AXE312124 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The AXE312124 is a 12-position rectangular connector socket manufactured by Panasonic Electric Works, designed for surface mount applications with center strip contacts and gold plating. This component is classified as obsolete, making equivalent and substitute parts necessary for ongoing production and maintenance applications. The connector features solder retention and operates with unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1).

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the AXE312124 are identified based on strict parametric equivalence across the following critical specifications:

• Number of positions: 12
• Pitch: 0.016" (0.40mm)
• Number of rows: 2
• Connector type: Socket, Center Strip Contacts
• Mounting type: Surface Mount
• Contact finish: Gold
• Features: Solder Retention

Two substitute parts meet these core electrical and mechanical requirements. The substitutes differ in series designation, product status, and specific dimensional characteristics (mated stacking heights and height above board), but maintain functional compatibility within the defined parameter set.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both AXE5E1226 and AXE3E1226 are active production parts from Panasonic Electric Works and serve as functional substitutes for the obsolete AXE312124.

AXE3E1226 is the parametric equivalent, maintaining identical series designation (A4F), mated stacking height (0.6mm), and height above board (0.022"/0.57mm) as the original part. This substitute provides direct dimensional compatibility and is RoHS compliant.

AXE5E1226 is a similar substitute with active product status and RoHS compliance. It operates within the same electrical specifications but features increased mated stacking height (0.8mm) and height above board (0.030"/0.75mm). Contact finish thickness is specified as flash plating. This part is available in bulk packaging with higher inventory levels.

Selection between these substitutes depends on PCB layout constraints and dimensional requirements. Both parts maintain the same pitch, position count, and connector type, ensuring electrical compatibility within designs originally specified for AXE312124.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can AXE5E1226 and AXE3E1226 be used interchangeably with AXE312124?

A: Both parts meet the core electrical specifications (12 positions, 0.016" pitch, 2 rows, gold-plated socket contacts with solder retention). However, dimensional differences exist. AXE3E1226 maintains identical height characteristics to AXE312124, while AXE5E1226 has increased stacking and board heights. PCB layout and clearance requirements determine interchangeability.

Q: What is the difference between AXE3E1226 and AXE5E1226?

A: Both are active Panasonic Electric Works substitutes with identical electrical parameters. AXE3E1226 belongs to the A4F series and matches the original AXE312124 dimensions exactly. AXE5E1226 belongs to the A4S series with increased mated stacking height (0.8mm vs. 0.6mm) and height above board (0.030" vs. 0.022"). AXE5E1226 specifies flash contact finish thickness and is available in bulk packaging.

Q: Are these substitutes RoHS compliant?

A: AXE3E1226 and AXE5E1226 are both RoHS compliant. The original AXE312124 does not specify RoHS status.

Q: What packaging options are available?

A: AXE312124 packaging is not specified. AXE3E1226 packaging is not specified. AXE5E1226 is available in bulk packaging.

Q: Do all three parts share the same moisture sensitivity rating?

A: Yes. AXE312124, AXE5E1226, and AXE3E1226 all have MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions.
