Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the Weidmüller 995071 and TE Connectivity 1-796683-0 maintain Active product status, ensuring continued availability and manufacturer support. The TE Connectivity substitute provides enhanced electrical performance with a 17.5A current rating compared to the 15A rating of the Weidmüller part, and extends wire gauge compatibility to 30 AWG maximum.

The TE Connectivity part achieves ROHS3 compliance, whereas the Weidmüller part is classified as not applicable for RoHS. For applications requiring regulatory compliance with RoHS3 standards, the TE Connectivity substitute is the appropriate selection. Both parts share identical voltage ratings, pitch spacing, mounting configuration, and M3 screw thread specifications, confirming mechanical and electrical interchangeability within the specified parameter envelope.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TE Connectivity 1-796683-0 directly replace the Weidmüller 995071 on existing PCB designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical pitch spacing (5.00mm), 10-position configuration, through-hole mounting type, M3 screw thread, and horizontal board orientation. PCB footprints are compatible without modification.

Q: What is the difference in wire termination methods between these parts?

A: The Weidmüller 995071 uses a clamping yoke with tension sleeve design, while the TE Connectivity 1-796683-0 employs a rising cage clamp mechanism. Both are screw-based termination systems compatible with the specified wire gauge ranges.

Q: Does the TE Connectivity substitute support the same wire gauge range?

A: The TE Connectivity part extends the wire gauge range to 12-30 AWG, compared to the Weidmüller specification of 12-26 AWG. This provides additional flexibility for thinner gauge wire applications while maintaining full compatibility with the original 12-26 AWG range.

Q: What is the significance of the current rating difference?

A: The TE Connectivity substitute is rated for 17.5A versus the Weidmüller 15A rating. This higher current capacity provides design margin and is suitable for applications originally specified for 15A operation.

Q: Are there compliance differences between these parts?

A: The TE Connectivity part is ROHS3 compliant and REACH affected, while the Weidmüller part is classified as not applicable for both standards. For applications requiring RoHS3 certification, the TE Connectivity substitute is the appropriate choice.

Q: What is the screw torque specification for the TE Connectivity substitute?

A: The TE Connectivity 1-796683-0 specifies 0.79 Nm (7.0 Lb-In) torque, compared to 0.5-0.6 Nm (4.4-5.3 Lb-In) for the Weidmüller part. Installation procedures must follow the respective manufacturer torque specifications.
