Weidmüller 995164 Terminal Block - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Weidmüller 995164 is a 15-position wire-to-board terminal block with 0.200" (5.08mm) pitch, designed for horizontal mounting with through-hole PCB connection. This component belongs to the Omnimate LP series and is classified as obsolete. Due to its obsolete status, identifying compatible substitute parts is essential for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations where equivalent functionality is required.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution compatibility for the Weidmüller 995164 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Pitch and Position Count: Both the main part and substitute must maintain 0.200" (5.08mm) pitch with 15 positions per level to ensure PCB footprint compatibility
• Mating Orientation and Mounting: Horizontal with board orientation and through-hole mounting are mandatory for mechanical fit
• Voltage Rating: Minimum 300 V rating required for electrical equivalence
• Interlocking Feature: Side interlocking design must be preserved for mechanical stability
• Contact Material and Plating: Copper alloy with tin plating ensures consistent electrical performance

The Weidmüller 1330850000 qualifies as a substitute based on these core parameters. While differences exist in current rating, wire gauge range, wire termination method, and operating temperature, these variations represent functional enhancements rather than incompatibilities. The substitute maintains all critical mechanical and electrical parameters necessary for direct replacement.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Weidmüller 1330850000 is the active production equivalent for the obsolete 995164 model. Selection between these parts should be based on the following criteria:

Use 995164 only if: Existing inventory is available and the application does not require RoHS compliance or extended operating temperature range.

Use 1330850000 for: New designs, system upgrades, or applications requiring RoHS compliance. The active product status ensures long-term availability and supply chain continuity. The enhanced current rating (20 A vs. 15 A) and extended operating temperature range (-50°C to 120°C vs. -20°C to 100°C) provide additional design margin for demanding applications.

Both parts maintain identical pitch, position count, mating orientation, and mounting configuration, ensuring direct PCB footprint compatibility. The transition from screw-based termination to screwless push-in spring termination in the substitute represents a design modernization that simplifies assembly without compromising electrical performance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1330850000 directly replace the 995164 on existing PCBs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical pitch (0.200"/5.08mm), position count (15), mating orientation (horizontal with board), and through-hole mounting configuration. PCB footprints are compatible.

Q: What is the primary reason for substitution?

A: The 995164 is classified as obsolete. The 1330850000 is the active production equivalent from Weidmüller, ensuring availability and supply chain reliability.

Q: Are there differences in wire gauge compatibility?

A: The 995164 accepts 12-26 AWG wire, while the 1330850000 accepts 12-24 AWG. For applications using 25-26 AWG wire, the original part may be required if existing inventory is available.

Q: How does the change from screw termination to push-in spring termination affect installation?

A: The 1330850000 uses screwless push-in spring termination, which simplifies assembly and reduces installation time compared to the screw-clamping method of the 995164. Both methods provide equivalent electrical and mechanical performance.

Q: Is the 1330850000 RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The 1330850000 is RoHS compliant, while the 995164 has not applicable RoHS status. For applications subject to RoHS requirements, the 1330850000 is the appropriate selection.

Q: What is the operating temperature difference?

A: The 995164 operates from -20°C to 100°C, while the 1330850000 operates from -50°C to 120°C. The substitute provides a wider temperature range suitable for more demanding thermal environments.

Q: Are both parts rated for 300 V?

A: Yes. Both the 995164 and 1330850000 are rated for 300 V operation.

Q: What is the current rating difference?

A: The 995164 is rated for 15 A, while the 1330850000 is rated for 20 A. The substitute provides higher current capacity for applications requiring increased power handling.
