Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The AXE4E4026 qualifies as a parametric equivalent to the AXE440124 based on strict alignment of critical electrical and mechanical parameters. Substitution is valid where the following parameters match identically:

• Number of positions: 40
• Pitch specification: 0.016" (0.40mm)
• Number of rows: 2
• Mounting type: Surface Mount
• Connector type: Header, Outer Shroud Contacts
• Contact finish: Gold
• Solder retention feature: Present
• Mated stacking heights: 0.6mm
• Height above board: 0.018" (0.46mm)
• Moisture sensitivity level: 1 (Unlimited)

The primary distinction between these parts is product status: AXE440124 is obsolete, while AXE4E4026 is active and carries RoHS compliance certification.
