Substitute Part Grouping Explanation
Substitution of the 565-003-420-101 is based on electrical and mechanical compatibility across the following critical parameters:
- Connector Configuration: 3-position, single-row, vertical orientation
- Pitch Specification: 0.098" (2.50mm) mating pitch
- Electrical Ratings: 3A current capacity, 250V voltage rating
- Mechanical Interface: Through-hole solder termination, shrouded 4-wall design
- Environmental Performance: IP67 ingress protection, -40°C to 105°C operating range
- Compliance: ROHS3 compliance, UL94 V-0 flammability rating
The substitute part 560-003-420-101 meets all critical electrical and mechanical parameters required for functional equivalence.
