Weidmüller 995165 Terminal Block - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Weidmüller 995165 is a 16-position wire-to-board terminal block with 0.200" (5.08mm) pitch, designed for horizontal mounting with through-hole PCB connection. This component operates at 15 A and 300 V with screw-clamping wire termination. The part is classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives essential for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations where this series is no longer available.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Weidmüller 995165 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 16 positions to ensure PCB footprint compatibility.
• Mating Orientation: Horizontal with board orientation is required for mechanical fit.
• Mounting Type: Through-hole mounting must be preserved for PCB assembly compatibility.
• Electrical Ratings: Current and voltage ratings must meet or exceed the original specification (15 A, 300 V minimum).
• Wire Gauge Compatibility: The substitute must accommodate the wire gauge range of the original part or a compatible subset.
• Interlocking Feature: Side interlocking is maintained across substitute options for mechanical stability.

The Weidmüller 1330870000 qualifies as a substitute based on these parameters. While it introduces improvements in current capacity, temperature range, and termination method, the core mechanical and electrical compatibility requirements are satisfied.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Weidmüller 1330870000 is the designated substitute for the obsolete 995165 terminal block. Selection of this alternative is supported by the following factors:

• Product Status: The 1330870000 is active and currently manufactured, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity.
• Regulatory Compliance: The substitute is RoHS Compliant, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements that the original part does not address.
• Electrical Performance: The 1330870000 exceeds the original electrical specifications with 20 A current capacity versus 15 A, providing design margin for existing applications.
• Mechanical Compatibility: Identical pitch, position count, and mounting orientation ensure direct PCB footprint compatibility without layout modifications.
• Temperature Range: The extended operating temperature range (-50°C ~ 120°C) provides broader environmental applicability compared to the original (-20°C ~ 100°C).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1330870000 be used as a direct replacement for the 995165 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical pitch (0.200" / 5.08mm), position count (16), mating orientation (horizontal with board), and mounting type (through-hole). PCB footprints are compatible without modification.

Q: What is the difference in wire termination between these parts?

A: The 995165 uses screw-clamping termination (Clamping Yoke, Tension Sleeve), while the 1330870000 uses screwless push-in spring termination. Both methods provide secure wire connection; the substitute eliminates the need for torque-controlled screw assembly.

Q: Does the wire gauge difference affect compatibility?

A: The 995165 accepts 12-26 AWG wire, while the 1330870000 accepts 12-24 AWG. The substitute supports the upper portion of the original range. Applications using 25-26 AWG wire require verification of compatibility with the substitute's 12-24 AWG specification.

Q: Is the 1330870000 suitable for applications requiring the original operating temperature range?

A: Yes. The 1330870000 operating range (-50°C ~ 120°C) encompasses the original range (-20°C ~ 100°C), providing full compatibility for temperature-dependent applications.

Q: What packaging is available for the 1330870000?

A: The 1330870000 is supplied in bulk packaging, differing from the original part's packaging specification. Verify packaging requirements for your procurement and assembly processes.

Q: Are both parts REACH compliant?

A: Yes. Both the 995165 and 1330870000 are listed as REACH Unaffected, indicating compliance with REACH regulatory requirements.
