AXE670124A Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The AXE670124A is a 70-position connector header manufactured by Panasonic Electric Works, designed for surface mount applications with outer shroud contacts and gold plating. This component is currently in active production status and widely available in inventory.

Substitute parts become necessary when the primary component experiences supply constraints, extended lead times, or when design flexibility allows for alternative series within the same electrical and mechanical specifications. The AXE270124A serves as a parametric equivalent, though with different production status considerations.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The AXE270124A qualifies as a parametric equivalent to the AXE670124A based on the following critical parameters that determine substitutability:

• Electrical Parameters: Identical number of positions (70), pitch (0.016"/0.40mm), and row configuration (2 rows)
• Mechanical Parameters: Matching mounting type (surface mount), connector type (header with outer shroud contacts), mated stacking height (0.8mm), and height above board (0.026"/0.65mm)
• Material & Finish: Identical contact finish (gold) and RoHS compliance status
• Environmental Rating: Matching moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1 - Unlimited)

Both parts belong to the Panasonic Electric Works rectangular connector family and share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.69.4040) classifications. The primary distinction is the series designation (A4S versus A4US) and product status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Selection: AXE670124A is the recommended choice for new designs and production applications. This part maintains active product status with Panasonic Electric Works, ensuring continued manufacturing support, consistent supply chain availability, and long-term component reliability.

Substitute Selection: AXE270124A may be considered only when the primary part experiences supply constraints or extended lead times. This part carries obsolete status, indicating that Panasonic Electric Works has discontinued active production. While current inventory is available (1874 pieces), future availability cannot be guaranteed. Use of this substitute should be limited to legacy system maintenance or temporary supply solutions.

Both parts maintain full RoHS compliance and identical electrical and mechanical specifications, ensuring functional interchangeability within the constraints of their respective availability and production status.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are AXE670124A and AXE270124A electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts feature identical electrical specifications: 70 positions, 0.016" (0.40mm) pitch, 2-row configuration, and gold contact finish. They are electrically interchangeable in circuit applications.

Q: Can AXE270124A be used as a direct replacement in new designs?

A: No. AXE270124A carries obsolete product status, meaning Panasonic Electric Works has discontinued active production. New designs should specify AXE670124A to ensure long-term supply chain stability and manufacturing support.

Q: Are the mechanical dimensions identical between these parts?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical mechanical specifications: surface mount mounting type, 0.8mm mated stacking height, 0.026" (0.65mm) height above board, and outer shroud contact configuration. They are mechanically interchangeable.

Q: What is the difference between the A4S and A4US series designations?

A: Series designation reflects internal Panasonic Electric Works product line organization. Both A4S (AXE670124A) and A4US (AXE270124A) share identical electrical and mechanical parameters for this 70-position connector header configuration.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both AXE670124A and AXE270124A are RoHS compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, suitable for standard manufacturing and storage conditions.

Q: Which part should be specified for legacy system repairs?

A: For legacy systems originally designed with AXE270124A, AXE670124A serves as the direct functional replacement. The active production status of AXE670124A ensures availability for repair and maintenance applications.
