Molex 0393510013 Terminal Block Plug - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Molex 0393510013 is a 13-position terminal block plug with female sockets, 0.138" (4.60mm) pitch, designed for 180° free-hanging in-line applications. This component features screw-rising cage clamp termination and operates at up to 300V UL with 10A current capacity. The part is classified as obsolete, making identification of compatible substitutes essential for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations where equivalent functionality is required.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Molex 0393510013 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Core Compatibility Parameters:

Number of positions: 13
Pitch: 0.138" (4.60mm)
Type: Plug with female sockets
Plug wire entry orientation: 180°
Termination style: Screw-rising cage clamp
Mounting type: Free hanging (in-line)
Voltage rating: 300V UL minimum
Color: Black

Allowable Variation Parameters:

Current capacity: Substitute must support minimum 10A UL (higher ratings acceptable)
Wire gauge range: Substitute must accommodate 16-24 AWG minimum (extended ranges acceptable)
Operating temperature: Substitute must support minimum 140°C (extended ranges acceptable)
Contact material: Beryllium copper or phosphor bronze acceptable
Housing material: Polyamide (PA46 or PA66) acceptable

The Molex 0395000013 qualifies as a direct substitute based on matching all core compatibility parameters while maintaining or exceeding electrical and thermal specifications.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Molex 0395000013 serves as a direct functional substitute for the obsolete 0393510013 in applications where the following conditions are met:

Electrical Requirements:

Maximum operating current does not exceed 8A UL
Operating voltage remains at or below 300V UL

Thermal Requirements:

Maximum sustained operating temperature does not exceed 115°C

Mechanical Requirements:

13-position, 4.60mm pitch configuration is required
180° free-hanging in-line mounting is required
Screw-rising cage clamp termination is required

Compliance: Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance, supporting regulatory requirements for new designs and legacy system replacements. The substitute part (0395000013) is actively manufactured by Molex, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain stability compared to the obsolete original part.

For applications exceeding 8A current capacity or requiring sustained operation above 115°C, alternative terminal block solutions outside this substitute pair must be evaluated.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 0395000013 replace the 0393510013 in all applications?

A: The 0395000013 is compatible with applications operating at 8A or below and temperatures not exceeding 115°C. The original part supports 10A and 140°C operation. Applications requiring these higher specifications require alternative components.

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

A: The main differences are current rating (10A vs. 8A), maximum operating temperature (140°C vs. 115°C), and contact material (beryllium copper vs. phosphor bronze). All mechanical and electrical interface parameters are identical.

Q: Are both parts mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts feature identical 13-position, 4.60mm pitch configurations with 180° wire entry and screw-rising cage clamp termination. Physical mounting and mating with corresponding receptacles are identical.

Q: Why is the original part obsolete?

A: The 0393510013 is classified as obsolete by Molex. The 0395000013 represents the current active equivalent in the Eurostyle terminal block family.

Q: What wire gauges are supported?

A: The original part supports 16-24 AWG. The substitute supports 16-30 AWG, providing extended compatibility with smaller gauge conductors.

Q: Are there packaging differences?

A: The original part was supplied in unspecified packaging. The substitute is supplied in bulk packaging. Verify packaging requirements for your procurement process.

Q: Do both parts meet RoHS requirements?

A: Yes. Both the 0393510013 and 0395000013 are ROHS3 compliant, meeting current environmental and regulatory standards.
