DP25-OR Terminal Block Connector Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The DP25-OR is a 2-position feed-through terminal block connector manufactured by Eaton - Bussmann Electrical Division, part of the Magnum® DP series. This component is designed for screw termination of conductors in the 12-22 AWG range with a rated current of 24 A (IEC) and voltage of 630 V (IEC). The product is currently obsolete, making identification of compatible substitute parts essential for system maintenance and component sourcing.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the DP25-OR is determined by the following critical parameters that must be maintained or exceeded:

• Electrical Performance: Current rating (minimum 24 A IEC), voltage rating (minimum 630 V IEC), and UL/IEC compliance
• Physical Configuration: 2-position, 1-level feed-through design with 5.1 mm terminal width
• Termination Method: Screw termination for conductor attachment
• Wire Compatibility: Support for 12-22 AWG conductors (0.5-25 mm²)
• Environmental & Compliance: UL94 V-0 flammability rating and RoHS compliance
• Color Coding: Orange insulation for visual identification

The Weidmüller 1020060000 qualifies as a substitute based on matching or exceeding these parameters across electrical ratings, physical dimensions, termination method, and compliance certifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Weidmüller 1020060000 is a direct substitute for the obsolete DP25-OR based on the following engineering criteria:

Electrical Equivalence: Both components maintain identical current ratings (24 A IEC, 25 A UL) and equivalent voltage ratings (630 V IEC for DP25-OR versus 800 V IEC for 1020060000, representing an increase in voltage capability). UL voltage ratings are identical at 600 V.

Physical & Functional Compatibility: Both terminal blocks feature identical 2-position, 1-level feed-through configurations with 5.1 mm terminal width and screw termination. Orange color coding is consistent across both parts.

Compliance & Certification: Both components carry UL94 V-0 flammability ratings and RoHS compliance, meeting equivalent environmental and safety standards.

Product Availability: The 1020060000 maintains active product status with current manufacturing support, addressing the obsolescence of the DP25-OR.

Wire Gauge Consideration: The Weidmüller part supports 12-30 AWG (0.5-4 mm²) compared to the DP25-OR's 12-22 AWG (0.5-25 mm²). For applications using conductors within the 12-22 AWG range, the Weidmüller substitute is fully compatible. Applications requiring conductors larger than 22 AWG should retain the original specification or consult alternative options.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Weidmüller 1020060000 directly replace the Eaton DP25-OR in existing installations?

A: Yes, for applications using wire gauges between 12-22 AWG. Both components share identical electrical ratings (24 A IEC, 25 A UL), physical dimensions (5.1 mm terminal width, 2-position configuration), and termination method (screw). The Weidmüller part exceeds the voltage rating (800 V IEC versus 630 V IEC) and maintains equivalent UL compliance.

Q: What is the wire gauge limitation when substituting with the 1020060000?

A: The Weidmüller 1020060000 is rated for 12-30 AWG (0.5-4 mm²), while the original DP25-OR supports 12-22 AWG (0.5-25 mm²). The substitute is fully compatible for wire sizes within the 12-22 AWG range. Applications requiring larger conductors (larger than 22 AWG) should not use this substitute.

Q: Are both components RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the DP25-OR and 1020060000 are RoHS compliant and carry UL94 V-0 flammability ratings, meeting equivalent environmental and safety standards.

Q: What is the difference in stripping length between these components?

A: The DP25-OR specifies a 12 mm stripping length, while the Weidmüller 1020060000 specifies 10 mm. This difference is within normal manufacturing tolerances for screw-terminal blocks and does not affect functional compatibility.

Q: Why is the DP25-OR obsolete?

A: The DP25-OR is listed as obsolete by the manufacturer. The Weidmüller 1020060000 is an active product with current manufacturing support, making it the recommended substitute for new designs and component replacement.
