Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 560-003-000-311 be used as a direct replacement for the 560-003-000-310?

A: Yes. Both parts are parametrically equivalent across all electrical and mechanical specifications, including connector type, position count, pitch, termination method, and operating temperature range. They are fully interchangeable within the 560 series connector family.

Q: What determines whether a part can substitute for the 560-003-000-310?

A: Substitution requires identical specifications in connector type (Plug), contact type (Male Pin), number of positions (3), pitch (2.50mm), mounting type (Free Hanging In-Line), contact termination (Crimp), fastening type (Latch Holder), insulation material (PBT), operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 105°C), and waterproof features.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts carry identical ROHS3 compliance, REACH Unaffected status, and Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited) ratings.

Q: Do these parts require contacts to be included?

A: No. Both the 560-003-000-310 and 560-003-000-311 are housing assemblies only. Contacts are not included and must be sourced separately.

Q: What is the operating temperature capability of these connector housings?

A: Both parts operate across the temperature range of -40°C to 105°C, suitable for industrial and commercial applications requiring thermal stability.
