Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Weidmüller 1769160000 is the direct substitute for obsolete part 997231. Both components share identical mechanical dimensions, pitch, position count, and mounting configuration. The substitute part maintains RoHS and REACH compliance status, ensuring regulatory continuity. The active product status of 1769160000 provides supply chain stability and ongoing manufacturer support, addressing the obsolescence of the original part. Selection of the substitute part is appropriate for new designs and replacement applications requiring equivalent terminal block functionality.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can Weidmüller 1769160000 be used as a direct replacement for 997231?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical mechanical and electrical interface specifications: 10 positions per level, 2 levels, 5.08mm pitch, horizontal board mating orientation, and through-hole mounting. The substitute part is fully compatible with existing PCB layouts and connector designs.

Q: What is the difference between the two parts?

A: The primary difference is product status. Part 997231 is obsolete, while 1769160000 is active. The substitute includes enhanced wire termination features (Clamping Yoke and Tension Sleeve) and specified electrical ratings (10 A at 300 V, 12-24 AWG wire gauge, -20°C to 100°C operating temperature). These enhancements do not affect mechanical compatibility.

Q: Are there packaging differences?

A: Part 997231 packaging is not specified in available data. Part 1769160000 is supplied in bulk packaging. Confirm packaging requirements with your procurement department.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both 997231 and 1769160000 are RoHS Compliant, REACH Unaffected, and classified under ECCN EAR99 and HTSUS 8536.90.4000.

Q: What wire gauges are compatible with the substitute part?

A: The 1769160000 accepts 12-24 AWG wire. Verify wire gauge compatibility with your application requirements.
