EM359307VC Terminal Block Header - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The EM359307VC is a 7-position terminal block header manufactured by Eaton Electronics Division, designed for vertical through-hole mounting with 0.150" (3.81mm) pitch spacing. This shrouded male pin header operates at 6 A (UL) and 160 V (UL) with an operating temperature range of -40°C to 105°C. The component is part of the Euro-Mag EM3593 series and maintains active product status. Equivalent and substitute parts are identified to support procurement flexibility, inventory management, and design continuity when the primary part becomes unavailable or when alternative specifications better suit application requirements.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the EM359307VC is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Number of Positions: 7
• Pitch: 0.150" (3.81mm)
• Header Orientation: Vertical
• Type: Header, Male Pins, Shrouded (4 Side)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Termination Style: Solder
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0
• Contact Mating Finish: Tin

Allowable Variation Parameters:

• Current Rating (UL): Substitute parts rated at 8 A exceed the 6 A requirement and are acceptable for applications within the original 6 A specification
• Voltage Rating (UL): Substitute parts rated at 300 V exceed the 160 V requirement and are acceptable for applications within the original 160 V specification
• Housing Material: Thermoplastic (original) may be substituted with Polyamide (PA66), Nylon 6/6, or Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT) provided mechanical and thermal performance remain within application limits
• Insulation Height: Minor variations (0.360" to 0.362") are within acceptable tolerance for through-hole mounting applications
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3-compliant substitutes are acceptable for new designs; original part is RoHS non-compliant

All three identified substitute parts meet these criteria and are classified as direct functional equivalents.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

EM359307VC (Eaton Electronics Division): Primary component with active product status. Suitable for applications requiring 6 A at 160 V with thermoplastic housing. RoHS non-compliant status restricts use in new designs subject to RoHS3 regulations. Current inventory: 750 pcs.

0395111007 (Molex Eurostyle ESE 39511): Direct functional equivalent with enhanced electrical ratings (8 A, 300 V). ROHS3-compliant housing material (Polyamide PA66/Nylon 6/6) supports modern procurement requirements. Black color housing distinguishes this variant. MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited) indicates superior moisture handling. Recommended for new designs and RoHS-regulated applications. Current inventory: 2086 pcs.

0395116007 (Molex Eurostyle ESE 39511): Direct functional equivalent with enhanced electrical ratings (8 A, 300 V). ROHS3-compliant housing material (Polyamide PA66/Nylon 6/6) supports modern procurement requirements. Green color housing matches original EM359307VC aesthetic. MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited) indicates superior moisture handling. Recommended for color-matched replacements and RoHS-regulated applications. Current inventory: 1829 pcs.

1803471 (Phoenix Contact COMBICON MCV): Direct functional equivalent with enhanced electrical ratings (8 A at IEC, 300 V at UL). Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT) housing provides alternative material composition. ROHS3-compliant and MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating. Contact tail length specification (0.134") provides additional dimensional reference. Green color housing matches original. REACH status confirmed as unaffected. Current inventory: 2211 pcs.

Selection Criteria:

• For RoHS3-compliant designs: Select 0395111007, 0395116007, or 1803471
• For color matching with original: Select 0395116007 or 1803471
• For maximum inventory availability: Select 0395111007
• For alternative housing material: Select 1803471 (PBT vs. PA66)

All substitute parts maintain active product status and support through-hole solder termination on standard PCB layouts.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the EM359307VC be directly replaced with any of the listed substitutes without PCB redesign?

A: Yes. All substitute parts maintain identical pitch (0.150"/3.81mm), vertical orientation, 7-position configuration, and through-hole solder termination. Insulation height variations (0.360" to 0.362") are within standard PCB tolerance. No PCB redesign is required for mechanical or electrical compatibility.

Q: What is the significance of the higher current and voltage ratings on the Molex and Phoenix Contact substitutes?

A: The substitute parts are rated at 8 A (UL) and 300 V (UL) compared to the original 6 A and 160 V. These higher ratings indicate enhanced electrical capability and provide design margin for applications operating at or near the original specifications. Applications designed for 6 A at 160 V operate safely within the substitute part ratings.

Q: Are there any compatibility issues with the different housing materials?

A: No. Thermoplastic (original), Polyamide PA66/Nylon 6/6 (Molex), and Polybutylene Terephthalate (Phoenix Contact) all meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and support the specified operating temperature range. Material selection does not affect electrical performance or mechanical fit in standard applications.

Q: Why is RoHS compliance important for this component?

A: RoHS3 compliance restricts hazardous substances (lead, cadmium, mercury, etc.) in electrical components. The original EM359307VC is RoHS non-compliant, limiting its use in new designs subject to RoHS3 regulations (EU, China, and other jurisdictions). All substitute parts are ROHS3-compliant, supporting modern procurement and regulatory requirements.

Q: What does MSL 1 (Unlimited) mean for the substitute parts?

A: Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited) indicates the component can be stored indefinitely without moisture-related degradation. This contrasts with the original part's "Not Applicable" MSL rating. Higher MSL ratings reduce risk of solder joint failures caused by moisture absorption during storage and handling.

Q: Can I use the black-colored 0395111007 in place of the green EM359307VC?

A: Electrically and mechanically, yes. However, if color coding is critical for assembly identification or visual inspection, the green-colored alternatives (0395116007 or 1803471) provide aesthetic matching with the original component.

Q: Are all substitute parts available in the same packaging format?

A: Yes. All parts are supplied in Bulk packaging, consistent with the original EM359307VC. No special packaging considerations apply to substitution.

Q: Which substitute part offers the best long-term availability?

A: All substitute parts maintain active product status. Molex (0395111007 and 0395116007) and Phoenix Contact (1803471) are established manufacturers with broad distribution networks. Current inventory levels (2086, 1829, and 2211 pcs respectively) exceed the original part (750 pcs), supporting sustained procurement.
