What it is and where it sits in the series
The Molex 393570005 is a 5-position Eurostyle 39357 terminal block with a 0.138-inch (3.50 mm) pitch and screw rising cage clamp termination. It mounts horizontally through-hole to a PCB and is rated 12 A per circuit at 300 V, covering 16–28 AWG wire. The clamp and screw are nickel-plated copper alloy; the contact is tin-plated copper alloy — a plating grade suited to permanent wire-to-board connections rather than high-cycle field mating.
Ratings that drive the fit check
Pitch is 0.138 inch (3.50 mm) — confirm this matches the PCB pad footprint and that row-to-row spacing clears any tall components on a dense board layout. With 5 positions at 3.50 mm, the overall housing width is modest and compatible with single-row or narrow two-row panel layouts. Current rating is 12 A per circuit at 300 V — the rating governs wire-to-board power distribution at the panel level, not high-current bus bars. The 16–28 AWG wire gauge range confirms signal and low-power distribution rather than heavy in-rush or motor-branch circuits. The PA/Nylon housing operates to 105°C, which gives headroom above most industrial enclosure ambient. Contact plating is tin on the mating/termination side, with nickel plating on the clamp and screw — both grades resist oxidation in the panel environment but the tin surface is not specified for high-cycle reconnect duty. For connections that will be made and broken repeatedly in the field, this is a permanent-connection termination, not a mate-before-use connector.
Lifecycle and compliance
The 393570005 carries an Active lifecycle status and ROHS3 Compliant designation — no end-of-life notice or NRND flag is on record. Quoted to order against BOM quantity. No official successor or cross-reference is listed for this order code. The pitch, position count, and current rating define the BOM line match — confirm the mating half and panel cutout for any substitute.
