Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the AXE160527D are qualified based on the following critical parameters that must remain constant:

• Number of positions: 60
• Pitch: 0.016" (0.40mm)
• Number of rows: 2
• Connector type: Socket, Center Strip Contacts
• Mounting type: Surface Mount
• Contact finish: Gold
• Mated stacking heights: 0.8mm
• Height above board: 0.030" (0.75mm)
• Features: Solder Retention
• RoHS compliance: Required

The two qualified substitutes differ in series designation and product status. AXE560127 represents an active alternative from the A4S series with expanded stacking height options. AXE160124 maintains the original A4US series designation while offering active product status with current manufacturing support.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both substitute parts maintain full electrical and mechanical compatibility with the AXE160527D across all critical parameters. Selection between substitutes should be based on product status and supply chain considerations.

AXE160124 is recommended for applications requiring continuity within the A4US series family. This part maintains the original series designation while providing active product status and current manufacturing availability.

AXE560127 is suitable for applications where series transition is acceptable. This part offers active status and expanded mated stacking height options (0.8mm and 1mm), providing additional design flexibility. The A4S series designation indicates a different connector family within the Panasonic rectangular connector portfolio.

Both substitutes carry RoHS compliance certification and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating, matching the environmental and regulatory requirements of the original part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can AXE160527D be directly replaced with AXE560127 or AXE160124?

A: Both substitutes maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters including position count, pitch, row configuration, contact finish, mounting type, and stacking heights. Direct replacement is supported from a functional standpoint.

Q: What is the difference between the A4US and A4S series designations?

A: The series designation indicates the connector family within Panasonic's rectangular connector portfolio. AXE160124 maintains the A4US series, while AXE560127 transitions to the A4S series. Both series share compatible electrical and mechanical characteristics for this 60-position configuration.

Q: Does packaging format affect connector performance?

A: Packaging format (Tape & Reel) affects handling, storage, and assembly processes but does not alter electrical or mechanical performance. Both substitute parts are supplied in Tape & Reel packaging suitable for automated assembly operations.

Q: Are there stacking height differences between substitutes?

A: AXE160124 maintains the single mated stacking height of 0.8mm. AXE560127 supports both 0.8mm and 1mm mated stacking heights, providing additional design flexibility for applications requiring increased stacking clearance.

Q: What is the significance of the obsolete status for AXE160527D?

A: Obsolete status indicates the part is no longer in active production. The listed substitutes with active status ensure continued availability and manufacturing support for new designs and production requirements.
