Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the EM253509VC is determined by the following critical parameters:

Primary Matching Criteria:

• Number of positions: 9 (fixed requirement)
• Positions per level: 9 (fixed requirement)
• Header orientation: Vertical (fixed requirement)
• Termination style: Solder (fixed requirement)
• Mounting type: Through hole (fixed requirement)
• Type: Male pins, shrouded (4 side) (fixed requirement)

Electrical Compatibility Criteria:

• Voltage - UL: 300 V (minimum requirement)
• Current - UL: 15 A or higher (EM253509VC rated 16 A)

Mechanical Compatibility Criteria:

• Pitch: 0.197" (5.00mm) or 0.200" (5.08mm) are industry-standard alternatives
• Insulation height: 0.472" (12.00mm) or equivalent
• Contact tail length: Variations acceptable within mechanical envelope constraints

Compliance Criteria:

• Material flammability rating: UL94 V-0 (required)
• RoHS status: ROHS3 compliant (required)

Substitute parts are grouped into two categories based on pitch specification: 5.00mm pitch equivalents and 5.08mm pitch alternatives. The 5.08mm pitch variants represent a minor mechanical deviation but maintain full electrical and functional compatibility within standard terminal block applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct Equivalents (5.00mm Pitch, 4-Side Shrouded):

The Molex 0395216009, Phoenix Contact 1755587, and TE Connectivity 796642-9 are direct mechanical and electrical equivalents to the EM253509VC. These parts share identical pitch spacing (0.197" / 5.00mm), vertical orientation, 4-side shrouding, and solder termination. All three maintain UL94 V-0 flammability rating and ROHS3 compliance. The Molex 0395216009 and TE Connectivity 796642-9 both support 15 A UL current rating, while the Phoenix Contact 1755587 is rated for 12 A UL current. For applications requiring the full 16 A capacity of the EM253509VC, the Molex 0395216009 and TE Connectivity 796642-9 are preferred selections.

5.08mm Pitch Alternatives (4-Side Shrouded):

The Molex 0395316009, Phoenix Contact 1924376, and On Shore EDSTLZ955/9 represent pitch-variant substitutes with 0.200" (5.08mm) spacing. These parts maintain all other critical specifications including 9-position configuration, vertical orientation, 4-side shrouding, and solder termination. The Phoenix Contact 1924376 matches the EM253509VC current rating at 16 A UL, while the Molex 0395316009 is rated for 15 A. The On Shore EDSTLZ955/9 provides a 5.08mm pitch alternative with ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 rating. Pitch-variant substitution is permissible only when the PCB layout and mating connector specifications accommodate the 0.08mm (0.003") dimensional difference.

Compliance and Availability:

All substitute parts maintain active production status with confirmed inventory availability. All parts listed carry ROHS3 compliance certification and UL94 V-0 flammability rating, meeting standard industrial safety requirements. The EM253509VC (759 units), Molex 0395216009 (1927 units), and Phoenix Contact 1924376 (778 units) represent the highest inventory availability for immediate procurement.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Molex 0395216009 directly replace the EM253509VC without PCB modification?

A: Yes. The Molex 0395216009 is a direct mechanical and electrical equivalent. Both parts feature identical 0.197" (5.00mm) pitch, 9-position configuration, vertical orientation, 4-side shrouding, and solder termination. No PCB layout changes are required. Both parts are rated for 300 V UL and support 15 A minimum current (EM253509VC rated 16 A, 0395216009 rated 15 A).

Q: What is the difference between 5.00mm and 5.08mm pitch variants?

A: The pitch difference represents a 0.08mm (0.003") spacing variation between contact positions. This dimensional difference requires verification against mating connector specifications and PCB layout constraints. The 5.08mm pitch variants (Molex 0395316009, Phoenix Contact 1924376, On Shore EDSTLZ955/9) are not interchangeable with 5.00mm pitch designs without PCB redesign.

Q: Why does the Phoenix Contact 1755587 have a lower current rating (12 A) compared to the EM253509VC (16 A)?

A: The Phoenix Contact 1755587 is rated for 12 A UL current, which is lower than the EM253509VC 16 A rating. This part is suitable for applications with current requirements up to 12 A. For applications requiring the full 16 A capacity, select the Molex 0395216009, Phoenix Contact 1924376, or TE Connectivity 796642-9.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All substitute parts listed carry ROHS3 compliance certification. The EM253509VC, Molex 0395216009, Molex 0395316009, Phoenix Contact 1755587, Phoenix Contact 1924376, and On Shore EDSTLZ955/9 are all ROHS3 compliant. The TE Connectivity 796642-9 carries RoHS compliance certification.

Q: What is the significance of the 4-side shrouding specification?

A: The 4-side shrouding provides mechanical protection and electrical isolation on all four sides of the terminal block header. This specification is critical for applications requiring enhanced EMI shielding and mechanical robustness. All substitute parts listed maintain 4-side shrouding configuration, ensuring functional equivalence in this regard.

Q: Can the On Shore EDSTLZ955/9 be used as a substitute despite incomplete specification data?

A: The On Shore EDSTLZ955/9 meets the core substitution criteria: 9-position configuration, 5.08mm pitch, vertical orientation, 4-side shrouding, 300 V UL rating, ROHS3 compliance, and UL94 V-0 flammability rating. However, several parameters are not specified in the provided data (current rating, operating temperature, contact mating finish). Verification against application requirements is recommended before selection.

Q: What inventory considerations should guide part selection?

A: The Molex 0395216009 offers the highest inventory availability (1927 units) among direct 5.00mm pitch equivalents. The Phoenix Contact 1924376 provides the highest inventory for 5.08mm pitch variants (3637 units). The EM253509VC maintains 759 units in stock. Selection should balance substitution compatibility with procurement lead time and inventory availability requirements.
