Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 565-290-741 is valid when the following parameters remain identical:

• Manufacturer: Mercury United Electronics, Inc.
• Series: 565
• Base Product Number: 565-290
• Type: Stamped
• Pin or Socket: Socket
• Contact Termination: Crimp
• Wire Gauge: 20-22 AWG
• Contact Finish: Tin
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• MSL Rating: 1 (Unlimited)

The primary difference between the main part and its substitute is packaging format. The 565-290-741P60 is supplied in Strip packaging with a quantity of 60 pieces per unit, whereas the 565-290-741 is supplied in Tape & Reel packaging. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical characteristics and are functionally interchangeable.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 565-290-741 and 565-290-741P60 are active products with identical ROHS3 compliance and MSL ratings. Selection between these parts should be based on packaging requirements and assembly process compatibility.

The 565-290-741 in Tape & Reel packaging is suitable for automated pick-and-place assembly operations. The 565-290-741P60 in Strip packaging is suitable for manual assembly or applications where bulk quantities in strip format are preferred. Both parts maintain full compliance with REACH and EAR99 classifications.
