Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The AXE280324D has one parametric equivalent substitute: AXE280324. This substitution is valid based on the following critical parameters that determine functional compatibility:

• Number of Positions: 80 (identical)
• Pitch: 0.016" (0.40mm) (identical)
• Number of Rows: 2 (identical)
• Connector Type: Header, Outer Shroud Contacts (identical)
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount (identical)
• Contact Finish: Gold (identical)
• Features: Solder Retention (identical)
• Mated Stacking Heights: 1.5mm (identical)
• Height Above Board: 0.053" (1.35mm) (identical)
• Series: A4US (identical)

The primary distinction between the main part and its substitute is product status and packaging configuration. The AXE280324 is an active product available in Tape & Reel packaging, whereas the AXE280324D is obsolete.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The AXE280324 is the direct substitute for the obsolete AXE280324D. Both components share identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters. The AXE280324 is currently in active production status, ensuring availability for new designs and production continuity.

The AXE280324 carries RoHS Compliant certification, which the AXE280324D specification does not explicitly document. For applications requiring RoHS compliance, the AXE280324 provides documented compliance status. Both parts maintain MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, indicating no special storage or handling requirements.

Packaging differs between the two parts: the AXE280324 is supplied in Tape & Reel format, which is standard for high-volume surface mount assembly operations. This packaging format supports automated pick-and-place equipment and reduces component handling.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can AXE280324 directly replace AXE280324D in existing designs?

A: Yes. The AXE280324 is a direct functional equivalent. All electrical and mechanical parameters are identical, including position count, pitch, row configuration, mounting type, contact finish, and stacking heights. The primary difference is product status and packaging.

Q: What is the significance of the product status change from Obsolete to Active?

A: The AXE280324D is obsolete and no longer manufactured. The AXE280324 is the active equivalent currently produced by Panasonic Electric Works. For new designs or production continuity, the AXE280324 should be specified.

Q: Does the Tape & Reel packaging of AXE280324 affect compatibility?

A: No. Tape & Reel is a packaging and delivery format for automated assembly. It does not affect the component's electrical or mechanical performance. The connector itself is identical to the AXE280324D.

Q: Is RoHS compliance a functional requirement for substitution?

A: RoHS compliance is a regulatory and environmental requirement, not a functional electrical or mechanical requirement. The AXE280324 is documented as RoHS Compliant, providing compliance assurance for regulated applications. The AXE280324D specification does not document RoHS status.

Q: Are there any differences in moisture sensitivity between the two parts?

A: No. Both the AXE280324D and AXE280324 carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, indicating identical moisture sensitivity characteristics and no special storage requirements.

Q: What is the base product number, and how does it relate to these parts?

A: The base product number is AXE280. Both the AXE280324D and AXE280324 are variants of this base product within the A4US series, differentiated by packaging and production status.
