Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the Cinch 10-140 are identified based on strict equivalence of the following critical parameters:

• Number of circuits: 10
• Pitch spacing: 0.375" (9.53mm)
• Number of rows: 2
• Number of wire entries: 20
• Current rating: 15A
• Terminal block type: Barrier block
• Top termination: Screws
• Bottom termination: Closed
• Barrier type: 2 Wall (Dual)
• Mounting type: Chassis, Panel
• Features: Flange
• Color: Black
• Terminal screw material: Steel

The Molex 0387600110 and Molex 0387700110 meet all critical substitution criteria. Both parts maintain identical circuit count, pitch, row configuration, current rating, and mechanical mounting characteristics. Voltage rating differences (300V vs. 250V) represent an upgrade capability. Wire gauge acceptance ranges (14-22 AWG vs. fixed 16 AWG) provide broader compatibility. Insulation material and flammability ratings differ but do not prevent functional substitution in applications where the original specifications are met.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both Molex substitute parts maintain active product status and full regulatory compliance. The Molex 0387600110 and 0387700110 are ROHS3 compliant with UL94 V-0 flammability ratings, exceeding the baseline RoHS compliance of the Cinch 10-140. All three parts carry REACH Unaffected status and identical export classification (EAR99). The Molex substitutes provide higher voltage rating capability (300V vs. 250V) and broader wire gauge acceptance (14-22 AWG vs. 16 AWG fixed), supporting expanded application flexibility. Terminal screw finish differs (Nickel vs. Zinc, Clear Chromate), reflecting different corrosion resistance profiles suitable for varying environmental conditions. Insulation material composition varies across the three parts, with the Molex options offering thermoplastic and PBT alternatives to the phenolic base material of the original part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Molex 0387600110 and 0387700110 be used interchangeably with the Cinch 10-140?

A: Yes. Both Molex parts meet all critical substitution parameters: 10 circuits, 0.375" pitch, 2 rows, 20 wire entries, 15A current rating, dual-wall barrier construction, screw top termination, closed bottom termination, flange mounting, and chassis/panel mounting capability. All three parts are actively manufactured and regulatory compliant.

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

A: The primary difference is insulation material composition. The Molex 0387600110 uses thermoplastic insulation, while the 0387700110 uses polybutylene terephthalate (PBT). Both maintain identical electrical specifications, current rating, voltage rating, and mechanical configuration. Selection between these two depends on application-specific insulation material requirements.

Q: Are there voltage rating differences that affect substitution?

A: The Cinch 10-140 is rated for 250V, while both Molex substitutes are rated for 300V. The higher voltage rating of the Molex parts represents an upgrade capability and does not prevent substitution in 250V applications. Applications requiring 300V operation benefit from the Molex options.

Q: What wire gauge compatibility should be considered?

A: The Cinch 10-140 accepts 16 AWG wire. Both Molex substitutes accept 14-22 AWG wire range. This broader acceptance range in the Molex parts provides flexibility for applications using wire gauges within this range. The original 16 AWG specification remains compatible with all three parts.

Q: How do terminal screw finishes differ?

A: The Cinch 10-140 features nickel-finished steel screws. Both Molex substitutes use zinc with clear chromate finish. These represent different corrosion resistance profiles. Nickel finish provides one type of environmental protection, while zinc with clear chromate provides an alternative. Selection depends on specific environmental exposure and corrosion resistance requirements of the application.

Q: Are all three parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The Cinch 10-140 is RoHS Compliant. Both Molex substitutes are ROHS3 Compliant. All three parts carry REACH Unaffected status. Regulatory compliance is maintained across all options.
