Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The 560-005-000-311 belongs to the Mercury 560 series rectangular connector family. Substitution within this series is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Number of Positions: 5
• Pitch: 0.098" (2.50mm)
• Connector Type: Plug
• Contact Type: Male Pin
• Number of Rows: 1
• Mounting Type: Free Hanging (In-Line)
• Contact Termination: Crimp
• Fastening Type: Latch Holder
• Insulation Material: Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT)
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C ~ 105°C
• Features: Waterproof

The substitute part 560-005-000-111 maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters. The only difference is the housing color (Blue vs. White), which does not affect functional compatibility or performance characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 560-005-000-311 and 560-005-000-111 are Active status components from Mercury United Electronics, Inc., with identical ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. Selection between these parts should be based on color specification requirements for your application. The 560-005-000-311 (Blue) and 560-005-000-111 (White) are functionally and mechanically interchangeable across all electrical parameters, mechanical dimensions, and environmental operating conditions. Inventory availability may also influence part selection, with 560-005-000-111 currently showing higher stock levels (1447 pcs vs. 1123 pcs).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 560-005-000-111 (White) be used as a direct replacement for 560-005-000-311 (Blue)?

A: Yes. The parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The only difference is housing color. If color specification is not a functional requirement, direct substitution is possible.

Q: Are the contact positions and pitch identical between these parts?

A: Yes. Both parts feature 5 positions at 0.098" (2.50mm) pitch in a single-row configuration. Mating and contact alignment are identical.

Q: Do both parts support the same operating temperature range?

A: Yes. Both parts operate across -40°C to 105°C. Thermal performance and material properties are equivalent.

Q: Are both parts RoHS and REACH compliant?

A: Yes. Both parts are ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory standards.

Q: What is the MSL rating for these connector housings?

A: Both parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, indicating no moisture sensitivity limitations for storage or handling.

Q: Are contacts included with these housing assemblies?

A: No. Both parts are housings only. Contacts must be sourced separately and crimped into the housing assembly.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in existing designs?

A: Yes, provided color specification is not a design constraint. All mechanical, electrical, and environmental parameters are identical, allowing direct substitution in PCB layouts and connector assemblies.
