Molex 0395105513 Terminal Block Plug – Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Molex 0395105513 is a 13-position terminal block plug with female sockets, designed for 0.150" (3.81mm) pitch applications. This component features screw-rising cage clamp termination, 180° free-hanging in-line mounting, and operates across -40°C to 115°C. The part is active in production with 905 units currently in stock. Alternative equivalent parts may be required due to supply constraints, design standardization across manufacturing facilities, or specific application requirements for enhanced electrical ratings or environmental performance.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Molex 0395105513 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Position Count & Pitch: Substitute must have 13 positions at 0.150" (3.81mm) pitch to ensure mechanical and electrical compatibility with mating connectors.
• Connector Type & Orientation: Substitute must be a plug with female sockets and 180° wire entry to maintain in-line free-hanging mounting configuration.
• Electrical Ratings: Substitute must meet or exceed UL voltage (300 V) and current (8 A) specifications to ensure safe operation in the intended circuit.
• Wire Gauge Compatibility: Substitute wire gauge range must accommodate 16-30 AWG conductors or equivalent metric range.
• Operating Temperature Range: Substitute must support the -40°C to 115°C operating window.
• Termination Method: Substitute must use screw-based termination (rising cage clamp or equivalent clamping mechanism) for secure wire retention.
• Compliance & Material Standards: Substitute must maintain UL94 V-0 flammability rating and RoHS compliance.

The Weidmüller 1899440000 meets these substitution criteria across all critical parameters.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Part: Molex 0395105513

Select the Molex 0395105513 when:

• Original equipment design specifies Molex Eurostyle ESE 39510 series components.
• Supply availability is confirmed (905 units in stock).
• Application requires rising cage clamp termination mechanism.
• Wire gauge requirements include 28-30 AWG conductors.

Substitute Part: Weidmüller 1899440000

Select the Weidmüller 1899440000 when:

• Molex 0395105513 is unavailable or supply is constrained.
• Application benefits from higher current rating (10 A vs. 8 A).
• Extended operating temperature range (-50°C to 120°C) is required.
• Wire gauge application is limited to 16-28 AWG range.
• Clamping yoke termination mechanism is acceptable for the design.
• Supply availability is confirmed (1025 units in stock).

Both parts maintain identical electrical ratings (300 V UL), flammability compliance (UL94 V-0), and RoHS certification. Mechanical substitution is valid provided the mating connector accepts either rising cage clamp or clamping yoke termination styles.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Weidmüller 1899440000 directly replace the Molex 0395105513 in existing designs?

A: Yes, provided the mating connector is compatible with both rising cage clamp and clamping yoke termination mechanisms. Both parts share identical pitch (3.81mm), position count (13), wire entry angle (180°), and electrical ratings (300 V, UL). Verify termination mechanism compatibility with your specific mating connector before implementation.

Q: What is the difference between rising cage clamp and clamping yoke termination?

A: Rising cage clamp (Molex) uses a spring-loaded cage that rises to secure the wire. Clamping yoke (Weidmüller) uses a tension sleeve mechanism for wire retention. Both are screw-actuated and provide equivalent wire holding force. The choice depends on mating connector design and assembly equipment compatibility.

Q: Are there wire gauge limitations when substituting?

A: The Molex 0395105513 accepts 16-30 AWG wire. The Weidmüller 1899440000 accepts 16-28 AWG wire. If your application uses 29-30 AWG conductors, the Molex part is required. For 16-28 AWG applications, both parts are compatible.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both parts are UL94 V-0 flammable rated and RoHS compliant. The Molex part is ROHS3 compliant; the Weidmüller part is RoHS compliant. Both meet the electrical safety and environmental requirements for this product category.

Q: What is the impact of the different housing materials?

A: The Molex part uses standard polyamide (PA66/Nylon 6/6). The Weidmüller part uses glass-filled polyamide, which provides enhanced mechanical strength and thermal stability. For standard applications, both materials are functionally equivalent. Glass-filled material may offer improved performance in high-vibration or thermal cycling environments.

Q: Can I mix Molex and Weidmüller components in the same system?

A: Yes, provided each component is mated with a compatible connector designed for its specific termination mechanism. Do not attempt to mate a Molex plug with a Weidmüller receptacle or vice versa unless the receptacle is explicitly rated for both termination styles.
