Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Molex 0395943010 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Position Count & Pitch: 10 positions at 0.200" (5.08mm) spacing
• Electrical Ratings: Minimum 15 A current and 300 V voltage capability
• Mechanical Interface: Horizontal with board orientation, through-hole PCB mounting
• Termination Method: Screw-based rising cage clamp wire termination
• Environmental Compliance: ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating

The Phoenix Contact 1715802 meets these core substitution criteria with equivalent position count, pitch, current/voltage ratings, mounting type, and termination method. Wire gauge acceptance differs (14-30 AWG vs. 12-30 AWG), representing a narrower but compatible range for typical applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the Molex 0395943010 and Phoenix Contact 1715802 are Active products with ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 ratings, confirming suitability for production and long-term availability. Selection between these parts should be based on:

• Wire Gauge Compatibility: The Molex part accepts 12-30 AWG, while the Phoenix Contact part accepts 14-30 AWG. Applications requiring 12 AWG wire termination must use the Molex part.
• Torque Specification: Molex specifies 0.51 Nm (4.5 Lb-In) screw torque; Phoenix Contact specifies 0.5-0.6 Nm (4.4-5.3 Lb-In). Both ranges are compatible for standard assembly procedures.
• Supply Chain: Verify inventory availability and lead times with your supplier, as both parts are in stock.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Phoenix Contact 1715802 replace the Molex 0395943010 in all applications?

A: The Phoenix Contact 1715802 is electrically and mechanically compatible for applications using 14-30 AWG wire. Applications requiring 12 AWG wire termination must use the Molex part, as the Phoenix Contact part does not support this wire gauge.

Q: Are the screw torque specifications compatible?

A: Yes. The Molex specification of 0.51 Nm falls within the Phoenix Contact range of 0.5-0.6 Nm, ensuring compatible assembly procedures.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant, carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) ratings, and hold Active product status, confirming equivalent environmental and regulatory compliance.

Q: What is the pitch spacing, and is it the same for both parts?

A: Both parts use 0.200" (5.08mm) pitch spacing, ensuring identical PCB layout compatibility and mechanical interchangeability.

Q: Are there any differences in housing material?

A: Both parts use polyamide (PA/Nylon) housing materials, providing equivalent mechanical and thermal properties for standard applications.
