Weidmüller 995155 Terminal Block - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Weidmüller 995155 is a 6-position wire-to-board terminal block with 0.200" (5.08mm) pitch, designed for horizontal mounting through PCB holes. This component belongs to the Omnimate LP series and features screw-clamping wire termination with side interlocking. The part is currently obsolete, making identification of compatible substitute components essential for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations where equivalent functionality is required.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of terminal block components is determined by electrical and mechanical compatibility across the following critical parameters:

• Positions per level and pitch (0.200" / 5.08mm) ensure PCB footprint compatibility
• Current and voltage ratings (15 A / 300 V) establish electrical performance equivalence
• Mating orientation (horizontal with board) and mounting type (through hole) confirm mechanical fit
• Wire termination method (screw-clamping) and interlocking features (side) maintain functional compatibility
• Housing material and contact plating ensure reliability and environmental performance

The Weidmüller 9993940000 qualifies as a substitute based on these core parameters, despite differences in wire gauge range, operating temperature, screw specifications, and series designation.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Weidmüller 9993940000 is suitable as a substitute for the obsolete 995155 in applications where the wire gauge range 14-24 AWG is compatible with system requirements. The substitute part offers improved compliance status (RoHS Compliant) and extended operating temperature range (-50°C ~ 120°C versus -20°C ~ 100°C), providing enhanced environmental performance. Both parts maintain identical electrical ratings, pitch, and mechanical mounting characteristics. The screw thread difference (M2.5 versus M3) and torque specification variance (0.4-0.5 Nm versus 0.5-0.6 Nm) reflect series-level design changes but do not affect functional compatibility for standard wire termination applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 9993940000 be used as a direct replacement for the 995155?

A: Yes, for applications where wire gauge requirements fall within 14-24 AWG. The 9993940000 maintains identical pitch, position count, current/voltage ratings, and mounting configuration. Verify wire gauge compatibility with your specific application before substitution.

Q: What is the significance of the wire gauge difference between these parts?

A: The 995155 accepts 12-26 AWG wire, while the 9993940000 accepts 14-24 AWG. If your application uses 12 AWG or 25-26 AWG wire, the 995155 specifications are required. For standard applications using 14-24 AWG, both parts are compatible.

Q: Does the screw thread difference (M3 versus M2.5) affect compatibility?

A: The screw thread and torque specifications are part of the internal clamping mechanism design. Both parts use the same wire termination method (screw-clamping yoke with tension sleeve) and are designed for their respective specifications. Use the torque values provided for each part: 0.5-0.6 Nm for 995155 and 0.4-0.5 Nm for 9993940000.

Q: What are the packaging differences?

A: The 995155 is listed with no specified packaging designation, while the 9993940000 is supplied in bulk packaging. Confirm packaging requirements with your procurement specifications.

Q: Is the 9993940000 RoHS compliant?

A: Yes, the 9993940000 is RoHS Compliant. The 995155 has RoHS status listed as Not applicable due to its obsolete status. If RoHS compliance is a system requirement, the 9993940000 meets this criterion.

Q: What is the operating temperature range difference?

A: The 995155 operates from -20°C to 100°C, while the 9993940000 operates from -50°C to 120°C. The substitute part provides a wider temperature envelope, suitable for applications requiring extended thermal performance.
