Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the Molex 0395320004 are qualified based on the following criteria:

Electrical Compatibility: All substitutes maintain identical current rating (15 A UL), voltage rating (300 V UL), and operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 105°C minimum).

Mechanical Compatibility: All substitutes share the same number of positions (4), pitch (0.200"/5.08mm), header orientation (90° right angle), and through-hole mounting configuration.

Functional Equivalence: All substitutes are terminal block headers with male pins and solder termination, suitable for identical PCB footprints and wire connection applications.

Regulatory Compliance: All substitutes maintain UL94 V-0 flammability rating and ROHS3 compliance.

Shrouding Configuration: Substitutes are grouped by shrouding type (2-side or 4-side), which affects mechanical fit and insertion force characteristics but does not impact electrical performance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct Equivalent (Same Shrouding Configuration): The TE Connectivity 282814-4 is a direct functional equivalent to the Molex 0395320004, sharing identical 2-side shrouding configuration, electrical ratings, and through-hole mounting specifications. Both components maintain active product status and ROHS3 compliance. The TE Connectivity part features an extended operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 110°C) and interlocking side features, with copper alloy contacts in place of brass.

Alternative with Enhanced Shrouding: The Molex 0395321004 provides 4-side shrouding within the same Eurostyle ESE 39532 series, offering increased mechanical protection and insertion force characteristics. This variant maintains identical electrical ratings and operating temperature range as the primary part.

Cross-Manufacturer Alternative: The Amphenol ELFH04210 offers 4-side shrouding with PBT housing material instead of PA66/Nylon 6/6, maintaining all electrical and thermal specifications. This component is suitable for applications requiring alternative housing material properties.

All substitute parts maintain active product status, UL94 V-0 flammability compliance, and ROHS3 certification, ensuring regulatory and performance equivalence for terminal block header applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Molex 0395321004 (4-side shrouding) be used as a direct replacement for the Molex 0395320004 (2-side shrouding)?

A: The Molex 0395321004 is electrically and functionally equivalent but features 4-side shrouding instead of 2-side. This affects mechanical fit and insertion force. Verify PCB footprint compatibility and connector mating requirements before substitution.

Q: What is the primary difference between the TE Connectivity 282814-4 and the Molex 0395320004?

A: Both components share 2-side shrouding, identical pitch (5.08mm), and electrical ratings (15 A, 300 V). The TE Connectivity part features copper alloy contacts, an extended operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 110°C), and interlocking side features. Contact material and temperature range differences do not affect electrical performance in standard applications.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. The Molex 0395320004, Molex 0395321004, TE Connectivity 282814-4, and Amphenol ELFH04210 are all ROHS3 compliant.

Q: Does housing material (PA66/Nylon 6/6 versus PBT) affect electrical performance?

A: Housing material does not affect electrical performance. The Amphenol ELFH04210 uses PBT housing instead of PA66/Nylon 6/6, which may provide different mechanical and thermal properties suitable for specific application environments.

Q: Can shrouding configuration be changed without affecting PCB compatibility?

A: Shrouding configuration affects mechanical fit, insertion force, and PCB footprint requirements. Verify that the substitute part's shrouding type (2-side or 4-side) is compatible with your PCB design and connector mating specifications.

Q: Are all substitute parts available in the same packaging format?

A: All substitute parts are supplied in bulk packaging, consistent with the primary Molex 0395320004 component.
