Molex 0395214005 Terminal Block Header - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Molex 0395214005 is a 5-position vertical terminal block header with male pins and 4-side shrouding, designed for 0.197" (5.00mm) pitch through-hole applications. This component is classified as Active product status and is ROHS3 compliant. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters align with the original specification, enabling direct replacement in applications where the core functional requirements remain unchanged.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the Molex 0395214005 are qualified based on the following critical parameters:

Position Count & Pitch: Both substitute parts maintain 5 positions with compatible pitch specifications (5.00mm and 5.08mm are mechanically interchangeable in standard applications)
Header Type & Orientation: All parts are vertical-mount, male-pin headers with 4-side shrouding
Mounting & Termination: Through-hole solder termination is consistent across all parts
Electrical Ratings: Voltage and current ratings must meet or exceed the original specification (300 V UL, 15 A UL minimum)
Compliance: ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability rating are maintained
Product Status: All substitute parts are Active status

The Phoenix Contact COMBICON MSTBVA series parts (1755545 and 1755765) meet these criteria and are manufacturer-recommended substitutes.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Phoenix Contact 1755545 qualifies as a direct substitute for applications requiring 5.00mm pitch spacing. This part maintains identical UL voltage and current ratings (300 V, 12 A) and meets all compliance requirements (ROHS3, UL94 V-0). The contact tail length differential (3.90mm vs. 3.30mm) and insulation height variance (12.00mm vs. 11.94mm) are within standard manufacturing tolerances for through-hole terminal block applications.

Phoenix Contact 1755765 qualifies as a substitute for applications where 5.08mm pitch spacing is acceptable. This part provides enhanced IEC voltage rating (630 V IEC) while maintaining UL compliance (300 V, 12 A). The pitch tolerance of 0.08mm represents a 1.6% variance from the original specification and is compatible with standard PCB footprint tolerances in terminal block applications.

Both Phoenix Contact substitutes are Active status products with full ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability certification, ensuring regulatory and safety standard alignment with the original Molex component.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can Phoenix Contact 1755545 be used as a direct replacement for Molex 0395214005?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical pitch (5.00mm), position count (5), header type (male pins, 4-side shrouded), mounting method (through-hole solder), and UL electrical ratings (300 V, 12 A minimum). Physical dimensions are within standard manufacturing tolerances.

Q: What is the difference between Phoenix Contact 1755545 and 1755765?

A: The primary difference is pitch specification: 1755545 uses 5.00mm pitch (exact match to original), while 1755765 uses 5.08mm pitch (0.08mm variance). Both maintain identical UL ratings and compliance certifications. The 1755765 provides higher IEC voltage rating (630 V vs. 400 V).

Q: Are there pitch compatibility concerns with the 5.08mm variant?

A: The 5.08mm pitch represents a 1.6% variance from the 5.00mm specification. This variance is within standard PCB footprint tolerances for terminal block applications and does not affect electrical performance or safety ratings.

Q: Do all substitute parts maintain the same compliance certifications?

A: Yes. All parts listed are ROHS3 compliant and carry UL94 V-0 flammability ratings. Both Phoenix Contact substitutes are Active status products with equivalent regulatory standing to the original Molex component.

Q: What is the current rating difference between the original and substitutes?

A: The Molex 0395214005 is rated for 15 A (UL), while both Phoenix Contact substitutes are rated for 12 A (UL). Applications requiring the full 15 A capacity must use the original Molex part. For applications operating at or below 12 A, the Phoenix Contact substitutes are fully qualified.
