Molex 0386311213 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Molex 0386311213 is a 13-circuit barrier block connector with 0.438" (11.12mm) pitch, featuring screw termination on top and solder turret termination on bottom. This component is classified as obsolete, making identification of suitable substitutes essential for ongoing system support and component procurement.

The barrier block design with dual-wall configuration and flange mounting provides reliable electrical isolation and mechanical stability in chassis and panel mounting applications. As an obsolete product, sourcing alternatives ensures design continuity and supply chain reliability.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Molex 0386311213 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Terminal block type: Barrier block configuration
• Circuit count: 13 circuits
• Pitch specification: 0.438" (11.12mm)
• Row configuration: Single row
• Termination method: Screw top, solder turret bottom
• Barrier isolation: Dual-wall (2 wall) design
• Mounting capability: Chassis and panel mounting
• Flange presence: Required

The substitute part Molex 0386309413 meets all these criteria, differing only in series designation (Beau 38630 vs. Beau 38631) and material specifications that do not affect functional compatibility. The substitute maintains identical electrical and mechanical interfaces while offering active product status and improved material documentation.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Molex 0386309413 is the direct functional equivalent for the obsolete Molex 0386311213. Both components maintain identical electrical and mechanical interface specifications, ensuring drop-in compatibility in existing designs.

Selection of the 0386309413 is supported by:

• Active product status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity
• ROHS3 compliance matching the original part specification
• Identical MSL rating (1 - Unlimited) for storage and handling
• Documented material specifications (PBT/Polyester insulation, steel screws with zinc chromate finish) providing enhanced traceability
• Equivalent mechanical mounting and termination interfaces

For applications currently using the 0386311213, transition to the 0386309413 requires no design modification and presents no functional risk.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Molex 0386309413 be used as a direct replacement for the 0386311213?

A: Yes. Both components share identical specifications for circuit count (13), pitch (0.438"), termination methods (screw top, solder turret bottom), barrier configuration (dual-wall), and mounting capability (chassis/panel). The 0386309413 is the active equivalent.

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

A: The 0386311213 is obsolete, while the 0386309413 is active. The substitute includes documented material specifications (PBT/Polyester insulation, steel screws with zinc chromate finish) not provided for the original part. Functionally and mechanically, they are equivalent.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences?

A: Both parts carry ROHS3 compliance and identical MSL ratings (1 - Unlimited). No compliance barriers exist for substitution.

Q: Does the packaging format affect compatibility?

A: Packaging format (bulk for the substitute) does not affect component functionality or mechanical fit. Packaging is a procurement consideration only.

Q: What mounting configurations are supported?

A: Both the original and substitute support chassis and panel mounting through the integrated flange feature.
