Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the Molex 0386314213 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Terminal block type (Barrier Block)
• Number of circuits (13)
• Pitch specification (0.438" / 11.12mm)
• Number of rows (1)
• Termination configuration (Screws top, Wire Wrap bottom)
• Barrier configuration (2 Wall / Dual)
• Mounting method (Through Hole)
• Flange feature presence

The substitute part 0386312413 maintains identical specifications across all these parameters, differing only in product status (Active vs. Obsolete) and packaging configuration (Bulk vs. standard packaging).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Molex 0386312413 is the direct equivalent for the obsolete 0386314213. Both components maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications within the Beau 38631 series. The substitute part carries Active product status, ensuring continued availability and manufacturing support. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and MSL Level 1 rating, confirming compatibility in regulated and moisture-sensitive applications. Selection of the active equivalent eliminates obsolescence risk while preserving full functional and dimensional compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 0386312413 be used as a direct replacement for the 0386314213?

A: Yes. Both parts are identical in terminal block type, circuit count, pitch, termination method, barrier configuration, and mounting specification. The substitute differs only in product status (Active vs. Obsolete) and packaging format.

Q: What is the significance of the product status difference?

A: The 0386314213 is classified as obsolete, indicating discontinued manufacturing. The 0386312413 maintains Active status, ensuring ongoing production and supply chain availability.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts carry identical ROHS3 compliance and MSL Level 1 ratings, confirming equivalent regulatory and environmental qualification.

Q: Does packaging format affect electrical or mechanical performance?

A: No. Packaging differences (Bulk vs. standard) do not affect component performance, form factor, or functional characteristics. Selection depends on procurement quantity and inventory management requirements.

Q: What parameters must remain constant for substitution validity?

A: Circuit count (13), pitch (0.438"), termination configuration (Screws/Wire Wrap), barrier type (Dual-wall), and mounting method (Through Hole) are non-negotiable substitution criteria. Deviation in any parameter invalidates equivalence.
