Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 565-005-000-310 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type: Must be Plug
• Contact Type: Must be Male Pin
• Number of Positions: Must be 5
• 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 560-005-000-310 meets all critical electrical and mechanical parameters required for functional equivalence. Variations in color, fastening type detail, and insulation material do not affect core connector functionality when these primary parameters align.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 560-005-000-310 is the qualified substitute for the obsolete 565-005-000-310. Both parts are manufactured by Mercury United Electronics, Inc., and maintain ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1). The substitute part carries active product status with confirmed inventory availability, ensuring supply chain continuity.

The substitute maintains all critical connector specifications: 5-position configuration, 2.50mm pitch, male pin contact type, crimp termination, and waterproof design. The difference in fastening type (Latch Holder versus Latch Lock) and housing color (Blue versus Black) does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility when mating with corresponding receptacle housings designed for this connector family.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 560-005-000-310 directly replace the 565-005-000-310 in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications for the connector interface: 5 positions, 2.50mm pitch, male pin contacts, and crimp termination. The housing color difference does not affect functional compatibility.

Q: What is the significance of the different fastening types listed?

A: The fastening type variation (Latch Lock versus Latch Holder) refers to the mechanical locking mechanism of the housing. Both provide secure mating with compatible receptacle housings. Verify your receptacle housing specification to confirm compatibility with the substitute part's fastening mechanism.

Q: Why is the main part listed as obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates the 565-005-000-310 is no longer in active production. The 560-005-000-310 substitute is actively manufactured and stocked, providing a viable alternative for new designs and replacement applications.

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

A: Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance, unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1), and REACH unaffected status. No compliance barriers exist for substitution.

Q: Does the insulation material difference affect performance?

A: The 560-005-000-310 specifies Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT) insulation material with an operating temperature range of -40°C to 105°C. This material and temperature range are standard for this connector class and do not introduce compatibility issues with the main part application.
