Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the AXE636124 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Configuration: 36 positions, 2 rows, 0.016" (0.40mm) pitch
• Mounting Technology: Surface mount with outer shroud contacts
• Electrical Properties: Gold contact finish with solder retention capability
• Physical Dimensions: Mated stacking height of 0.8mm and height above board of 0.026" (0.65mm)
• Compliance: RoHS compliance and MSL 1 rating

The AXE236124 meets all these critical parameters and qualifies as a parametric equivalent. The primary distinction between the main part and its substitute is the packaging format and product status, not the functional or mechanical characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The AXE236124 is the direct parametric equivalent for the obsolete AXE636124. Both components share identical electrical and mechanical specifications, including connector configuration, pitch, mounting type, contact finish, and dimensional characteristics. The AXE236124 maintains active product status with Panasonic Electric Works, ensuring continued availability and supply chain reliability.

The primary difference between these parts is packaging format: the AXE636124 is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) format, while the AXE236124 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format. Both parts are RoHS compliant and carry MSL 1 rating, confirming equivalent compliance profiles for regulated applications.

For new designs or production transitions from the obsolete AXE636124, the AXE236124 is the appropriate selection based on functional equivalence and active product status.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the AXE236124 directly replace the AXE636124 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The AXE236124 is a parametric equivalent with identical connector configuration, pitch, mounting type, contact finish, and physical dimensions. No design modifications are required for functional compatibility.

Q: What is the difference between Cut Tape (CT) and Tape & Reel (TR) packaging?

A: Cut Tape packaging supplies individual components on tape segments, suitable for lower-volume applications. Tape & Reel packaging supplies components on continuous reels, optimized for high-volume automated assembly. Both formats contain the same component; the difference is in supply and handling methodology.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the AXE636124 and AXE236124 are RoHS compliant and carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, confirming equivalent environmental and regulatory compliance.

Q: Why is the AXE636124 listed as obsolete?

A: Product obsolescence typically reflects manufacturer discontinuation decisions. The AXE236124, as an active product from the same manufacturer with identical specifications, serves as the current production equivalent.

Q: Are there any electrical performance differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts share identical electrical specifications, including contact finish (gold), connector type (header with outer shroud contacts), and solder retention features. Electrical performance is equivalent.

Q: What series differences exist between A4S and A4US?

A: Series designation reflects manufacturer product line organization. Both A4S and A4US series connectors meet the specified electrical and mechanical parameters for this 36-position, 0.40mm pitch configuration. Functional compatibility is maintained across series variants when parametric specifications are identical.
