Molex 0395355502 Terminal Block Header – Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Molex 0395355502 is a 2-position terminal block header with male pins, shrouded design, and 5.08mm pitch for vertical through-hole mounting. This component is part of the Eurostyle ESE 39535 series and is actively manufactured. Equivalent parts are identified when they maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across critical parameters including position count, pitch, orientation, termination method, and mounting type. Substitute components ensure design continuity when primary inventory is unavailable or when alternative sourcing is required for supply chain optimization.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Molex 0395355502 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Position Count & Pitch: 2 positions at 0.200" (5.08mm) spacing
• Connector Type & Configuration: Header with male pins, shrouded (4-side) design
• Mounting Method: Vertical through-hole solder termination
• Electrical Ratings: Minimum 300 V UL voltage rating and 15 A UL current capacity
• Mechanical Compatibility: Insulation height of 0.472" (12.00mm) and contact tail length within tolerance
• Regulatory Compliance: UL94 V-0 flammability rating and ROHS3 compliance

The Phoenix Contact 1924525 meets all substitution criteria within these parameters.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the Molex 0395355502 and Phoenix Contact 1924525 are active products with ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability certification. The Phoenix Contact 1924525 provides equivalent electrical performance with a 16 A UL current rating, which exceeds the 15 A specification of the Molex part. Contact tail length variance (3.90mm vs. 3.81mm) falls within acceptable mechanical tolerance for through-hole PCB assembly. Both components maintain identical pitch, position count, shrouded configuration, and vertical orientation, ensuring direct functional substitution in circuit designs. Selection between these parts should be based on inventory availability, lead time requirements, and established supplier relationships.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Phoenix Contact 1924525 be used as a direct replacement for the Molex 0395355502?

A: Yes. Both components share identical pitch (5.08mm), position count (2), shrouded male pin configuration, vertical through-hole mounting, and solder termination. Electrical ratings (300 V UL, 15+ A UL) and flammability certification (UL94 V-0) are equivalent or superior.

Q: What is the significance of the contact tail length difference (3.81mm vs. 3.90mm)?

A: The 0.09mm variance is within standard PCB assembly tolerance for through-hole components and does not affect electrical or mechanical performance. Both parts are compatible with standard 0.062" (1.57mm) PCB thickness.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the Molex 0395355502 and Phoenix Contact 1924525 are ROHS3 compliant and carry UL94 V-0 flammability ratings, meeting current regulatory requirements.

Q: Does the higher current rating of the Phoenix Contact part (16 A vs. 15 A) affect compatibility?

A: No. A higher current rating indicates greater capacity and does not compromise compatibility. The Phoenix Contact 1924525 can safely handle applications designed for the 15 A Molex specification.

Q: Are there any packaging or inventory considerations?

A: Both parts are supplied in bulk packaging. Current inventory levels are 1020 pcs (Molex) and 1830 pcs (Phoenix Contact). Selection should account for project timeline and supplier lead times.
