Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Molex 0395364516 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Position Count & Pitch: 16 positions at 0.200" (5.08mm) spacing
Header Type & Orientation: Male pins, shrouded (4 side), 90° right-angle configuration
Termination & Mounting: Solder termination, through-hole mounting
Electrical Ratings: Voltage rating of 300V UL; current capacity of 15A minimum
Temperature Range: -40°C to 105°C operating specification
Compliance: ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability rating
Series Compatibility: Eurostyle ESE 39536 series

The substitute parts identified—Molex 0395360016 and Molex 0395360516—maintain all critical mechanical and electrical parameters. Variations in contact mating finish (gold vs. tin), housing material composition (PA46 vs. PA66), and current rating enhancements (18A vs. 15A) do not prevent functional substitution within the specified electrical and thermal operating envelope.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Molex 0395360516 is the manufacturer-recommended substitute. This part maintains gold contact mating finish identical to the original 0395364516, ensuring equivalent contact resistance and mating characteristics. The part is active in production with enhanced current rating (18A vs. 15A), providing operational margin within the same voltage and temperature specifications. ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability rating are maintained.

Molex 0395360016 is a direct functional alternative with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The primary distinction is tin contact mating finish instead of gold. This part is also active in production. Housing material composition differs (PA66 vs. PA46), though both meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and operate within the specified temperature range.

Both substitute parts are suitable for applications where the original 0395364516 is no longer available. Selection between them depends on contact finish requirements and material composition preferences for the specific application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 0395360516 directly replace the 0395364516 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 0395360516 maintains all critical mechanical and electrical parameters: 16 positions, 5.08mm pitch, 90° right-angle orientation, solder termination, through-hole mounting, 300V rating, and -40°C to 105°C operating range. The enhanced current rating (18A vs. 15A) provides additional operational margin.

Q: What is the difference between gold and tin contact finishes?

A: Contact mating finish affects contact resistance and corrosion resistance. Gold provides superior corrosion resistance and lower contact resistance. Tin offers cost efficiency with adequate performance in standard industrial environments. Selection depends on application requirements for contact reliability and environmental exposure.

Q: Are the housing material differences between PA46 and PA66 significant?

A: Both materials meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and operate within the specified -40°C to 105°C temperature range. PA66 (Nylon 6/6) offers slightly higher mechanical strength and temperature stability. PA46 (Nylon 4/6) provides adequate performance for standard terminal block applications. Material selection does not affect electrical or thermal performance within specified operating conditions.

Q: Why is the original 0395364516 obsolete?

A: Product obsolescence reflects manufacturer lifecycle decisions. The active substitute parts 0395360016 and 0395360516 provide equivalent functionality with current production support and availability.

Q: Are all three parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. The main part 0395364516 and both substitute parts 0395360016 and 0395360516 are ROHS3 compliant, meeting environmental and hazardous substance restrictions.

Q: What packaging is available for the substitute parts?

A: The 0395360016 and 0395360516 are supplied in bulk packaging, suitable for production assembly and component procurement workflows.
