Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The AXE516127 qualifies as a direct substitute for the AXE516124 based on identical alignment across all critical substitution parameters: connector type, position count, pitch spacing, row configuration, mounting method, contact material and finish, stacking heights, board clearance, and solder retention features. Both components share the same base product number (AXE516) and series designation (A4S), confirming functional equivalence. The substitution is valid for all applications where the AXE516124 was originally specified.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The AXE516127 is the appropriate selection for applications currently using or specifying the AXE516124. The substitute part maintains complete electrical and mechanical compatibility while offering the advantage of active product status and RoHS compliance certification. For new designs or production transitions, the AXE516127 should be specified to ensure long-term component availability and supply chain continuity. Both parts carry identical export classification (EAR99) and tariff codes, presenting no regulatory barriers to substitution.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can AXE516127 be used as a direct replacement for AXE516124 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The AXE516127 is electrically and mechanically identical to the AXE516124 across all specified parameters, including connector type, position count, pitch, mounting configuration, contact finish, and board clearance. No design modifications are required.

Q: What is the primary reason for substitution?

A: The AXE516124 is classified as obsolete. The AXE516127 is the active equivalent part from the same manufacturer and series, ensuring continued availability for production and future orders.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: Both parts are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging, maintaining identical handling and assembly compatibility.

Q: Does the RoHS compliance status affect substitution?

A: The AXE516127 carries RoHS Compliant certification, which is advantageous for applications subject to RoHS requirements. This represents an improvement over the original part specification and does not create compatibility issues.

Q: Are moisture sensitivity levels equivalent?

A: Yes. Both parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, indicating identical moisture handling requirements and storage conditions.
