Mercury United Electronics 565-002-000-310 Rectangular Connector Plug Housing

Part Overview

The 565-002-000-310 is a 2-position rectangular connector plug housing manufactured by Mercury United Electronics, Inc. This component is classified as obsolete, making identification of suitable substitute parts essential for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations. The housing accommodates male pin contacts with a 2.50mm pitch and features waterproof construction with latch lock fastening. As an obsolete product, equivalent alternatives must be evaluated to ensure design continuity and supply chain reliability.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 565-002-000-310 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Core Electrical and Mechanical Compatibility Criteria:

• Connector type: Plug housing
• Contact type: Male pin
• Number of positions: 2
• Pitch: 0.098" (2.50mm)
• Number of rows: 1
• Mounting type: Free Hanging (In-Line)
• Contact termination: Crimp
• Waterproof feature requirement

The substitute part 560-002-000-310 meets all core compatibility requirements. While differences exist in fastening type (latch holder versus latch lock) and color (blue versus black), these variations do not affect the fundamental electrical or mechanical interface compatibility. The substitute maintains identical positional configuration, pitch spacing, and termination method required for direct functional replacement.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 560-002-000-310 serves as a direct functional substitute for the obsolete 565-002-000-310. Both components are manufactured by Mercury United Electronics, Inc., and maintain identical electrical and mechanical interface specifications across all critical parameters: 2-position configuration, 2.50mm pitch, male pin contact type, crimp termination, and waterproof construction.

The substitute part offers the advantage of active product status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain stability. Both components maintain ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating, satisfying regulatory and environmental requirements. The operating temperature range of -40°C to 105°C specified for the substitute part provides defined thermal performance boundaries for system design.

Differences in fastening mechanism (latch holder versus latch lock) and housing color (blue versus black) represent non-functional variations that do not compromise interface compatibility or electrical performance. These distinctions are secondary to the core mechanical and electrical compatibility requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 560-002-000-310 directly replace the 565-002-000-310 in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. Both components share identical connector type, contact configuration, pitch spacing, mounting method, and termination type. The substitute maintains full mechanical and electrical interface compatibility.

Q: What is the significance of the fastening type difference between these parts?

A: The fastening type difference (latch lock versus latch holder) affects the mechanical engagement mechanism but does not alter the fundamental connector interface. Both fastening methods provide secure connection within the 2-position, 2.50mm pitch housing specification.

Q: Are there compliance or regulatory differences between these parts?

A: No. Both components are ROHS3 compliant and carry identical moisture sensitivity ratings. Both are unaffected by REACH regulations and classified under EAR99 export control.

Q: Why is the 565-002-000-310 listed as obsolete?

A: Product obsolescence is determined by manufacturer discontinuation. The 560-002-000-310 represents the active equivalent offering from Mercury United Electronics, Inc., with identical core specifications and continued manufacturing support.

Q: Does the color difference affect electrical or mechanical performance?

A: No. Color is a cosmetic distinction that does not impact electrical conductivity, mechanical fit, or functional performance. Selection between black and blue housing is determined by application-specific requirements or system identification standards.

Q: What is the significance of the operating temperature specification for the substitute part?

A: The -40°C to 105°C operating temperature range defines the thermal performance envelope for the 560-002-000-310. This specification should be evaluated against system thermal requirements to ensure adequate performance margins.
