Product details

The 398890042: Active lifecycle status. ROHS3 compliant. No EOL notice or successor on record.

How it compares — 395443005

The closest functional peer is the Eurostyle ESE 39544 series 395443005 — also a 0.200" (5.08mm) pitch, 300 V, black PA66 housing, horizontal board-entry block. Key differences: the 395443005 has 5 positions (vs 2), uses a rising cage clamp (vs a simple screw clamp), is rated 15 A (vs 17.5 A), and its clamp material is steel with zinc plating (vs copper alloy nickel). The 398890042 will not drop into a panel wired for the 395443005 without rewiring — the screw-clamp termination and position count are different. Buyers cross-referencing an existing 395443005 BOM should verify the wire termination style and current requirement before substituting.

Frequently asked questions

What compliance documentation does Molex provide for 398890042?

The 398890042 is ROHS3 Compliant. For full documentation — material declarations, REACH statements, or any UL/VDE certification — request the official CoC and test reports through your distributor at time of quote.

Will 398890042 drop into a panel specified around 395443005 without rewiring?

Both parts share the same 0.200" (5.08 mm) pitch and through-hole mount, and both are side-entry screw-clamp terminal blocks, but the 398890042 is a 2-position unit versus the 5-position (395443005) and 8-position (395443008) members of the Eurostyle ESE 39544 series — they are not direct pin-compatible replacements. If the panel was laid out for a 5-position block, a 2-position unit will not fill those extra three positions; wiring changes would be required. Confirm circuit count match before substituting.
