What it is
The Molex 397000802 is the 2-circuit member of the Eurostyle 39700 series — a side-entry through-hole terminal block operating at 5.00 mm pitch (0.197 inch). Rated 10 A per circuit at 300 V, it accepts 14-22 AWG conductors via a screwless push-button clamp that grips the full wire cross-section without a cage screw. The housing is polyamide (PA66, Nylon 6/6) in green, and the contacts are brass tin-plated. Operating range spans -40°C to 105°C.
What the ratings mean for fit
The 5.00 mm pitch governs the PCB footprint and the routing density on adjacent channels — confirm the board land pattern matches before committing. At 10 A per circuit the 397000802 handles signal and moderate power runs; the tin-plated brass contacts are the right choice for a permanently assembled harness where reconnect cycles are low — the plating grade is not the limiting factor here since the push-button mechanism does the work, not repeated mating of the contact itself. The push-button clamp accepts 14-22 AWG — the wire gauge window covers the most common control-wire sizes in industrial automation panels, but confirm the specific gauge being landed falls within that range. Mating orientation is horizontal with the board, which determines the wire entry direction in the enclosure layout. Operating temperature of -40°C to 105°C covers the wide ambient range seen in factory-floor panels; the PA66 housing carries that spec without derating in the listed window.
Series context and sourcing
The Eurostyle 39700 series uses a base product number of 039700. The 397000802 is Active and carries ROHS3 Compliant status — no lifecycle concern on record. Quoted to order against the BOM quantity; no official cross-reference listed.
