This difference affects order quantities and handling but does not impact component performance or compatibility.

Q: Which part should be selected for RoHS-regulated applications?

A: The TE Connectivity 796683-9 is RoHS Compliant and should be selected for applications subject to RoHS regulations. The Weidmüller 995070 carries a "Not applicable" RoHS status and may not meet RoHS requirements depending on application context.
