AXE3E2426 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The AXE3E2426 is a 24-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 identification of suitable substitute parts essential for ongoing production and maintenance applications. The connector features solder retention and operates with unlimited moisture sensitivity tolerance (MSL 1).

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the AXE3E2426 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type: Socket with center strip contacts (electrical interface requirement)
• Number of Positions: 24 positions (pin count compatibility)
• Pitch: 0.016" (0.40mm) (mechanical spacing and mating compatibility)
• Number of Rows: 2 rows (physical layout requirement)
• Mounting Type: Surface mount (assembly process compatibility)
• Contact Finish: Gold (electrical performance and corrosion resistance)
• Features: Solder retention (assembly reliability)

The AXE124527 meets all critical substitution criteria. While differences exist in series designation (A4F vs. A4US), mated stacking height (0.6mm vs. 0.8mm), and height above board (0.022" vs. 0.030"), these represent design evolution within the same functional category and do not preclude substitution for equivalent electrical and mechanical performance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The AXE124527 is the designated substitute for the obsolete AXE3E2426. Selection of this substitute is supported by the following factors:

• Product Status Alignment: The AXE124527 maintains active production status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity.
• Compliance Certification: The AXE124527 carries RoHS compliance certification, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic component manufacturing.
• Functional Equivalence: All critical electrical and mechanical parameters align with the original specification, including connector type, position count, pitch, row configuration, mounting method, and contact finish.
• Manufacturer Continuity: Both parts originate from Panasonic Electric Works, ensuring design consistency and quality standards.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the AXE124527 be used as a direct replacement for the AXE3E2426?

A: Yes. The AXE124527 satisfies all critical substitution parameters: 24-position socket connector with center strip contacts, 0.016" (0.40mm) pitch, 2-row configuration, surface mount assembly, gold contact finish, and solder retention features.

Q: What are the differences between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are product status (obsolete vs. active), series designation (A4F vs. A4US), mated stacking height (0.6mm vs. 0.8mm), height above board (0.022" vs. 0.030"), and RoHS compliance certification (not specified vs. compliant). These differences reflect design evolution and do not affect functional compatibility.

Q: Does the packaging difference affect substitution?

A: The AXE3E2426 packaging is unspecified, while the AXE124527 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format. Packaging affects handling and assembly processes but does not impact electrical or mechanical compatibility of the connector itself.

Q: Are there any height considerations when substituting?

A: The AXE124527 has a slightly greater mated stacking height (0.8mm vs. 0.6mm) and height above board (0.030" vs. 0.022"). PCB layout and enclosure clearance must be verified to accommodate these dimensional differences.

Q: Is the AXE124527 RoHS compliant?

A: Yes, the AXE124527 is RoHS compliant. The RoHS status of the original AXE3E2426 is not specified in the available data.
