AXF5B6012 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The AXF5B6012 is a 60-position rectangular connector socket manufactured by Panasonic Electric Works, designed for surface mount applications with center strip contacts and gold plating. This connector is classified as "Not For New Designs," indicating its discontinuation from active product lines. The identification of equivalent substitute parts is necessary to support existing applications and facilitate component sourcing for legacy systems or production continuity.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the AXF5B6012 is determined by strict parametric equivalence across the following critical dimensions:

Electrical Parameters:

60-position connector configuration
0.014" (0.35mm) pitch spacing
2-row arrangement
Gold contact finish
Solder retention feature

Mechanical Parameters:

Surface mount mounting type
0.6mm mated stacking height
0.023" (0.59mm) height above board
Center strip contact configuration

Compliance Parameters:

RoHS compliance requirement
MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity classification

Both substitute parts (AXG160144 and AXG760044) satisfy all critical parameters listed above, enabling direct functional substitution in applications originally designed for the AXF5B6012.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

AXG160144 is the primary substitute for AXF5B6012. This part maintains active product status with Panasonic Electric Works, ensuring ongoing availability and manufacturing support. The AXG160144 belongs to the S35 series and is supplied in Tape & Reel packaging, facilitating automated assembly processes. All electrical, mechanical, and compliance parameters are identical to the original AXF5B6012.

AXG760044 serves as a secondary substitute option. This part is also maintained in active production status and provides identical parametric equivalence to the AXF5B6012. The AXG760044 belongs to the A35US series and is similarly supplied in Tape & Reel packaging. Selection between AXG160144 and AXG760044 may be determined by supply chain availability, series compatibility with existing component inventories, or procurement lead times.

Both substitute parts carry RoHS compliance certification and MSL 1 classification, meeting the environmental and handling requirements of the original specification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can AXG160144 or AXG760044 be used as direct replacements for AXF5B6012 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both substitute parts satisfy all critical electrical and mechanical parameters: 60-position configuration, 0.014" (0.35mm) pitch, 2-row arrangement, surface mount mounting, gold contact finish, and identical stacking heights. Functional compatibility is established through parametric equivalence.

Q: What is the difference between AXG160144 and AXG760044?

A: Both parts are parametrically equivalent to AXF5B6012. The primary differences are series designation (S35 versus A35US) and potential supply chain availability. Both are supplied in Tape & Reel packaging and maintain active product status.

Q: Why is AXF5B6012 marked as "Not For New Designs"?

A: This designation indicates the part has been discontinued from active product development. Substitute parts AXG160144 and AXG760044 are recommended for new applications requiring this connector specification.

Q: Are there packaging differences between the main part and substitutes?

A: The AXF5B6012 packaging specification is not provided in the technical data. Both substitute parts (AXG160144 and AXG760044) are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging, which is standard for automated surface mount assembly processes.

Q: Do the substitute parts meet the same compliance requirements?

A: Yes. Both AXG160144 and AXG760044 are RoHS compliant and classified as MSL 1 (Unlimited), matching the compliance profile of AXF5B6012. Both carry identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.69.4040) classifications.

Q: What is the inventory status of these substitute parts?

A: AXG160144 has 822 pieces in stock, and AXG760044 has 774 pieces in stock. Both are available as new original components from Panasonic Electric Works.
