What it is and where it sits
The Molex 393570009 is a 9-circuit single-level Eurostyle 39357 terminal block, side-entry with horizontal through-hole PCB orientation. The rising cage clamp accepts 16-28 AWG conductors and is torque-set with an M3 nickel-plated screw at 0.31 Nm — the torque spec is what drives the field-wiring tool selection, not the wire gauge alone.
What the ratings mean for selection
Rated 12 A per circuit at 300 V. The contact is tin-plated copper alloy rated for the current, though tin-tin interfaces work-harden under repeated insertion compared to gold-flash options. Operating range is -40°C to 105°C in a black PA nylon housing.
Sourcing and compliance
Listed Active with ROHS3 Compliant status — no lifecycle watch flags. Quoted to order against the BOM quantity; confirm position count matches the board layout before committing. No official successor or cross-reference for this order code, so second-source qualification against a parametric peer requires a footprint and rating check rather than a drop-in swap.
