Weidmüller 995109 Terminal Block - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Weidmüller 995109 is a 6-position wire-to-board terminal block with 45° mating orientation and 5.00mm pitch, designed for through-hole PCB mounting. This component belongs to the Omnimate LP series and is classified as obsolete. Given its obsolete status, identifying equivalent substitute parts is essential for ongoing system maintenance, repair, and new design implementations where this connector type is required.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Weidmüller 995109 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Position Count: Must be 6 positions
• Pitch: Must be 0.197" (5.00mm)
• Mounting Type: Must be through-hole PCB mounting
• Voltage Rating: Must meet or exceed 300 V
• Current Rating: Must meet or exceed 15 A
• Wire Gauge Compatibility: Must accommodate 12-26 AWG minimum
• Screw Thread: Must be M3
• Housing Material: Polyamide (PA66) or equivalent
• Wire Termination Method: Screw-based clamping mechanism

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 796690-6 qualifies as a substitute based on these parameters. While the mating orientation differs slightly (35° vs. 45°), both angles represent angled board-mount configurations within the same connector family. The substitute maintains electrical compatibility through equivalent voltage and current ratings, compatible pitch spacing, and M3 screw termination.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TE Connectivity 796690-6 is the qualified substitute for the obsolete Weidmüller 995109. Selection should be based on the following factors:

Product Status: The Weidmüller 995109 is obsolete, making the active TE Connectivity 796690-6 the appropriate choice for new designs and ongoing procurement.

Compliance and Certifications: The TE Connectivity 796690-6 carries RoHS Compliant status and REACH Affected designation, meeting current regulatory requirements. The Weidmüller 995109 is not subject to these standards due to its obsolete classification.

Electrical Compatibility: Both parts maintain 300 V voltage rating and M3 screw termination. The TE Connectivity substitute provides higher current capacity (17.5 A vs. 15 A) and extended wire gauge range (12-30 AWG vs. 12-26 AWG), offering improved flexibility for wire selection.

Mechanical Considerations: Mating orientation differs by 10° (35° vs. 45°). PCB layout and connector positioning must be evaluated to confirm mechanical fit within the available space. Both use through-hole mounting with identical 5.00mm pitch spacing.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TE Connectivity 796690-6 directly replace the Weidmüller 995109 without PCB modification?

A: Direct replacement depends on PCB layout. The 10° difference in mating orientation (35° vs. 45°) may require evaluation of connector clearance and wire routing space. Pitch spacing and screw thread specifications are identical, but physical board positioning should be confirmed.

Q: Are the wire termination methods compatible between these parts?

A: Both use screw-based termination with M3 threads. The Weidmüller uses a clamping yoke with tension sleeve, while the TE Connectivity uses a rising cage clamp. Both methods are screw-actuated and functionally equivalent for wire retention.

Q: What is the significance of the wire gauge range difference?

A: The TE Connectivity 796690-6 accommodates 12-30 AWG compared to the Weidmüller's 12-26 AWG. This provides additional flexibility for thinner wire applications (27-30 AWG) if required by system design.

Q: Does the higher current rating of the TE Connectivity part affect compatibility?

A: No. The TE Connectivity 796690-6 rated at 17.5 A exceeds the Weidmüller 995109's 15 A requirement. This provides additional safety margin and does not create compatibility issues.

Q: What are the packaging differences between these parts?

A: The Weidmüller 995109 is supplied in standard packaging, while the TE Connectivity 796690-6 is supplied in bulk packaging. Procurement quantities and handling procedures may differ accordingly.

Q: Are there any compliance considerations for design updates?

A: The TE Connectivity 796690-6 is RoHS Compliant and REACH Affected, meeting current environmental and regulatory standards. Designs transitioning from the obsolete Weidmüller part should incorporate the TE Connectivity substitute to maintain compliance with current regulations.
