Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Molex 0387245214 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Terminal block type (Barrier Block)
• Number of circuits (14)
• Pitch specification (0.375" / 9.53mm)
• Current rating (15A minimum)
• Voltage rating (300V minimum)
• Wire gauge compatibility (14-22 AWG)
• Termination configuration (Screw top, PC pin bottom)
• Barrier configuration (3 Wall Tri)
• Operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 100°C)
• Regulatory compliance (ROHS3)

The substitute part 0387244014 meets all these criteria and belongs to the same Beau 38724 series, ensuring mechanical and electrical compatibility with the original specification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Molex 0387244014 is the direct substitute for the obsolete 0387245214. Both components maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters. The primary distinction is product status: the 0387244014 is currently active in Molex's product line, while the 0387245214 is obsolete.

Both parts carry ROHS3 compliance certification and are suitable for applications requiring 14-circuit barrier block connectors with 0.375" pitch, 15A current capacity, and 300V voltage rating. The substitute part is available in bulk packaging and maintains full compatibility with existing PCB layouts and assembly processes designed for the original part number.
