Weidmüller 997704 Terminal Block - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Weidmüller 997704 is a 23-position wire-to-board terminal block with 0.200" (5.08mm) pitch, horizontal mating orientation, and through-hole mounting. This component belongs to the Omnimate LP series and is classified as obsolete. Due to its obsolete status, identifying equivalent substitute parts from the active product line is essential for ongoing system maintenance, repairs, and new designs requiring compatible functionality.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Weidmüller 997704 is based on the following critical parameters that must remain consistent:

• Position Count & Level Configuration: 23 positions across 2 levels
• Pitch Specification: 0.200" (5.08mm) center-to-center spacing
• Mating Orientation: Horizontal with board alignment
• Mounting Method: Through-hole PCB mounting
• Electrical Interface: Wire-to-board connection

The substitute part Weidmüller 1769060000 maintains all these core parameters while transitioning from the obsolete Omnimate LP series to the active Omnimate LM series. Both parts share identical mechanical footprints and functional specifications, enabling direct substitution in existing designs.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Weidmüller 1769060000 (Omnimate LM series) is the direct substitute for the obsolete 997704 (Omnimate LP series). Selection is based on the following factors:

• Mechanical Compatibility: Identical pitch, position count, level configuration, and through-hole mounting ensure direct PCB footprint compatibility.
• Product Status: The 1769060000 is active and currently manufactured, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity.
• Regulatory Compliance: Both parts maintain RoHS compliance and REACH unaffected status, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements.
• Electrical Specifications: The 1769060000 provides documented electrical ratings (15 A, 300 V) and operating temperature range (-50°C ~ 120°C), offering enhanced specification transparency compared to the obsolete part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Weidmüller 1769060000 be used as a direct replacement for the 997704 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical mechanical specifications: 23 positions, 2 levels, 0.200" (5.08mm) pitch, horizontal mating orientation, and through-hole mounting. The PCB footprint is compatible, enabling direct substitution without layout modifications.

Q: What are the key differences between the Omnimate LP (997704) and Omnimate LM (1769060000) series?

A: The primary difference is product status: the LP series is obsolete, while the LM series is active. The LM series provides documented electrical ratings (15 A, 300 V), operating temperature range (-50°C ~ 120°C), and detailed material specifications (Thermoplastic Wemid housing, tin-plated copper alloy contacts) that are not specified for the LP series.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 997704 packaging is not specified in available documentation. The 1769060000 is supplied in bulk packaging. Confirm packaging requirements with your procurement process.

Q: Do both parts meet current compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both the 997704 and 1769060000 are RoHS compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental regulations.

Q: What wire gauge and termination method does the 1769060000 support?

A: The 1769060000 accepts 14-24 AWG wire with screw-clamping yoke and tension sleeve termination. Screw torque specification is 0.4-0.5 Nm (4.6-4.4 Lb-In) using M2.5 threads.
