Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 565-002-000-311 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type: Must be Plug
• Contact Type: Must be Male Pin
• Number of Positions: Must be 2
• Pitch: Must be 0.098" (2.50mm)
• Number of Rows: Must be 1
• Mounting Type: Must be Free Hanging (In-Line)
• Contact Termination: Must be Crimp
• Features: Must include Waterproof capability

The substitute part 560-002-000-311 meets all core electrical and mechanical compatibility requirements. Variations in color (Blue vs. Black), fastening type (Latch Holder vs. Latch Lock), and series designation do not affect functional interchangeability within the connector housing category, provided all primary parameters remain constant.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 560-002-000-311 is the direct functional equivalent for applications currently using the 565-002-000-311. Both parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters: 2-position configuration, 2.50mm pitch, male pin contacts, crimp termination, and waterproof design.

The 560-002-000-311 offers the advantage of active product status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain reliability. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and carry MSL rating 1, meeting environmental and moisture sensitivity requirements for standard industrial applications.

The 560-002-000-311 provides documented operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 105°C) and specified insulation material (PBT), offering additional technical transparency for design verification. These specifications are consistent with the connector housing category and do not introduce incompatibility with existing mating components.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 560-002-000-311 directly replace the 565-002-000-311 in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical connector type, contact configuration, pitch, position count, and mounting specifications. The 560-002-000-311 is electrically and mechanically compatible as a direct substitute.

Q: Does the color difference (Black vs. Blue) affect compatibility?

A: No. Color is a visual identifier and does not impact electrical or mechanical function. Selection between black and blue housings is determined by application requirements or system identification standards, not compatibility.

Q: What is the difference between Latch Lock and Latch Holder fastening types?

A: Both fastening types provide secure connector retention. The specific fastening mechanism differs, but both achieve the same functional outcome of maintaining connector engagement. Selection depends on application-specific mating interface requirements.

Q: Are contacts included with these connector housings?

A: No. Both the 565-002-000-311 and 560-002-000-311 are housings only. Contacts must be sourced separately and crimped into the housing according to manufacturer specifications.

Q: What is the significance of the 560-002-000-311 being Active status while the 565-002-000-311 is Obsolete?

A: Active status indicates the 560-002-000-311 remains in current production with guaranteed supply availability. This makes it the preferred choice for new designs and ongoing procurement where the 565-002-000-311 is no longer manufactured.

Q: Are both parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. Both the 565-002-000-311 and 560-002-000-311 meet ROHS3 compliance requirements and carry MSL rating 1 (Unlimited), suitable for standard industrial and commercial applications.
