Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the AXE320124 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type: Socket, Center Strip Contacts
• Number of Positions: 20
• Pitch: 0.016" (0.40mm)
• Number of Rows: 2
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount
• Contact Finish: Gold
• Features: Solder Retention
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

Parts meeting all these electrical and mechanical parameters are classified as direct substitutes. Variations in mated stacking heights, height above board, series designation, or product status do not disqualify substitution eligibility when core parameters remain identical.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both AXE120527 and AXE3E2026 are valid substitutes for the obsolete AXE320124 based on matching electrical and mechanical parameters. AXE120527 carries active product status and RoHS compliance certification, supporting long-term supply chain continuity. AXE3E2026 maintains identical stacking height and board clearance specifications to the original part while offering active status and RoHS compliance. Selection between these substitutes should be based on packaging requirements, inventory availability, and specific application constraints related to mated stacking height tolerance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can AXE120527 replace AXE320124 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical connector type, position count, pitch, row configuration, mounting type, contact finish, and solder retention features. The mated stacking height difference (0.8mm versus 0.6mm) and height above board variation (0.030" versus 0.022") must be evaluated against specific PCB layout and mating component clearance requirements.

Q: What is the difference between AXE120527 and AXE3E2026?

A: Both are active substitutes with RoHS compliance. AXE3E2026 matches the original AXE320124 in mated stacking height (0.6mm) and height above board (0.022"), while AXE120527 has increased stacking height (0.8mm) and board clearance (0.030"). Series designation differs (A4US versus A4F), and packaging differs (Tape & Reel for AXE120527 versus unspecified for AXE3E2026).

Q: Are all three parts electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. All three parts maintain identical electrical specifications: 20 positions, 0.016" pitch, 2-row configuration, gold contact finish, and solder retention features. Mechanical form factor variations do not affect electrical performance.

Q: Does packaging affect substitution eligibility?

A: Packaging format (Tape & Reel versus bulk) does not affect electrical or mechanical substitution eligibility. Packaging selection depends on assembly process requirements and inventory management practices.

Q: Why is AXE320124 listed as obsolete?

A: Product obsolescence indicates discontinued manufacturing. AXE120527 and AXE3E2026 are active alternatives that maintain functional equivalence while ensuring ongoing availability and compliance with current standards.
