Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 565-003-000-310 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Contact Configuration: Must be Plug with Male Pin contacts
• Position Count & Pitch: Must maintain 3 positions at 0.098" (2.50mm) pitch
• Row Configuration: Must be single-row design
• Mounting & Termination: Must support free-hanging in-line mounting with crimp termination
• Fastening Mechanism: Must utilize latch-based fastening
• Environmental Sealing: Must maintain waterproof capability
• Compliance Standards: Must meet ROHS3 and REACH requirements

The substitute part 560-003-000-310 meets all critical functional parameters. Variations in color (Blue vs. Black) and fastening type designation (Latch Holder vs. Latch Lock) do not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility, as both represent latch-based fastening mechanisms within the same connector family.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 560-003-000-310 is the direct functional equivalent for the obsolete 565-003-000-310. Both parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters: 3-position configuration, 2.50mm pitch, male pin contacts, crimp termination, and waterproof design.

The substitute part offers the advantage of active product status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain reliability. Both parts maintain full ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic component deployment.

The color difference (Blue vs. Black) and fastening type designation (Latch Holder vs. Latch Lock) represent design variations within the same connector family and do not impact functional compatibility or performance in equivalent applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 560-003-000-310 directly replace the 565-003-000-310 in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical specifications for connector type, position count, pitch, mounting configuration, termination method, and waterproof capability. The parts are mechanically and electrically interchangeable.

Q: Does the color difference affect connector performance?

A: No. Color is a visual identifier only and does not affect electrical or mechanical function. The color variation reflects design iteration within the Mercury United Electronics connector family.

Q: What is the significance of the fastening type difference (Latch Lock vs. Latch Holder)?

A: Both designations describe latch-based fastening mechanisms. This variation reflects nomenclature differences in the product line and does not impact the mechanical retention or connection reliability.

Q: Why is the 565-003-000-310 listed as obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates the part is no longer in active production. The 560-003-000-310 serves as the current production equivalent, maintaining all functional specifications while ensuring ongoing supply availability.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences between these parts?

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

Q: Can contacts from one part be used interchangeably with the other?

A: Yes. Both housings accept the same crimp-terminated male pin contacts, as they share identical position count and pitch specifications.
