Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The 3M 10250-0210EC is identified as a manufacturer-recommended substitute for the 3565-1000. Substitution eligibility is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Number of Positions: Both parts feature 50 positions
• Number of Rows: Both parts feature 2 rows
• Connector Type: Both are receptacles
• Mounting Type: Both are free-hanging (in-line) configurations
• Termination Method: Both use IDC termination
• Contact Finish: Both feature gold plating at 30.0µin (0.76µm) thickness
• RoHS Compliance: Both are RoHS compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: Both are MSL 1 (Unlimited)

The 10250-0210EC represents an active product from the 102 series (Mini D Ribbon) family, providing functional and electrical equivalence to the obsolete 3565-1000.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 3M 10250-0210EC is the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete 3565-1000. Both connectors meet identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters: 50-position, 2-row configuration, IDC termination, gold contact finish, and free-hanging mounting.

The 10250-0210EC offers the advantage of active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain support. Both parts maintain RoHS compliance and identical moisture sensitivity ratings, supporting deployment in equivalent environmental conditions.

The primary mechanical difference is the flange feature: the 3565-1000 uses an unthreaded housing/shell, while the 10250-0210EC incorporates an M2.6 threaded housing/shell. This difference must be evaluated against the mechanical mounting requirements of the target application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What makes the 10250-0210EC a valid substitute for the 3565-1000?

A: Both connectors share identical electrical and mechanical specifications: 50 positions, 2 rows, receptacle type, free-hanging in-line mounting, IDC termination, and gold contact finish at 30.0µin thickness. Both are RoHS compliant with MSL 1 rating.

Q: What is the difference between the flange features?

A: The 3565-1000 features an unthreaded housing/shell, while the 10250-0210EC includes an M2.6 threaded housing/shell. The threaded design in the substitute part provides additional mechanical mounting options. Compatibility depends on the mechanical mounting interface of the target application.

Q: Are both connectors available for new designs?

A: The 3565-1000 is obsolete and no longer recommended for new designs. The 10250-0210EC is an active product and is the appropriate choice for both legacy system support and new applications requiring 50-position IDC receptacle connectors.

Q: Do both connectors meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both the 3565-1000 and 10250-0210EC are RoHS compliant, carry EAR99 export classification, and share the same HTSUS code (8536.69.4051). Both maintain MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating.

Q: What packaging is available for the substitute part?

A: The 10250-0210EC is supplied in tray packaging. The 3565-1000 packaging specification was not provided in the available data.
