Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the AXE560124 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Connector Type: Socket, Center Strip Contacts
Number of Positions: 60
Pitch: 0.016" (0.40mm)
Number of Rows: 2
Mounting Type: Surface Mount
Contact Finish: Gold
Features: Solder Retention
Height Above Board: 0.030" (0.75mm)
Mated Stacking Heights: 0.8mm minimum compatibility

Parts meeting these criteria across all parameters are classified as direct substitutes. Variations in product status, packaging format, or series designation do not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility when these core parameters remain identical.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitutes (Active Status)

AXE560127 and AXE560127A are the preferred substitutes for the obsolete AXE560124. Both parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications, including support for 0.8mm and 1mm mated stacking heights. Both carry active product status and RoHS compliance certification, ensuring long-term availability and regulatory alignment.

AXE560127 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging, suitable for automated assembly processes. AXE560127A is supplied in Strip packaging, appropriate for manual assembly or lower-volume applications.

Secondary Substitutes (Active Status, Series Variation)

AXE160124 is an active substitute from the A4US series. This part meets all critical electrical and mechanical parameters but supports only 0.8mm mated stacking height. Selection of AXE160124 is appropriate when 1mm stacking height is not required. RoHS compliance is confirmed.

Obsolete Substitute (Not Recommended for New Designs)

AXE160527A is classified as obsolete despite meeting all core electrical and mechanical specifications. This part should not be selected for new designs or long-term supply requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can AXE560127 or AXE560127A be used as direct replacements for AXE560124?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent. They maintain identical connector type, position count, pitch, row configuration, mounting method, contact finish, and height specifications. The primary difference is product status: AXE560124 is obsolete, while AXE560127 and AXE560127A are active.

Q: What is the difference between AXE560127 and AXE560127A?

A: The electrical and mechanical specifications are identical. The difference is packaging format. AXE560127 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format for automated assembly. AXE560127A is supplied in Strip format for manual assembly or lower-volume applications. Both are active products with RoHS compliance.

Q: Why does AXE160124 list only 0.8mm mated stacking height while AXE560124 lists both 0.8mm and 1mm?

A: The mated stacking height specification indicates the vertical distance when the connector is mated with its corresponding plug. AXE160124 supports 0.8mm stacking height. If your application requires 1mm stacking height compatibility, AXE560127 or AXE560127A must be selected.

Q: Is AXE160527A a suitable substitute?

A: AXE160527A meets all electrical and mechanical parameters but carries obsolete product status. It is not recommended for new designs or applications requiring long-term supply assurance.

Q: Are all these parts RoHS compliant?

A: AXE560127, AXE560127A, AXE160124, and AXE160527A are all RoHS compliant. The original AXE560124 RoHS status is not specified in the provided data.

Q: What packaging options are available for active substitutes?

A: AXE560127 is available in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging for high-volume automated assembly. AXE560127A is available in Strip packaging for manual assembly or lower-volume production runs.
