Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Weidmüller 995162 is based on the following critical parameters that must remain consistent:

• Positions and Pitch: 13 positions at 0.200" (5.08mm) spacing ensures PCB footprint compatibility
• Mating Orientation and Mounting: Horizontal with board through-hole mounting maintains mechanical fit
• Voltage and Current Ratings: 300 V voltage rating must be maintained; current rating of 15 A establishes minimum acceptable performance
• Interlocking Feature: Side interlocking provides mechanical stability and prevents accidental disconnection
• Contact Material: Copper alloy with tin plating ensures electrical performance and corrosion resistance
• Compliance: RoHS compliance status must be maintained for regulatory alignment

The substitute part Weidmüller 1330830000 meets these core substitution criteria while offering enhanced electrical performance and active product status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Weidmüller 1330830000 is a direct substitute for the obsolete 995162 based on the following factors:

Mechanical Compatibility: Both parts maintain identical 13-position, 0.200" (5.08mm) pitch configuration with horizontal through-hole mounting, ensuring PCB footprint compatibility without layout modifications.

Electrical Performance: The substitute part exceeds the original specification with 20 A current rating versus 15 A, while maintaining the 300 V voltage rating. This provides enhanced current-carrying capacity for the same voltage environment.

Regulatory Compliance: Both parts are RoHS compliant and REACH unaffected, maintaining regulatory alignment across manufacturing jurisdictions.

Product Status: The substitute part is active in production, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain stability compared to the obsolete original part.

Functional Differences: The primary functional difference is the wire termination method. The 995162 uses screw-clamping termination, while the 1330830000 employs screwless push-in spring termination. This represents a design evolution that simplifies installation while maintaining electrical integrity.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1330830000 be used as a direct replacement for the 995162 in existing designs?

A: Yes, the 1330830000 provides mechanical and electrical compatibility. Both parts share identical pitch (0.200"), position count (13), voltage rating (300 V), and through-hole mounting configuration. PCB layouts require no modification. The primary consideration is the termination method change from screw-clamping to push-in spring, which affects installation procedures but not electrical performance.

Q: What is the impact of the different wire termination methods?

A: The 995162 uses screw-clamping termination requiring torque application (0.5-0.6 Nm), while the 1330830000 uses screwless push-in spring termination. Both methods provide secure electrical connection. The push-in method eliminates torque specification requirements and reduces assembly time.

Q: Are there wire gauge compatibility considerations?

A: The 995162 accepts 12-26 AWG wire, while the 1330830000 accepts 12-24 AWG wire. The substitute part has a narrower upper limit. Designs using 25-26 AWG wire require evaluation of the 24 AWG maximum specification.

Q: Does the operating temperature range difference affect substitution?

A: The 995162 operates from -20°C to 100°C, while the 1330830000 operates from -50°C to 120°C. The substitute part provides extended temperature range capability. Applications within the original -20°C to 100°C range experience no thermal performance impact.

Q: What packaging differences exist between these parts?

A: The 995162 is supplied with unspecified packaging, while the 1330830000 is supplied in bulk packaging. Procurement and inventory management processes may require adjustment based on bulk packaging requirements.

Q: Are both parts suitable for new designs?

A: The 1330830000 is the appropriate choice for new designs. The 995162 is obsolete and should not be specified for new applications. The substitute part offers active product status, extended operating range, and improved current rating.
