Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The AXE680124A qualifies as a direct substitute for the AXE280124A based on matching electrical and mechanical parameters. Substitution is valid when the following criteria are met:

• 80-position connector configuration
• 0.016" (0.40mm) pitch spacing
• 2-row arrangement
• Surface mount technology
• Header with outer shroud contacts
• Gold contact finish
• 0.8mm mated stacking height
• 0.026" (0.65mm height above board
• Solder retention feature
• RoHS compliance
• MSL 1 rating

The primary distinction between these parts is product status: AXE280124A is obsolete while AXE680124A maintains active status, making the latter the recommended selection for new designs and replenishment.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations
