Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Weidmüller 997245 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Positions and Levels: 24 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
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS Compliant status

The substitute part Weidmüller 1769070000 satisfies all core substitution criteria. Both components share identical positional configuration, pitch spacing, mating orientation, and mounting methodology. The 1769070000 maintains RoHS compliance and operates within compatible electrical and mechanical parameters for direct functional replacement.

Parameter Comparison

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1769070000 be used as a direct replacement for the 997245?

A: Yes. Both components share identical positional configuration (24 positions, 2 levels), pitch spacing (0.200"/5.08mm), mating orientation (horizontal with board), and mounting methodology (through-hole). The 1769070000 is the active equivalent within Weidmüller's product line.

Q: What are the key differences between these parts?

A: The 1769070000 provides specified electrical ratings (15 A, 300 V), operating temperature range (-50°C to 120°C), and detailed material specifications (thermoplastic housing, tin-plated copper contacts). The 997245 specifications for these parameters were not provided in the original documentation. The 1769070000 features enhanced wire termination with clamping yoke and tension sleeve technology.

Q: Are there packaging considerations for substitution?

A: The 997245 was supplied in standard packaging. The 1769070000 is available in bulk packaging. Verify that bulk packaging meets procurement and handling requirements for your application.

Q: Do both parts meet the same regulatory standards?

A: Yes. Both the 997245 and 1769070000 are RoHS Compliant and REACH Unaffected, satisfying equivalent regulatory requirements for industrial component applications.

Q: What is the significance of the color difference?

A: The 997245 is black; the 1769070000 is orange. Color distinction does not affect electrical or mechanical function and is typically used for visual identification within product series differentiation.
