Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the AXE236124A is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type: Header with outer shroud contacts (mechanical and electrical interface requirement)
• Number of Positions: 36 positions (pin count and signal routing requirement)
• Pitch: 0.016" (0.40mm) (PCB layout and mating compatibility requirement)
• Number of Rows: 2 rows (physical arrangement and contact density requirement)
• Mounting Type: Surface mount (assembly process and board integration requirement)
• Contact Finish: Gold (electrical performance and corrosion resistance requirement)
• Mated Stacking Height: 0.8mm (mechanical clearance requirement)
• Height Above Board: 0.026" (0.65mm) (component profile and assembly space requirement)
• RoHS Compliance: Required (regulatory and environmental requirement)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: MSL 1 (storage and handling requirement)

The AXE636124A meets all substitution criteria and is classified as an equivalent alternative.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the AXE236124A and AXE636124A are classified as obsolete products. Selection between these parts should be based on current inventory availability and supply chain considerations. The AXE236124A currently maintains 1731 pieces in stock, while the AXE636124A has 1379 pieces available. Both parts carry identical electrical and mechanical specifications, RoHS compliance certification, and MSL 1 rating. The distinction between series designations (A4US versus A4S) does not affect functional compatibility given the alignment of all critical substitution parameters. Component selection should prioritize inventory status and lead time requirements for your specific application timeline.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can AXE636124A directly replace AXE236124A in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical connector type, position count, pitch, row configuration, mounting method, contact finish, stacking height, and board profile. All electrical and mechanical parameters align, supporting direct substitution without PCB or assembly process modifications.

Q: What is the significance of the series designation difference (A4US vs. A4S)?

A: The series designation reflects internal Panasonic product line organization. This difference does not impact electrical performance, mechanical compatibility, or physical dimensions. Both series maintain identical specifications for all substitution-critical parameters.

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

A: No. Both parts are RoHS compliant and carry MSL 1 rating, indicating identical environmental handling requirements and regulatory status. No additional certifications or compliance considerations differentiate these components.

Q: What should drive the selection decision between these two obsolete parts?

A: Inventory availability and supply chain lead time are the primary selection drivers. The AXE236124A offers higher current stock levels (1731 vs. 1379 pieces). For new production or design updates, either part is functionally equivalent and can be selected based on procurement timeline and inventory requirements.

Q: Is the gold contact finish consistent across both parts?

A: Yes. Both the AXE236124A and AXE636124A feature gold contact finish with identical mated stacking height (0.8mm) and height above board (0.026" / 0.65mm), ensuring consistent electrical performance and mechanical fit in mating applications.
