Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Weidmüller 995140 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Pitch (0.200" / 5.08mm): Must match exactly for PCB footprint compatibility
• Position Count (12): Must remain constant for circuit connectivity
• Mating Orientation (Horizontal with Board): Must be identical for mechanical fit
• Mounting Type (Through Hole): Must match for assembly compatibility
• Voltage Rating (300 V minimum): Substitute must meet or exceed this specification
• Current Rating (15 A minimum): Substitute must support this load or higher
• Screw Thread (M3): Must match for tool compatibility and assembly
• Housing Material (Polyamide PA66/Nylon 6/6): Ensures thermal and chemical compatibility

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors part number 1-282841-2 meets all critical substitution criteria while offering enhanced electrical performance and active product status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 1-282841-2 is a direct functional substitute for the obsolete Weidmüller 995140. Selection is supported by the following factors:

• All critical mechanical and electrical parameters match or exceed the original specification
• The substitute maintains active product status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity
• Both components are RoHS compliant; the substitute achieves ROHS3 compliance, meeting current regulatory requirements
• The substitute provides enhanced current capacity (17.5 A vs. 15 A) and extended wire gauge compatibility (12-30 AWG vs. 12-26 AWG), offering design flexibility without compromising performance
• Identical pitch, position count, and mounting orientation ensure direct PCB footprint compatibility
• Both components utilize M3 screw threads, maintaining assembly tool compatibility

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TE Connectivity 1-282841-2 be used as a direct replacement for the Weidmüller 995140 on existing PCBs?

A: Yes. Both components share identical pitch (5.08mm), position count (12), mounting type (through hole), and mating orientation (horizontal with board). PCB footprints are compatible without modification.

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

A: The primary differences are product status (obsolete vs. active), wire termination method (screw-clamping yoke vs. rising cage clamp), contact material composition, and electrical performance. The TE Connectivity substitute provides higher current capacity (17.5 A vs. 15 A) and broader wire gauge support (12-30 AWG vs. 12-26 AWG).

Q: Are both components RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The Weidmüller 995140 is RoHS compliant. The TE Connectivity 1-282841-2 achieves ROHS3 compliance, which represents the current regulatory standard.

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

A: Wire termination methods differ between the two components (screw-clamping yoke vs. rising cage clamp). Both methods are industry-standard screw-based termination approaches. Selection depends on assembly process requirements and operator familiarity with each clamping mechanism.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for the substitute part?

A: The operating temperature range for the TE Connectivity 1-282841-2 was not provided in the available technical data. Verify this specification against your application requirements before final selection.

Q: Are there inventory considerations when selecting the substitute?

A: The Weidmüller 995140 has 761 units in stock (new original). The TE Connectivity 1-282841-2 has 992 units in stock (new original, bulk packaging). Both components are currently available.
