Weidmüller 995215 Terminal Block: Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Weidmüller 995215 is a 24-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, accommodating wire gauges from 12-26 AWG with screw-clamping termination. The product 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.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The On Shore Technology Inc. OSTVT242180 qualifies as a functional substitute for the Weidmüller 995215 based on the following critical parameters:

Position Count & Pitch: Both parts feature 24 positions at 0.200" (5.08mm) pitch, ensuring identical PCB footprint compatibility
Electrical Ratings: Both rated at 15 A and 300 V, meeting the same power delivery requirements
Mounting Configuration: Both are through-hole mounted terminal blocks with horizontal board orientation
Screw Interface: Both use M3 screw threads for wire termination
Interlocking Feature: Both incorporate side interlocking for mechanical stability

Differences in wire gauge range (12-28 AWG vs. 12-26 AWG), wire termination mechanism (rising cage clamp vs. clamping yoke), and operating temperature range do not prevent substitution when the application requirements fall within the overlapping specifications.

Product Status: The OSTVT242180 maintains active production status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity
Regulatory Compliance: The OSTVT242180 is ROHS3 compliant, meeting current environmental and material restriction standards
Electrical Equivalence: Both parts share identical current (15 A) and voltage (300 V) ratings, with overlapping wire gauge specifications
Physical Compatibility: Matching pitch (5.08mm), position count (24), and through-hole mounting ensure direct PCB footprint compatibility
Operational Range: The OSTVT242180 provides an extended operating temperature range (-30°C ~ 105°C) compared to the original part (-20°C ~ 100°C)

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the On Shore OSTVT242180 be used as a direct replacement for the Weidmüller 995215?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical PCB footprint dimensions (24 positions at 5.08mm pitch), electrical ratings (15 A, 300 V), and M3 screw termination. The OSTVT242180 is mechanically and electrically compatible for through-hole mounting applications.

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

A: The Weidmüller 995215 uses a clamping yoke with tension sleeve mechanism, while the On Shore OSTVT242180 uses a rising cage clamp. Both are screw-based termination systems rated for M3 threads and accommodate the overlapping wire gauge range (12-26 AWG).

Q: Does the wire gauge difference affect substitution?

A: The OSTVT242180 accepts 12-28 AWG wire, while the 995215 accepts 12-26 AWG. Applications using wire gauges within the 12-26 AWG range are fully compatible with both parts. The OSTVT242180 provides additional flexibility for 27-28 AWG applications.

Q: Are there compliance differences between these parts?

A: The Weidmüller 995215 has RoHS status listed as not applicable. The On Shore OSTVT242180 is ROHS3 compliant, meeting current environmental standards. Both parts are REACH unaffected and classified as EAR99 for export control purposes.

Q: What is the operating temperature consideration?

A: The OSTVT242180 operates across -30°C ~ 105°C, providing a wider temperature range than the 995215 (-20°C ~ 100°C). Applications within the original temperature range are fully supported by the substitute part.
