Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The Molex 0395011002 qualifies as a direct substitute based on the following critical parameters:

• Electrical Compatibility: Both parts maintain 300V UL voltage rating and solder termination style
• Mechanical Compatibility: Identical 2-position configuration, 4.6mm pitch, vertical orientation, and through-hole mounting
• Connector Type: Both feature male pins with 4-side shrouded design
• Contact Material: Brass contacts in both parts ensure equivalent electrical performance
• Regulatory Compliance: Both are ROHS3 compliant

The substitute part (0395011002) is classified as active product status, providing long-term availability compared to the obsolete main part. The housing material differs (PA66 vs PA46) and operating temperature range is specified for the substitute, representing design improvements in the Eurostyle ESE 39501 series.

• Mechanical Fit: Identical pitch, orientation, and mounting configuration ensure direct PCB compatibility
• Material Specification: Housing material upgrade from PA46 to PA66 in the substitute part reflects design evolution within the Eurostyle series

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 0395011002 substitute directly replace the 0393530002 on existing PCBs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical pitch (4.6mm), vertical orientation, through-hole mounting, and 2-position configuration. PCB footprints are compatible.

Q: What is the current rating difference between these parts?

A: The main part (0393530002) is rated at 10A UL, while the substitute (0395011002) is rated at 8A UL. Both operate at 300V UL. Applications requiring current below 8A are fully compatible.

Q: Are there packaging differences?

A: The main part packaging is listed as unspecified, while the substitute is supplied in bulk packaging. This affects procurement and handling but not electrical or mechanical performance.

Q: Do both parts meet RoHS requirements?

A: Yes, both are ROHS3 compliant. The substitute carries REACH Affected status while the main part is REACH Unaffected.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for each part?

A: The main part specifies a maximum operating temperature of 140°C. The substitute specifies -40°C to 105°C operating range, representing a defined temperature specification for the newer design.

Q: Are the contact materials identical?

A: Yes, both parts use brass contacts with tin mating finish, ensuring equivalent electrical conductivity and connection reliability.
