AXE240124 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The AXE240124 is a 40-position connector header manufactured by Panasonic Electric Works, designed for surface mount applications with outer shroud contacts and gold plating. This component is classified as an active product with full RoHS compliance and MSL 1 rating, indicating unlimited moisture sensitivity protection. Substitute parts become necessary when the primary part experiences supply constraints, extended lead times, or inventory limitations, requiring functionally equivalent alternatives that maintain electrical and mechanical compatibility within the specified parameter tolerances.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the AXE240124 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters: connector type (Header, Outer Shroud Contacts), position count (40), pitch specification (0.016"/0.40mm), row configuration (2 rows), mounting method (Surface Mount), contact material (Gold), mated stacking height (0.8mm), height above board (0.026"/0.65mm), and solder retention feature. All identified substitutes maintain identical values across these parameters, ensuring direct functional and mechanical compatibility. Compliance certifications including RoHS status and MSL rating remain consistent across all equivalent parts.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts—AXE240124, AXE640124, and BM20B(0.8)-40DP-0.4V(53)—are active products with full RoHS compliance and MSL 1 certification. Selection between these equivalents should be based on availability and supply chain considerations. The AXE640124 (Panasonic) currently maintains the highest inventory level at 5020 pieces, followed by BM20B(0.8)-40DP-0.4V(53) (Hirose) at 1610 pieces, and AXE240124 at 867 pieces. All parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications, ensuring interchangeability within the specified design parameters.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can AXE640124 be used as a direct replacement for AXE240124? A: Yes. Both parts are manufactured by Panasonic Electric Works and maintain identical specifications across all critical parameters including position count, pitch, mounting type, contact finish, and stacking heights. The primary difference is the series designation (A4S versus A4US), which does not affect functional compatibility.

Q: Is the Hirose BM20B(0.8)-40DP-0.4V(53) compatible with designs specified for AXE240124? A: Yes. The Hirose part maintains complete parametric equivalence with the Panasonic AXE240124 across all functional and mechanical specifications. Interchangeability is confirmed through identical position count, pitch, mounting configuration, contact material, and dimensional characteristics.

Q: What are the critical parameters that determine substitution eligibility? A: Substitution eligibility is determined by equivalence in the following parameters: connector type (Header, Outer Shroud Contacts), position count (40), pitch (0.016"/0.40mm), row configuration (2), mounting type (Surface Mount), contact finish (Gold), mated stacking height (0.8mm), height above board (0.026"/0.65mm), and solder retention feature. All identified substitutes maintain identical values across these parameters.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant? A: Yes. AXE240124, AXE640124, and BM20B(0.8)-40DP-0.4V(53) are all RoHS compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity ratings, meeting equivalent environmental and regulatory requirements.

Q: Does packaging format differ between the main part and substitutes? A: No. All parts are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging format, ensuring consistent handling and assembly process compatibility.
