Weidmüller 995284 Terminal Block - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Weidmüller 995284 is a 4-position wire-to-board terminal block with 7.5mm pitch, designed for horizontal mounting through PCB holes. This component features screw-clamping wire termination and is rated for 15A at 300V, supporting wire gauges from 12-26 AWG. 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.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Weidmüller 995284 is determined by strict equivalence in the following critical parameters:

Positions and Pitch: Both main and substitute parts must maintain 4 positions at 0.295" (7.50mm) pitch 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: Voltage rating of 300V is mandatory; current rating of 15A establishes the minimum acceptable threshold
Wire Termination Method: Screw-based termination is required for functional compatibility
Screw Thread: M3 thread specification ensures tool and torque compatibility

The Amphenol Anytek VI0441520000G satisfies these substitution criteria while offering enhanced electrical performance and extended operating temperature range.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Amphenol Anytek VI0441520000G is a direct substitute for the obsolete Weidmüller 995284. Selection is supported by the following factors:

Product Status: The substitute part is classified as active, ensuring continued availability and supply chain stability
Compliance: The VI0441520000G is ROHS3 compliant, meeting current regulatory requirements. Both parts are REACH unaffected and carry EAR99 ECCN classification
Electrical Performance: The substitute meets or exceeds all electrical specifications, with 16A current capacity versus the original 15A requirement and extended wire gauge support to 28 AWG
Thermal Performance: Extended operating temperature range (-40°C to 115°C) provides broader application flexibility compared to the original -20°C to 100°C range
Mechanical Compatibility: Identical pitch, position count, and through-hole mounting ensure direct PCB footprint compatibility

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Amphenol Anytek VI0441520000G be used as a direct replacement in existing designs using the Weidmüller 995284?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical pitch (7.50mm), position count (4), mating orientation (horizontal with board), and through-hole mounting specifications. PCB footprints are compatible without modification.

Q: Are there differences in wire termination between these parts?

A: Both parts use screw-based termination. The Weidmüller 995284 employs a clamping yoke with tension sleeve, while the Amphenol Anytek VI0441520000G uses a rising cage clamp design. Both methods provide secure screw-terminated wire connections with M3 thread specifications.

Q: What is the significance of the extended wire gauge range in the substitute part?

A: The VI0441520000G accepts wire gauges from 12-28 AWG, compared to the original 12-26 AWG specification. This provides additional flexibility for applications requiring 27-28 AWG wire, though the original 12-26 AWG range remains fully supported.

Q: Does the substitute part meet current regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. The Amphenol Anytek VI0441520000G is ROHS3 compliant. The original Weidmüller 995284 carries "Not applicable" RoHS status due to its obsolete classification. Both parts are REACH unaffected.

Q: What is the packaging difference between these parts?

A: The Weidmüller 995284 is listed with no specified packaging designation. The Amphenol Anytek VI0441520000G is supplied in bulk packaging. Confirm packaging requirements with your procurement process.

Q: Are there torque specification differences for screw installation?

A: Yes. The Weidmüller 995284 specifies 0.5-0.6 Nm (4.4-5.3 Lb-In) torque, while the Amphenol Anytek VI0441520000G specifies 0.4 Nm (4.6 Lb-In). Both values fall within standard M3 screw installation ranges and should not impact assembly procedures.
