AXE640124 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The AXE640124 is a 40-position connector header manufactured by Panasonic Electric Works, designed for surface mount applications with outer shroud contacts and gold plating. This component belongs to the A4S series and is actively produced. Equivalent and substitute parts are identified to support procurement flexibility, inventory management, and supply chain continuity when the primary part becomes unavailable or when alternative packaging formats are required.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the AXE640124 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters: 40-position count, 0.016" (0.40mm) pitch, 2-row configuration, header connector type with outer shroud contacts, surface mount mounting, gold contact finish, 0.8mm mated stacking height, and 0.026" (0.65mm) height above board. All identified substitutes maintain these specifications without deviation.

Two substitute categories are identified:

Direct Manufacturer Equivalent (Packaging Variant): AXE640124A differs only in packaging format (Strip versus Tape & Reel) while maintaining identical electrical and mechanical specifications and the same base product number AXE640.

Parametric Equivalent (Cross-Manufacturer): BM20B(0.8)-40DP-0.4V(53) from Hirose Electric Co Ltd matches all critical electrical and mechanical parameters, enabling functional interchangeability despite different manufacturer designation and series classification (BM20 versus A4S).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts maintain active product status and full compliance with RoHS requirements, supporting long-term design reliability. AXE640124A is the preferred substitute when packaging format flexibility is acceptable, as it is manufactured by the same supplier and carries enhanced RoHS3 certification. BM20B(0.8)-40DP-0.4V(53) serves as the cross-manufacturer alternative when Panasonic supply becomes constrained, with equivalent compliance certifications and parametric alignment ensuring functional compatibility in the application circuit.

Selection between AXE640124 and AXE640124A depends solely on assembly process requirements; both are electrically and mechanically identical. The Hirose equivalent introduces no performance trade-offs when parametric matching is the selection criterion.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can AXE640124A be used as a direct replacement for AXE640124?

A: Yes. Both parts are manufactured by Panasonic Electric Works with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The only difference is packaging format: AXE640124 is supplied in Tape & Reel format while AXE640124A is supplied in Strip format. Selection depends on assembly equipment compatibility and procurement volume requirements.

Q: Is the Hirose BM20B(0.8)-40DP-0.4V(53) functionally equivalent to the Panasonic AXE640124?

A: Yes. The Hirose part matches all critical parameters: 40 positions, 0.016" (0.40mm) pitch, 2-row configuration, surface mount mounting, gold contact finish, 0.8mm mated stacking height, and 0.026" (0.65mm) height above board. Both maintain MSL 1 rating and RoHS compliance, enabling direct functional substitution.

Q: What parameters must remain constant for substitution eligibility?

A: The following parameters are non-negotiable for substitution: position count (40), pitch (0.016"/0.40mm), row count (2), connector type (header with outer shroud contacts), mounting method (surface mount), contact finish (gold), mated stacking height (0.8mm), and height above board (0.026"/0.65mm). Deviation in any of these parameters disqualifies a part from substitution consideration.

Q: Are there compliance differences between the substitute parts?

A: AXE640124A carries RoHS3 certification compared to RoHS compliance for AXE640124 and BM20B(0.8)-40DP-0.4V(53). All three parts are MSL 1 rated with unlimited moisture sensitivity tolerance. No functional impact results from these certification variations in standard operating environments.

Q: What inventory considerations apply to these substitutes?

A: Current stock levels are AXE640124 (5020 pcs), BM20B(0.8)-40DP-0.4V(53) (1610 pcs), and AXE640124A (1375 pcs). Procurement decisions should account for lead times and supply continuity when primary inventory becomes depleted.
