Weidmüller 997241 Terminal Block: Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Weidmüller 997241 is a 20-position wire-to-board terminal block with horizontal mating orientation and 5.08mm pitch, designed for through-hole PCB mounting with screw wire termination. This component is classified as obsolete, making identification of active equivalent parts essential for ongoing production and maintenance applications. Substitute parts must maintain identical mechanical and electrical interface specifications to ensure direct compatibility in existing circuit designs.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Weidmüller 997241 is determined by strict equivalence in the following critical parameters:

  • Positions and Levels: 20 positions per level, 2 levels total
  • Pitch: 0.200" (5.08mm) spacing
  • Mating Orientation: Horizontal with board configuration
  • Mounting Type: Through-hole PCB mounting
  • Wire Termination Method: Screw-based clamping

The substitute part Weidmüller 1769030000 satisfies all these core mechanical and interface requirements. Both parts are manufactured by Weidmüller and share identical pitch, position count, orientation, and mounting specifications. The substitute is an active product from the Omnimate LM series, providing continuity for applications currently using the obsolete 997241.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Weidmüller 1769030000 is the direct substitute for the obsolete 997241. Both components are RoHS compliant and manufactured by Weidmüller with identical mechanical interfaces. The substitute part is currently in active production status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity.

Selection of the 1769030000 is appropriate for applications requiring the 20-position, 5.08mm pitch, through-hole terminal block configuration. The substitute provides additional electrical specifications (15 A current, 300 V voltage) and extended operating temperature range (-50°C to 120°C) compared to the main part, offering enhanced performance margins for most industrial applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1769030000 be used as a direct replacement for the 997241?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical pitch (5.08mm), position count (20 per level), number of levels (2), mating orientation (horizontal with board), mounting type (through-hole), and wire termination method (screw). The mechanical and electrical interfaces are fully compatible.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two parts?

A: The 997241 is obsolete, while the 1769030000 is an active product from the Omnimate LM series. The substitute provides documented electrical ratings (15 A, 300 V), specified wire gauge compatibility (14-24 AWG), and operating temperature range (-50°C to 120°C). The 997241 specifications for these parameters were not provided.

Q: Are there packaging differences?

A: The 997241 packaging type is not specified. The 1769030000 is supplied in bulk packaging. Confirm packaging requirements with your procurement department.

Q: Do both parts meet RoHS compliance?

A: Yes. Both the 997241 and 1769030000 are RoHS compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental regulations.

Q: Is the color difference between black (997241) and orange (1769030000) significant?

A: Color is a visual identifier only and does not affect electrical or mechanical function. The orange color of the 1769030000 is standard for the Omnimate LM series.
