Weidmüller 995159 Terminal Block - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Weidmüller 995159 is a 10-position wire-to-board terminal block from the Omnimate LP series, designed for horizontal PCB mounting with 0.200" (5.08mm) pitch spacing. This component is classified as obsolete, making identification of compatible substitute parts essential for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations. The part supports screw-clamping wire termination with ratings suitable for industrial control and distribution applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Weidmüller 995159 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Pitch spacing: 0.200" (5.08mm) - PCB hole pattern compatibility
• Mating orientation: Horizontal with Board - physical mounting alignment
• Current and voltage ratings: 15 A / 300 V - electrical load capacity
• Wire termination method: Screw-clamping mechanism - connection reliability
• Mounting type: Through Hole - board integration method
• Contact material and plating: Copper Alloy - Tin Plated - corrosion resistance and conductivity

The substitute part Weidmüller 1912540000 shares the same pitch, mating orientation, current/voltage ratings, wire termination method, mounting type, and contact material specifications. However, it differs in position count (4 vs. 10), series designation (Omnimate LS vs. Omnimate LP), wire gauge range, housing material, and screw thread size. These differences establish it as a compatible substitute only for applications requiring 4-position configurations with equivalent electrical and mechanical characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Weidmüller 1912540000 is an active-status substitute for the obsolete 995159 where application requirements permit a 4-position configuration. Both parts maintain identical electrical ratings (15 A / 300 V), pitch spacing (5.08mm), and screw-clamping termination architecture. Both are RoHS compliant and REACH unaffected, satisfying regulatory compliance requirements.

Selection of the 1912540000 requires confirmation that the circuit design accommodates the reduced position count and the narrower wire gauge range (14-28 AWG vs. 12-26 AWG). The M2.5 screw thread and reduced torque specification (0.4-0.5 Nm) differ from the original M3 specification and must be accommodated in assembly procedures.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1912540000 directly replace the 995159 in existing designs?

A: Direct replacement is not possible due to position count mismatch (4 vs. 10). The 1912540000 is suitable only for applications requiring 4-position terminal blocks with equivalent electrical and mechanical characteristics.

Q: Are the pitch spacings compatible between these parts?

A: Yes. Both parts feature 0.200" (5.08mm) pitch spacing, ensuring PCB hole pattern compatibility for applications where position count is not a limiting factor.

Q: What wire gauge ranges are supported?

A: The 995159 supports 12-26 AWG. The 1912540000 supports 14-28 AWG. Applications using wire gauges smaller than 14 AWG require the original 995159 specification.

Q: Do both parts meet current industrial compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both the 995159 and 1912540000 are RoHS compliant and REACH unaffected. The 1912540000 carries active product status, while the 995159 is obsolete.

Q: What is the difference in screw specifications?

A: The 995159 uses M3 screws with 0.5-0.6 Nm torque specification. The 1912540000 uses M2.5 screws with 0.4-0.5 Nm torque specification. Assembly procedures must reflect these differences.

Q: Are the housing materials functionally equivalent?

A: Both materials provide suitable insulation and mechanical support for the specified operating temperature range. The 995159 uses Polyamide (PA66), while the 1912540000 uses Thermoplastic (Wemid). Material selection does not affect electrical performance for the specified ratings.
