Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Molex 0395338014 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Position Count & Pitch: 14 positions at 0.200" (5.08mm) spacing
• Connector Type: Plug with female sockets
• Wire Entry Angle: 90° orientation
• Termination Method: Screw-type rising cage clamp
• Mounting Configuration: Free-hanging in-line
• Electrical Ratings: Minimum 15 A (UL), 300 V (UL)
• Wire Gauge Compatibility: Support for 12-26 AWG minimum
• Material & Compliance: Polyamide housing, phosphor bronze contacts, UL94 V-0, ROHS3 compliant

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors part 1-284047-4 meets all substitution criteria. This part maintains identical position count, pitch, connector type, wire entry angle, termination style, and mounting configuration. Both parts share equivalent electrical ratings, material composition, and regulatory compliance status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the Molex 0395338014 and TE Connectivity 1-284047-4 are active production components with equivalent electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on:

Availability & Inventory: Molex 0395338014 has 940 units in stock; TE Connectivity 1-284047-4 has 892 units in stock. Both maintain adequate inventory levels for production requirements.

Regulatory Compliance: Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and carry UL94 V-0 flammability certification, meeting industrial safety and environmental standards.

Wire Gauge Accommodation: The TE Connectivity part supports 12-30 AWG, providing broader wire gauge compatibility compared to the Molex specification of 12-26 AWG. This extended range does not compromise the minimum requirement of 12-26 AWG support.

Operating Temperature Range: The TE Connectivity part operates to 110°C versus the Molex specification of 105°C. This extended upper temperature limit provides additional thermal margin without affecting baseline performance requirements.

Mechanical Compatibility: Both parts feature identical position count, pitch, connector type, wire entry angle, termination method, and mounting configuration, ensuring direct mechanical interchangeability in existing designs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TE Connectivity 1-284047-4 directly replace the Molex 0395338014 in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical position count (14), pitch (5.08mm), connector type (plug with female sockets), wire entry angle (90°), termination style (screw rising cage clamp), and mounting configuration (free-hanging in-line). Mechanical and electrical interchangeability is confirmed.

Q: Are there wire gauge differences between these parts?

A: The Molex part supports 12-26 AWG; the TE Connectivity part supports 12-30 AWG. The TE Connectivity part accommodates a broader range, including smaller gauge wires. Both meet the minimum 12-26 AWG requirement.

Q: What is the temperature operating range difference?

A: Molex operates -40°C to 105°C; TE Connectivity operates -40°C to 110°C. The TE Connectivity part provides 5°C additional upper temperature margin. Both are suitable for standard industrial control applications.

Q: Do both parts meet the same regulatory standards?

A: Yes. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and carry UL94 V-0 flammability certification. Electrical ratings are identical: 15 A (UL) and 300 V (UL).

Q: What is the screw torque specification for each part?

A: Molex 0395338014 specifies 0.56 Nm (5.0 Lb-In); TE Connectivity 1-284047-4 specifies 0.79 Nm (7.0 Lb-In). Verify torque application procedures during assembly to ensure proper contact pressure and connection reliability.

Q: Are the wire strip lengths the same?

A: Molex specifies 5mm wire strip length; TE Connectivity specifies 6-7.5mm. Confirm wire preparation procedures match the selected part's requirements during assembly.

Q: What is the screw size for the TE Connectivity part?

A: The TE Connectivity 1-284047-4 uses M3 screws. Verify that assembly tooling and procedures accommodate this specification.
