What the 3.81mm Pitch Means for Your Board Layout
Molex 0395140006 is a 6-position plug from the Eurostyle ESE 39514 series, with a 0.150" (3.81mm) pitch that sets the board footprint for the mating header. The 3.81mm spacing is a common terminal-block pitch — dense enough for multi-circuit control wiring but wide enough to keep routing clearance between adjacent traces on a standard PCB. Rated 8 A at 300 V per UL, the plug handles typical industrial signal and low-power distribution circuits. The tin-plated phosphor bronze contacts mate with the header's tin plating — adequate for occasional disconnect cycles in a cabinet environment, though gold would be preferred for frequent field servicing.
Field Termination Without a Crimp Tool
The 180° wire entry and free-hanging mount let you land the plug directly into a mating header on the board or panel. The mating flange on the plug aligns with the header's flange holes — the M2 screws lock the pair together, preventing vibration loosening in a machine cabinet. Operating range from -40°C to 115°C covers most indoor and outdoor industrial enclosures, though the upper limit is below automotive underhood temperatures.
ROHS3 Compliant. The base product number is 039514; the -0006 suffix specifies the 6-position, bulk package variant.
