Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the M7565-46 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Number of Positions: 2 (1 x 2) configuration
• Pitch: 0.100" (2.54mm) standard spacing
• Type: Open Top design
• Gender: Female Sockets
• Height: 0.248" (6.30mm)
• Voltage Rating: 250V minimum
• Current Rating: 3A minimum
• Housing Material: Polyester, Glass Filled
• Color: Gray
• Series: M75 (Harwin Inc.)

The M7565-05 qualifies as a direct substitute based on identical mechanical and electrical specifications. The primary difference is the contact finish material, which transitions from tin to gold plating. This change does not affect functional compatibility within the specified electrical parameters.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The M7565-05 is the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete M7565-46. Both components maintain identical mechanical dimensions, electrical ratings, and compliance certifications. The M7565-05 carries active product status with significantly higher inventory availability (3849 pcs vs. 662 pcs), ensuring long-term supply chain reliability.

Both parts satisfy ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, maintaining regulatory alignment for current manufacturing standards. The contact finish difference (gold vs. tin) does not compromise electrical performance within the specified 250V/3A operating envelope.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can M7565-05 be used as a direct replacement for M7565-46?

A: Yes. Both components share identical mechanical and electrical specifications, including position count, pitch, height, voltage rating, and current rating. The parts are mechanically and electrically interchangeable.

Q: What is the difference between the tin and gold contact finishes?

A: The M7565-46 uses tin plating at 118.1µin thickness, while the M7565-05 uses gold plating at 5.11µin thickness. Both finishes meet the 250V/3A electrical requirements. Gold plating typically offers enhanced corrosion resistance and contact reliability in certain environmental conditions.

Q: Why is M7565-46 listed as obsolete?

A: Product obsolescence is determined by the manufacturer. The M7565-05 is the active replacement within the same M75 series, offering equivalent functionality with improved supply availability.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The M7565-46 is packaged as specified in the original configuration, while the M7565-05 is supplied in bulk packaging. Both maintain the same component specifications and performance characteristics.

Q: Do both parts meet current regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. Both the M7565-46 and M7565-05 are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current regulatory standards for electronic component manufacturing and distribution.
