Molex 0395354513 Terminal Block Header – Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Molex 0395354513 is a 13-position terminal block header with male pins, shrouded on four sides, designed for 0.200" (5.08mm) pitch vertical through-hole mounting. This component belongs to the Eurostyle ESE 39535 series and is classified as obsolete. Due to its obsolete status, direct equivalents from the active product line are necessary for new designs and ongoing production requirements. The substitute parts listed maintain electrical and mechanical compatibility while offering active product status and improved availability.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Molex 0395354513 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Position Count & Pitch: All substitutes maintain 13 positions at 0.200" (5.08mm) pitch
Form Factor: Vertical orientation, male pins, four-side shrouded configuration
Electrical Ratings: 15 A (UL) current and 300 V (UL) voltage maintained across all alternatives
Mechanical Compatibility: Through-hole solder termination with identical contact tail length (0.150") and insulation height (0.472")
Compliance: All substitutes maintain UL94 V-0 flammability rating and ROHS3 compliance

The two substitute parts differ only in contact mating finish (tin vs. gold) and housing material composition (PA46 vs. PA66), with operating temperature ranges extending to 115°C in active alternatives. These variations do not affect functional interchangeability in standard applications.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Obsolete Part Replacement: The Molex 0395354513 is classified as obsolete. Both substitute parts (0395350013 and 0395350513) are active products within the same Eurostyle ESE 39535 series and provide direct functional equivalence.

Contact Mating Finish Consideration: The 0395350513 maintains gold contact mating finish identical to the original part. The 0395350013 uses tin finish. Gold finish provides superior corrosion resistance and is recommended for applications requiring extended shelf life or exposure to corrosive environments.

Housing Material: Active substitutes use PA66 (Nylon 6/6) housing versus PA46 (Nylon 4/6) in the original part. PA66 offers improved thermal stability with operating temperature range extended to 115°C, compared to 105°C maximum for the original.

Compliance & Certifications: All parts maintain UL94 V-0 flammability rating and ROHS3 compliance, ensuring regulatory compatibility across industrial and consumer applications.

Availability: Both substitute parts are in active production with higher inventory levels (1074 and 1162 units respectively) compared to the obsolete original (752 units).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 0395350013 and 0395350513 be used interchangeably with the 0395354513?

A: Yes. Both substitute parts maintain identical electrical ratings (15 A, 300 V), mechanical dimensions (13 positions, 5.08mm pitch, 0.150" tail length), and mounting configuration (vertical through-hole solder). The differences in contact finish and housing material do not affect functional interchangeability in standard applications.

Q: What is the difference between the two substitute parts?

A: The primary differences are contact mating finish (tin vs. gold) and housing material composition (PA66 vs. PA46). The 0395350513 with gold finish matches the original part's contact specification. Both offer identical electrical and mechanical performance.

Q: Why is the original 0395354513 marked as obsolete?

A: The part is obsolete due to product line consolidation within the Eurostyle ESE 39535 series. Active alternatives provide equivalent functionality with improved thermal performance and better availability.

Q: Are there any temperature limitations when substituting?

A: The original part operates to 105°C maximum. Both active substitutes extend this to 115°C, providing improved thermal margin. Applications operating within the original 105°C limit will function identically with either substitute.

Q: Do all parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. All three parts are ROHS3 compliant with UL94 V-0 flammability rating and MSL 1 (unlimited moisture sensitivity level). Regulatory requirements are maintained across all alternatives.

Q: Which substitute should be selected for new designs?

A: The 0395350513 is recommended for new designs as it maintains gold contact finish matching the original specification and offers active product status with superior thermal performance.
