Weidmüller 995173 Terminal Block - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Weidmüller 995173 is a 24-position wire-to-board terminal block with 0.200" (5.08mm) pitch, designed for horizontal mounting through PCB holes. This component belongs to the Omnimate LP series and features screw-clamping wire termination with side interlocking. 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 in production.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Weidmüller 995173 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Position count and pitch: Must maintain 24 positions at 0.200" (5.08mm) spacing to ensure PCB footprint compatibility
• Mating orientation: Horizontal with board configuration required for mechanical fit
• Mounting method: Through-hole mounting type must be preserved
• Electrical ratings: Current and voltage ratings must meet or exceed 15 A and 300 V respectively
• Wire gauge compatibility: Must accommodate 12-26 AWG wire range minimum
• Interlocking feature: Side interlocking mechanism must be present for mechanical stability
• Compliance: RoHS compliance required for regulatory alignment

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors part 2-1986712-4 meets these substitution criteria across all critical parameters while offering enhanced specifications in current capacity, temperature range, and wire gauge flexibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TE Connectivity 2-1986712-4 is a direct functional equivalent for the obsolete Weidmüller 995173. Both components maintain identical PCB footprints, electrical ratings, and mechanical interfaces. The TE Connectivity part offers the additional advantage of active product status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity.

Both parts are RoHS compliant and suitable for applications requiring 300 V, 15+ A rated terminal blocks with 24-position, 5.08mm pitch configurations. The TE Connectivity substitute provides enhanced operating temperature range (-40°C to 110°C versus -20°C to 100°C) and extended wire gauge accommodation (12-30 AWG versus 12-26 AWG), making it suitable for a broader range of installation scenarios.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TE Connectivity 2-1986712-4 be used as a direct replacement for the Weidmüller 995173?

A: Yes. Both components share identical pitch (5.08mm), position count (24), mating orientation (horizontal with board), mounting type (through-hole), and electrical ratings (300 V, 15+ A). PCB footprints are compatible, and both feature side interlocking mechanisms.

Q: What are the key differences between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are wire termination method (Weidmüller uses screw-clamping; TE Connectivity uses screwless push-button clamp), operating temperature range (TE Connectivity extends to -40°C and 110°C), wire gauge range (TE Connectivity accommodates up to 30 AWG), and product status (TE Connectivity is active; Weidmüller is obsolete).

Q: Are there packaging considerations when switching to the TE Connectivity substitute?

A: The Weidmüller 995173 is supplied in standard packaging, while the TE Connectivity 2-1986712-4 is supplied in bulk packaging. Verify bulk packaging compatibility with your procurement and assembly processes.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both the Weidmüller 995173 and TE Connectivity 2-1986712-4 are RoHS compliant and carry the same ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.90.4000) classifications.

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

A: The Weidmüller uses screw-clamping with tension sleeve termination requiring torque specification (0.5-0.6 Nm). The TE Connectivity uses screwless push-button clamping, eliminating torque requirements and potentially reducing assembly time. Both methods provide equivalent electrical and mechanical performance for the specified wire gauge ranges.
