Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Molex 0395238907 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Position Count & Pitch: Substitute must have 7 positions at 0.197" (5.00mm) pitch to ensure mechanical and electrical compatibility with mating connectors and PCB layouts.
Wire Entry Orientation: 90° entry is required to maintain form factor and installation geometry.
Termination Method: Screw-based rising cage clamp termination ensures consistent wire retention and electrical contact.
Mounting Configuration: Free-hanging (in-line) mounting type must be preserved for application fit.
Electrical Ratings: Current (15 A UL) and voltage (300 V UL) ratings establish the minimum performance threshold.
Wire Gauge Compatibility: Acceptable wire gauge range must overlap with or exceed 12-26 AWG to support existing wiring specifications.
Safety Certifications: UL94 V-0 flammability rating and ROHS3 compliance are mandatory for regulatory and environmental requirements.

The Phoenix Contact 1792061 meets all substitution criteria within these parameters.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the Molex 0395238907 and Phoenix Contact 1792061 are active production components with ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability certification. Selection between these parts should be based on:

Availability: Molex 0395238907 has 685 units in stock; Phoenix Contact 1792061 has 1102 units in stock.
Wire Gauge Support: Phoenix Contact 1792061 supports 12-30 AWG, providing extended compatibility for applications requiring smaller gauge conductors (27-30 AWG).
Torque Specification: Phoenix Contact 1792061 specifies a torque range (0.5-0.6 Nm) versus Molex's fixed specification (0.56 Nm), allowing operational flexibility within the overlapping range.
Regulatory Status: Both parts meet current compliance requirements for the specified application category.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Phoenix Contact 1792061 be used as a direct replacement for the Molex 0395238907?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical position count (7), pitch (5.00mm), wire entry orientation (90°), termination method (screw rising cage clamp), mounting type (free-hanging in-line), and electrical ratings (15 A UL, 300 V UL). Mechanical dimensions are within compatible tolerance (insulation height difference of 0.04mm). Both carry UL94 V-0 and ROHS3 certifications.

Q: What is the wire gauge compatibility difference?

A: The Molex 0395238907 accepts 12-26 AWG wire. The Phoenix Contact 1792061 accepts 12-30 AWG wire. The Phoenix Contact part supports additional smaller gauge conductors (27-30 AWG) while maintaining full compatibility with the Molex specification range.

Q: Are there differences in screw torque specifications?

A: The Molex 0395238907 specifies a fixed torque of 0.56 Nm (5.0 Lb-In). The Phoenix Contact 1792061 specifies a torque range of 0.5-0.6 Nm (4.4-5.3 Lb-In). The Molex specification falls within the Phoenix Contact range, ensuring compatibility.

Q: Do both parts have the same contact mating finish?

A: No. The Molex 0395238907 uses gold contact mating finish; the Phoenix Contact 1792061 uses tin contact mating finish. Both finishes are suitable for the specified electrical ratings and environmental conditions.

Q: Are both parts currently in production?

A: Yes. Both the Molex 0395238907 and Phoenix Contact 1792061 are active production components with current inventory availability.
