Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Molex 0393530013 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Position Count & Pitch: 13 positions at 0.138" (4.60mm) spacing
• Connector Type: Header with male pins, shrouded (4-side) design
• Orientation & Mounting: Vertical through-hole solder termination
• Electrical Ratings: 300V UL voltage rating and current capacity
• Physical Dimensions: Contact tail length, insulation height, and overall form factor

The substitute part Molex 0395011013 maintains compatibility across all critical mechanical and electrical parameters. Both components share identical position count, pitch, shrouded header configuration, vertical orientation, and solder termination method. The substitute belongs to the Eurostyle ESE 39501 series and is classified as active product status, providing long-term availability and supply chain continuity.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Molex 0395011013 serves as the direct substitute for the obsolete 0393530013. Both components maintain identical mechanical compatibility and core electrical specifications at 300V UL rating. The substitute is classified as active product status, ensuring reliable supply chain availability and manufacturing continuity.

Key considerations for selection:

Current Rating Differential: The substitute operates at 8A UL versus the original 10A UL. Applications requiring the full 10A capacity must evaluate whether the 8A rating meets circuit requirements.

Operating Temperature Range: The original part specifies 140°C maximum, while the substitute operates within -40°C to 105°C. Designs operating above 105°C require thermal analysis to confirm suitability.

Compliance Status: The substitute achieves ROHS3 compliance, whereas the original is RoHS non-compliant. New designs and regulated applications benefit from the substitute's compliance certification.

Housing Material: The substitute uses Polyamide (PA66) Nylon 6/6 versus the original Polyamide (PA46) Nylon 4/6. Both materials provide equivalent mechanical performance for standard industrial applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 0395011013 directly replace the 0393530013 in existing designs?

A: Mechanical and electrical compatibility is confirmed across all critical parameters including position count, pitch, connector type, orientation, and 300V UL voltage rating. The 8A current rating of the substitute must be verified against circuit requirements if the original 10A capacity is essential.

Q: What is the impact of the operating temperature range difference?

A: The original part supports continuous operation to 140°C, while the substitute operates within -40°C to 105°C. Applications with ambient temperatures or component heating above 105°C require thermal validation to confirm the substitute's suitability.

Q: Does the housing material change affect mechanical fit or performance?

A: Both Polyamide (PA46) and Polyamide (PA66) materials provide equivalent mechanical properties for standard industrial terminal block applications. The change from PA46 to PA66 does not affect PCB mounting, shroud integrity, or contact retention.

Q: Why is RoHS compliance important for this substitution?

A: The substitute achieves ROHS3 compliance while the original is non-compliant. Designs subject to environmental regulations, export restrictions, or customer compliance requirements benefit from the substitute's certification status.

Q: Are there packaging differences between the two parts?

A: The original part is listed with no specified packaging, while the substitute is supplied in bulk packaging. Verify packaging requirements with your procurement process to confirm compatibility with assembly operations.

Q: What is the contact tail length difference between these parts?

A: The original specifies 0.134" (3.40mm) contact tail length, while the substitute measures 0.140" (4.66mm). This minor dimensional variation remains within standard PCB hole tolerance and does not affect solder joint quality or mechanical retention.
