Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Molex 0395264010 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Position Count & Pitch: 10 positions at 0.197" (5.00mm) spacing
Connector Type & Orientation: Male pins, shrouded (4 side), 90° right-angle configuration
Electrical Ratings: 15 A (UL), 300 V (UL)
Termination & Mounting: Solder termination, through-hole mounting
Contact & Housing Materials: Brass contacts with tin finish; polyamide housing
Compliance: UL94 V-0 flammability rating, ROHS3 compliance

The substitute part Molex 0395260010 meets all these criteria. The primary distinction lies in product status (active vs. obsolete) and minor variations in housing material composition and maximum operating temperature, which do not affect functional interchangeability within the specified electrical and mechanical parameters.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Molex 0395260010 is the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete Molex 0395264010. Both components are ROHS3 compliant and carry UL94 V-0 flammability certification, meeting regulatory requirements for industrial applications.

Selection of the substitute part is appropriate when:

Applications operate within the -40°C to 105°C temperature range
The housing material change from PA46 to PA66 polyamide is acceptable for the intended environment
Active production and ongoing component availability are required
Functional equivalence across electrical ratings (15 A, 300 V) and mechanical configuration (10 positions, 5mm pitch, 90° right-angle, through-hole solder termination) is sufficient

The substitute part maintains identical pin configuration, pitch spacing, and electrical performance characteristics, ensuring direct functional replacement in circuit board designs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Molex 0395260010 be used as a direct replacement for the 0395264010 in existing designs?

A: Yes, the 0395260010 is functionally equivalent for applications operating within -40°C to 105°C. Both parts share identical position count, pitch, connector type, electrical ratings, and termination method. The housing material differs (PA66 vs. PA46), but both meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements.

Q: What is the difference in operating temperature range between these parts?

A: The main part (0395264010) operates to 120°C maximum, while the substitute (0395260010) operates to 105°C maximum. Applications requiring operation above 105°C should retain the original part specification if available.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The main part is listed as obsolete with packaging designation "-", while the substitute is active and supplied in bulk packaging. Inventory availability differs: 1039 pcs for the main part versus 806 pcs for the substitute.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both the 0395264010 and 0395260010 are ROHS3 compliant and carry UL94 V-0 flammability ratings. Both use tin contact mating finish and brass contact material.

Q: What is the significance of the housing material change from PA46 to PA66?

A: Both polyamide compositions meet the same flammability and electrical performance standards for this application. PA66 (nylon 6/6) is commonly used in active production variants. The change does not affect electrical or mechanical interchangeability within specified operating parameters.

Q: Can I mix these parts in the same production batch?

A: Both parts are mechanically and electrically equivalent within their respective operating ranges. However, design documentation should specify the active substitute (0395260010) for new production to ensure long-term component availability.
