Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Molex 0395056014 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Position Count & Pitch: 14 positions at 0.138" (4.60mm) spacing
• Connector Type & Orientation: Male pin header, shrouded (4-side), vertical through-hole
• Electrical Ratings: Minimum 8 A current capacity and 300 V voltage rating (UL standard)
• Termination Method: Solder-based PCB attachment
• Compliance & Safety: UL94 V-0 flammability rating, ROHS3 compliance, MSL 1 rating
• Contact Finish: Tin plating for mating surfaces

The Phoenix Contact 1843347 meets all substitution criteria. Both parts share identical position count, pitch, orientation, mounting method, and electrical performance specifications. Both maintain UL94 V-0 flammability compliance and ROHS3 certification. Mechanical compatibility is confirmed through matching contact tail length (0.138" / 4.60mm) and equivalent shrouded header design.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the Molex 0395056014 and Phoenix Contact 1843347 are active production components with equivalent electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on:

• Supply Availability: Molex 0395056014 has 864 units in stock; Phoenix Contact 1843347 has 1118 units in stock
• Regulatory Compliance: Both parts meet ROHS3 requirements and UL94 V-0 flammability standards, suitable for industrial and safety-critical applications
• Certification Alignment: Both parts carry identical UL voltage and current ratings (300 V, 8 A), ensuring direct functional equivalence in circuit design
• Housing Material Difference: Molex uses Polyamide (PA66), while Phoenix Contact uses Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT). Both materials meet UL94 V-0 requirements; material selection may depend on thermal or chemical environment specifications in the application

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Phoenix Contact 1843347 be used as a direct replacement for the Molex 0395056014 on existing PCBs?

A: Yes. Both parts have identical pitch (4.60mm), contact tail length (0.138"), and through-hole solder termination. PCB footprints are mechanically and electrically compatible.

Q: Are there differences in electrical performance between these two parts?

A: No. Both parts are rated for 8 A (UL) and 300 V (UL). The Phoenix Contact part also carries an 8 A IEC rating and 250 V IEC rating, providing additional international certification coverage.

Q: What is the significance of the housing material difference?

A: Molex uses PA66 (Polyamide); Phoenix Contact uses PBT (Polybutylene Terephthalate). Both materials achieve UL94 V-0 flammability compliance. Material selection depends on application-specific requirements such as operating temperature extremes, chemical exposure, or mechanical stress conditions.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the Molex 0395056014 and Phoenix Contact 1843347 are ROHS3 compliant and suitable for applications requiring restricted substance compliance.

Q: What does MSL 1 (Unlimited) mean for these components?

A: MSL 1 indicates the lowest moisture sensitivity level. These parts do not require special moisture-controlled storage or handling procedures and have unlimited shelf life under standard conditions.

Q: Can I mix Molex and Phoenix Contact headers in the same assembly?

A: Yes, provided they are used in separate connector positions. Both parts meet identical electrical and mechanical specifications and can coexist in multi-connector designs without functional impact.
