Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The Phoenix Contact 1754669 qualifies as an equivalent substitute based on the following critical parameters:

• Position Count & Pitch: Both parts feature 13 positions at 5mm pitch, ensuring mechanical and electrical compatibility with mating connectors and PCB layouts.
• Connector Type & Orientation: Both are plug-type female socket connectors with 180° free-hanging in-line configuration, maintaining identical mounting and wire entry geometry.
• Termination Method: Both use screw-based rising cage clamp termination, supporting the same wire gauges (12-30 AWG) and installation procedures.
• Electrical Ratings: Both meet 300V UL voltage requirements. The Phoenix Contact part specifies 15A UL current (versus 18A for the Molex part), which is acceptable for applications within the 15A threshold.
• Safety Certifications: Both achieve UL94 V-0 flammability rating and ROHS3 compliance, meeting identical regulatory requirements.
• Insulation Height: Both maintain 0.591" (15.00mm) insulation height, ensuring compatibility with standard terminal block housings and spacing requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the Molex 0395200613 and Phoenix Contact 1754669 are active production components with equivalent mechanical and electrical specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on:

• Current Requirements: Applications requiring continuous current above 15A must use the Molex part (18A rating). Applications operating at or below 15A UL current can use either part.
• Supply Chain Availability: The Phoenix Contact part currently has higher inventory (781 units versus 692 units), which may influence lead time considerations.
• Regulatory Compliance: Both parts meet identical safety standards (UL94 V-0, ROHS3 Compliant), ensuring equivalent compliance for regulated applications.
• Connector Series Compatibility: The Molex Eurostyle ESE 39520 series and Phoenix Contact COMBICON MSTB series are mechanically and electrically interchangeable at the 5mm pitch, 13-position configuration.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Phoenix Contact 1754669 replace the Molex 0395200613 in all applications?

A: The Phoenix Contact part is a direct mechanical and electrical substitute for applications operating at 15A UL current or below. Applications requiring the full 18A UL rating of the Molex part must continue using the original component.

Q: Are the screw torque specifications compatible between these parts?

A: Both parts use M3 screws with similar torque specifications (Molex: 0.56 Nm / 5.0 Lb-In; Phoenix Contact: 0.5-0.6 Nm / 4.4-5.3 Lb-In). Installation procedures are compatible.

Q: Do these parts require different wire strip lengths?

A: The wire strip lengths differ slightly (Molex: 6.5mm; Phoenix Contact: 7mm). Both values fall within acceptable ranges for standard 12-30 AWG wire preparation and do not affect substitution compatibility.

Q: Are both parts suitable for the same operating temperature range?

A: The Molex part specifies -40°C ~ 115°C operating temperature. The Phoenix Contact part does not specify an operating temperature range in the provided data. For applications with strict temperature requirements, the Molex part's specified range should be confirmed as acceptable.

Q: What is the difference in contact finish between these parts?

A: The Molex part uses gold contact mating finish; the Phoenix Contact part uses tin finish. Both finishes are standard for industrial terminal blocks and do not affect electrical performance in screw-clamp applications.
