Weidmüller 995169 Terminal Block: Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Weidmüller 995169 is a 20-position wire-to-board terminal block with 0.200" (5.08mm) pitch, designed for horizontal mounting with through-hole PCB installation. This component operates at 15 A and 300 V, featuring screw-clamping wire termination with side interlocking. The 995169 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 995169 is determined by the following critical parameters that must remain consistent or be enhanced:

• Pitch and Position Count: Both main and substitute parts maintain 0.200" (5.08mm) pitch with 20 positions, ensuring PCB footprint compatibility
• Mounting Configuration: Through-hole horizontal mounting with board orientation is preserved across all alternatives
• Electrical Ratings: Substitute parts must meet or exceed the 300 V voltage requirement; current rating may be equal or higher
• Wire Gauge Compatibility: Acceptable wire gauge ranges must overlap or encompass the original 12-26 AWG specification
• Interlocking Feature: Side interlocking is maintained for mechanical stability and connector alignment
• Contact Material: Copper alloy with tin plating is consistent across all parts

The Weidmüller 1330910000 qualifies as a direct substitute based on these parameters, with enhancements in current capacity, temperature range, and termination technology.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Weidmüller 1330910000 is the qualified substitute for the obsolete 995169. Selection should be based on the following factors:

Product Status: The 1330910000 is active and currently manufactured, providing supply continuity and long-term availability compared to the obsolete 995169.

Compliance: The 1330910000 is RoHS Compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited), meeting modern regulatory requirements. Both parts are REACH Unaffected and classified as EAR99.

Electrical Enhancement: The 1330910000 provides 20 A current capacity versus the original 15 A, offering improved margin for applications operating near the original specification limit.

Temperature Range: The extended operating range of -50°C ~ 120°C accommodates broader environmental conditions compared to the -20°C ~ 100°C of the 995169.

Termination Technology: The 1330910000 employs screwless push-in spring termination, eliminating torque specification requirements and reducing assembly time compared to screw-clamping termination.

Wire Gauge Consideration: The 1330910000 accepts 12-24 AWG wire. Applications requiring 26 AWG wire must verify compatibility or retain the original 995169 if available from inventory.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1330910000 directly replace the 995169 in existing PCB designs?

A: Yes, for applications using wire gauges 12-24 AWG. Both parts share identical pitch (0.200"), position count (20), mounting type (through-hole), and mating orientation (horizontal with board). PCB footprints are compatible. Applications requiring 26 AWG wire support must evaluate the narrower gauge range of the 1330910000.

Q: What are the key differences between these two terminal blocks?

A: The primary differences are: (1) termination method—995169 uses screw-clamping; 1330910000 uses screwless push-in; (2) current rating—1330910000 is rated 20 A versus 15 A; (3) operating temperature—1330910000 extends to -50°C and 120°C; (4) product status—1330910000 is active while 995169 is obsolete; (5) RoHS compliance—1330910000 is compliant.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 995169 is listed with no specified packaging, while the 1330910000 is supplied in bulk packaging. Verify packaging requirements with your procurement process.

Q: Does the screwless termination of the 1330910000 affect reliability compared to screw-clamping?

A: Both termination methods are valid for their respective designs. The 1330910000 uses leg spring and push-in spring technology, which is a different approach than screw-clamping but does not indicate reduced reliability. Selection depends on assembly process compatibility and application requirements.

Q: What is the MSL rating and why does it matter?

A: The 1330910000 has MSL 1 (Unlimited), meaning it has no moisture sensitivity restrictions and requires no special storage or handling. The 995169 lists MSL as Not Applicable. This simplifies supply chain management for the 1330910000.
