Molex 0395345613 Terminal Block Plug – Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Molex 0395345613 is a 13-position terminal block plug with female sockets, 0.200" (5.08mm) pitch, designed for 180° free-hanging in-line applications. This component is part of the Eurostyle ESE 39534 series and is rated for 18 A at 300 V UL. The product is active and in stock with 1042 units available. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters align with the original specification, enabling direct replacement in applications where the main part becomes unavailable or when inventory constraints require alternative sourcing.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Molex 0395345613 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Position count and pitch: Must be 13 positions at 0.200" (5.08mm) spacing
• Connector type and orientation: Must be plug with female sockets and 180° wire entry
• Mounting configuration: Must be free-hanging in-line
• Termination method: Must use screw-based rising cage clamp
• Electrical ratings: Current and voltage ratings must meet or exceed the original specification
• Wire gauge compatibility: Must accept 12-30 AWG conductors
• Material and compliance: Housing must be polyamide (PA66/Nylon 6/6) with UL94 V-0 rating and ROHS3 compliance

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors part number 1-796634-3 meets these criteria and qualifies as a manufacturer-recommended substitute.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TE Connectivity 1-796634-3 is a qualified substitute for the Molex 0395345613 based on matching core electrical and mechanical parameters. Both components are active products with ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability ratings.

Selection considerations:

• Current rating differential: The TE part is rated at 15 A versus the Molex 18 A rating. Use the TE substitute only in applications where circuit current does not exceed 15 A.
• Operating temperature: The TE part operates to 110°C maximum versus 115°C for the Molex part. Verify application temperature requirements do not exceed 110°C.
• Contact finish: The Molex part features gold plating; the TE part uses tin plating. Both are suitable for standard industrial terminal block applications.
• Mechanical dimensions: The TE part has a slightly larger insulation height (15.49mm vs. 15.00mm). Confirm clearance in the target enclosure or mounting location.
• Screw torque: The TE part requires 0.79 Nm versus 0.56 Nm for the Molex part. Adjust torque specifications when installing the TE substitute.

Both parts are in stock and available for immediate procurement.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TE Connectivity 1-796634-3 directly replace the Molex 0395345613 in all applications?

A: Direct replacement is possible when application current does not exceed 15 A and operating temperature remains below 110°C. The TE part meets all core mechanical and electrical requirements for 13-position, 5.08mm pitch terminal block plug applications. Verify these thermal and electrical limits before substitution.

Q: What is the significance of the different contact finishes (gold vs. tin)?

A: Gold plating on the Molex part provides enhanced corrosion resistance and contact reliability in harsh environments. Tin plating on the TE part is suitable for standard industrial applications with normal environmental exposure. For applications requiring superior corrosion resistance or extended service life in corrosive atmospheres, the gold-plated Molex part is preferred.

Q: Are there mechanical compatibility issues between these two parts?

A: The insulation height differs by 0.49mm (Molex 15.00mm vs. TE 15.49mm). This minor difference is unlikely to cause issues in most applications but should be verified if the terminal block is installed in a space-constrained enclosure or mounting location.

Q: What torque specification should be used when installing the TE Connectivity substitute?

A: Use the TE Connectivity specification of 0.79 Nm (7.0 Lb-In) for screw termination. Do not use the Molex torque value of 0.56 Nm, as this may result in insufficient contact pressure or wire retention.

Q: Are both parts RoHS and flammability compliant?

A: Yes. Both the Molex 0395345613 and TE Connectivity 1-796634-3 are ROHS3 compliant and carry UL94 V-0 flammability ratings, meeting current regulatory and safety standards for industrial terminal block applications.

Q: What is the wire gauge compatibility for both parts?

A: Both parts accept 12-30 AWG conductors, ensuring compatibility across standard industrial wiring applications.
