Molex 0395166011 Terminal Block Header - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Molex 0395166011 is an 11-position terminal block header featuring male pins with 4-side shrouding, designed for 0.150" (3.81mm) pitch right-angle through-hole mounting. This component is part of the Eurostyle ESE 39516 series and maintains active product status with 837 units in current inventory. Terminal block headers serve as critical interconnection points in industrial control systems, power distribution modules, and modular electronic assemblies where reliable solder-terminated connections are required. Equivalent and substitute parts are identified to support design flexibility, supply chain continuity, and application-specific material or certification requirements.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Molex 0395166011 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Position Count & Pitch: 11 positions at 0.150" (3.81mm) spacing
Connector Type & Gender: Male pin header with 4-side shrouding
Orientation & Mounting: 90° right-angle through-hole configuration
Electrical Ratings: Minimum 8 A current capacity and 300 V voltage rating (UL standard)
Termination Method: Solder-terminated pins
Compliance: ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability rating

The Phoenix Contact 1827952 meets all substitution criteria. While housing material differs (PBT versus PA66), both materials satisfy UL94 V-0 requirements and maintain equivalent electrical performance within specified operating parameters. Contact tail length and insulation height variations remain within acceptable mechanical tolerances for standard PCB mounting applications.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the Molex 0395166011 and Phoenix Contact 1827952 maintain active product status and full ROHS3 compliance. Selection between these parts should be based on:

Molex 0395166011: Primary choice when PA66/Nylon 6/6 housing material is specified in design documentation or when existing inventory supports supply chain continuity. Established Eurostyle ESE 39516 series compatibility.

Phoenix Contact 1827952: Suitable alternative when PBT housing material is preferred for enhanced chemical resistance or when Phoenix Contact supply chain logistics provide cost or delivery advantages. COMBICON MC series integration may align with existing Phoenix Contact component ecosystems.

Both parts satisfy identical electrical performance requirements (8 A, 300 V UL ratings), flammability standards (UL94 V-0), and environmental compliance (ROHS3, MSL 1). Minor dimensional variations in contact tail length and insulation height do not impact standard PCB mounting or connector mating operations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Phoenix Contact 1827952 be used as a direct replacement for the Molex 0395166011 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both components share identical electrical ratings (8 A, 300 V), pitch (0.150"), position count (11), orientation (90° right-angle), and termination method (solder). Minor dimensional differences in contact tail length (0.138" vs. 0.134") and insulation height (0.270" vs. 0.285") remain within standard PCB mounting tolerances and do not affect connector interface compatibility.

Q: What is the significance of the housing material difference between PA66 and PBT?

A: Both materials achieve UL94 V-0 flammability certification and maintain equivalent electrical insulation properties within the specified operating temperature range (-40°C to 105°C). PBT offers enhanced chemical resistance in certain industrial environments, while PA66 provides established long-term reliability in standard applications. Material selection should align with specific environmental exposure requirements in the target application.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences between these parts?

A: No. Both the Molex 0395166011 and Phoenix Contact 1827952 are ROHS3 compliant, carry UL94 V-0 flammability ratings, and maintain MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity levels. Both are classified under identical HTSUS code 8536.69.4040 and ECCN EAR99.

Q: What factors should determine which substitute part to select?

A: Selection should be based on design material specifications, existing supply chain relationships, inventory availability, and delivery timeline requirements. Both parts are functionally and electrically equivalent. Verify that the selected part's housing material (PA66 or PBT) aligns with documented design requirements or environmental exposure conditions.

Q: Are there any mechanical considerations for PCB layout when substituting these parts?

A: The minor variations in contact tail length (0.004" difference) and insulation height (0.015" difference) are within standard PCB design tolerances. No layout modifications are required for standard through-hole mounting applications. Verify final assembly clearances if the PCB design incorporates tight mechanical constraints around the terminal block mounting area.
