Molex 0395132406 Terminal Block Plug – Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Molex 0395132406 is a 6-position terminal block plug with female sockets, 0.150" (3.81mm) pitch, designed for 270° free-hanging in-line applications. This component is part of the Eurostyle ESE 39513 series and is currently active in production. The part operates at 8 A (UL) and 300 V (UL) with screw-type rising cage clamp termination. Finding equivalent substitute parts is necessary to ensure design flexibility, manage supply chain continuity, and maintain compatibility across manufacturing batches and sourcing options.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Molex 0395132406 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Electrical Compatibility: Current rating (8 A UL minimum), voltage rating (300 V UL minimum), and wire gauge acceptance range must accommodate the original specification or be broader.
• Mechanical Compatibility: 6-position configuration, 0.150" (3.81mm) pitch, 270° wire entry orientation, screw-type rising cage clamp termination, and free-hanging in-line mounting must be identical.
• Physical Dimensions: Insulation height and wire strip length must be compatible with existing PCB layouts and mating connectors.
• Regulatory Compliance: UL94 V-0 flammability rating and ROHS3 compliance are required.
• Contact Interface: Female socket configuration with tin mating finish ensures proper mating with standard male pins.

The Phoenix Contact 1827017 qualifies as a substitute based on matching all critical mechanical and electrical parameters within acceptable tolerances.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the Molex 0395132406 and Phoenix Contact 1827017 are active products with full ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability certification. Selection between these parts should be based on:

• Supply Availability: Both parts are in stock. The Phoenix Contact 1827017 has 1046 pcs available; the Molex 0395132406 has 961 pcs available.
• Wire Gauge Requirements: The Phoenix Contact 1827017 accepts 14-30 AWG (0.14-1.5mm²), which is broader than the Molex specification of 16-30 AWG. If your design uses 14 or 15 AWG wire, the Phoenix Contact part is required.
• Dimensional Fit: The insulation height difference of 0.002" (0.05mm) and wire strip length difference of 0.5mm are within standard manufacturing tolerances and do not affect mechanical compatibility.
• Screw Torque Specification: The Phoenix Contact part specifies a torque range (0.22-0.25 Nm) that overlaps with the Molex specification (0.23 Nm). Both are compatible with standard assembly procedures.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Phoenix Contact 1827017 directly replace the Molex 0395132406 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical pitch (3.81mm), position count (6), wire entry angle (270°), termination method (screw rising cage clamp), and electrical ratings (8 A, 300 V UL). The dimensional differences (0.002" in insulation height, 0.5mm in wire strip length) are within standard tolerances and do not affect mating or mounting.

Q: What wire gauges are compatible with each part?

A: The Molex 0395132406 accepts 16-30 AWG. The Phoenix Contact 1827017 accepts 14-30 AWG (0.14-1.5mm²). If your application requires 14 or 15 AWG wire, use the Phoenix Contact part.

Q: Are both parts RoHS and flammability compliant?

A: Yes. Both the Molex 0395132406 and Phoenix Contact 1827017 are ROHS3 compliant and carry UL94 V-0 flammability certification.

Q: What is the difference in screw torque specifications?

A: The Molex part specifies 0.23 Nm (2.0 Lb-In). The Phoenix Contact part specifies 0.22-0.25 Nm (1.9-2.2 Lb-In). The Phoenix Contact range encompasses the Molex specification, ensuring compatibility with standard assembly torque procedures.

Q: Are there any color differences between these parts?

A: Yes. The Molex 0395132406 is black; the Phoenix Contact 1827017 is green. This is a cosmetic difference and does not affect electrical or mechanical function.

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

A: Yes. Both parts are mechanically and electrically compatible. They can be used interchangeably or together in multi-connector applications without functional impact.
