Molex 0395061007 Terminal Block Header – Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Molex 0395061007 is a 7-position terminal block header with male pins, shrouded on four sides, designed for 90° right-angle through-hole mounting. This component operates at 8 A (UL) and 300 V (UL) with a 0.138" (4.60mm) pitch configuration. The part is Active in product status with full RoHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical ratings, mechanical dimensions, and mounting characteristics align with the original specification, enabling direct replacement in applications where the original part becomes unavailable or inventory constraints require alternative sourcing.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Molex 0395061007 is determined by strict alignment of the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

• Electrical Compatibility: Current rating minimum 8 A (UL), voltage rating minimum 300 V (UL)
• Mechanical Compatibility: 7 positions, 0.138" (4.60mm) pitch, 90° right-angle orientation, male pins with 4-side shrouding
• Mounting Compatibility: Through-hole solder termination
• Regulatory Compliance: UL94 V-0 flammability rating, RoHS3 compliance, MSL 1 rating
• Contact Finish: Tin plating

The Phoenix Contact 1843842 meets all substitution criteria with equivalent electrical ratings (8 A UL, 300 V UL), identical position count and pitch, matching mechanical configuration, and full regulatory compliance. Minor dimensional variations in contact tail length (0.134" vs. 0.138") and insulation height (0.285" vs. 0.270") remain within acceptable tolerance for through-hole PCB mounting applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the Molex 0395061007 and Phoenix Contact 1843842 are Active products with full RoHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability certification. Selection between these parts should be based on inventory availability and lead time requirements. The Phoenix Contact 1843842 is qualified as a direct substitute where the Molex part is unavailable. Both parts meet identical electrical performance requirements (8 A UL, 300 V UL) and mechanical mounting specifications for through-hole PCB applications. The minor dimensional differences in contact tail length and insulation height do not affect functional compatibility in standard terminal block applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Phoenix Contact 1843842 be used as a direct replacement for the Molex 0395061007?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical ratings (8 A UL, 300 V UL), position count (7), pitch (0.138" / 4.60mm), orientation (90° right angle), and mounting method (through-hole solder). Both meet UL94 V-0 and RoHS3 requirements.

Q: What are the key differences between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are housing material (Molex uses PA66 Nylon 6/6; Phoenix Contact uses PBT), color (black vs. green), and minor dimensional variations in contact tail length (0.138" vs. 0.134") and insulation height (0.270" vs. 0.285"). These differences do not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns with PCB mounting?

A: No. The dimensional variations fall within standard PCB through-hole tolerances. Both parts are designed for identical 0.138" (4.60mm) pitch spacing and will mount correctly on compatible PCB layouts.

Q: Do both parts meet the same regulatory standards?

A: Yes. Both the Molex 0395061007 and Phoenix Contact 1843842 are RoHS3 compliant, UL94 V-0 rated, and carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity ratings.

Q: What is the basis for substitution between these parts?

A: Substitution is based on matching electrical ratings (current and voltage), mechanical configuration (position count, pitch, orientation, shrouding), mounting type (through-hole solder), and regulatory compliance (UL94 V-0, RoHS3). All these parameters are identical between the two parts.
