AXE626124 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The AXE626124 is a 26-position rectangular connector header manufactured by Panasonic Electric Works, designed for surface mount applications with gold-plated contacts and outer shroud configuration. This component is classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives essential for ongoing production support and design continuity. The part operates within standard rectangular connector specifications and maintains RoHS compliance for modern manufacturing environments.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the AXE626124 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Position Count & Pitch: 26 positions at 0.016" (0.40mm) pitch establishes the fundamental electrical interface
• Row Configuration: 2-row arrangement defines the physical footprint and contact layout
• Mounting Technology: Surface mount requirement ensures compatibility with modern PCB assembly processes
• Contact Material & Finish: Gold plating provides consistent electrical performance and corrosion resistance
• Mechanical Compatibility: Mated stacking height and height above board determine connector mating clearance and board-level integration

The AXT626124 qualifies as a substitute based on matching all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The primary distinction lies in the connector shroud design (center strip versus outer shroud) and packaging format (tape & reel versus cut tape), which do not affect functional compatibility in the connector interface itself.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The AXT626124 serves as the direct functional equivalent for the obsolete AXE626124. Both components share identical electrical specifications: 26-position configuration, 0.40mm pitch, dual-row layout, surface mount technology, and gold contact finish. Both maintain RoHS compliance and MSL-1 moisture sensitivity ratings, ensuring compatibility with current manufacturing standards.

The AXT626124 offers the advantage of active product status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain stability. The shift from outer shroud to center strip contact design represents a mechanical variation that does not compromise electrical interface compatibility. The increased height above board (0.033" versus 0.026") and mated stacking height (1mm versus 0.8mm) require verification against specific PCB layout constraints and mating connector specifications to confirm mechanical clearance in the target application.

Packaging format differs between the two parts (cut tape versus tape & reel), which may influence procurement logistics and assembly line integration but does not affect component performance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the AXT626124 directly replace the AXE626124 in existing designs?

A: Electrical compatibility is confirmed across all critical parameters: position count, pitch, row configuration, mounting type, and contact finish. Mechanical compatibility requires verification of the increased height above board (0.033" versus 0.026") and mated stacking height (1mm versus 0.8mm) against your specific PCB layout and mating connector specifications.

Q: What is the significance of the connector shroud design difference (outer shroud versus center strip)?

A: The shroud design affects mechanical guidance and contact alignment during mating but does not alter the electrical interface. The center strip configuration in the AXT626124 provides equivalent contact retention and signal integrity for the 26-position, 0.40mm pitch interface.

Q: Does the packaging format change (cut tape to tape & reel) affect component performance?

A: No. Packaging format influences procurement, storage, and assembly line handling but has no impact on electrical or mechanical performance of the connector itself.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the AXE626124 and AXT626124 are RoHS compliant with MSL-1 moisture sensitivity ratings, meeting current environmental and reliability standards.

Q: Why is the AXE626124 listed as obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates the part is no longer in active production. The AXT626124, with active product status, represents the current manufacturing equivalent and ensures long-term supply availability.
