Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the AXF6B3412 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Number of Positions: 34
• Pitch: 0.014" (0.35mm)
• Number of Rows: 2
• Connector Type: Header, Outer Shroud Contacts
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount
• Contact Finish: Gold
• Mated Stacking Height: 0.6mm
• Height Above Board: 0.018" (0.46mm)
• Features: Solder Retention
• RoHS Compliance: Required
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

Both identified substitute parts meet all mandatory parameters. The primary distinction between substitutes lies in product status and series designation, which do not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

AXF6D3412 (Direct Substitute): This part is designated as a direct manufacturer substitute with Active product status. It maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications to the AXF6B3412 while offering current manufacturing support. The AXF6D3412 is supplied in Tape & Reel packaging and represents the primary replacement option for legacy applications requiring component refresh or supply continuity.

AXG234144 (Parametric Equivalent): This part is classified as a parametric equivalent and carries Active product status. It satisfies all critical electrical and mechanical requirements and is available in higher inventory quantities (16,264 units). The AXG234144 belongs to the S35 series and is supplied in Tape & Reel packaging. This option provides maximum supply availability and long-term product support.

Both substitute parts are RoHS Compliant and carry identical regulatory classifications (ECCN: EAR99; HTSUS: 8536.69.4040), ensuring compliance with existing design requirements and regulatory frameworks.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can AXF6D3412 and AXG234144 be used interchangeably with AXF6B3412?

A: Both parts meet all mandatory electrical and mechanical parameters. They are electrically and mechanically compatible with applications designed for the AXF6B3412. The primary differences are product status (Active versus Not For New Designs) and series designation, neither of which affects functional compatibility.

Q: What is the significance of the "Not For New Designs" status on the AXF6B3412?

A: This designation indicates the manufacturer has discontinued active development and recommends using alternative parts for new applications. For existing designs, the part remains functional and available. The identified substitutes provide forward-compatible alternatives with ongoing manufacturer support.

Q: How do the packaging options differ between the main part and substitutes?

A: The AXF6B3412 packaging is not specified in available documentation. Both AXF6D3412 and AXG234144 are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, which is standard for high-volume surface mount assembly. Tape & Reel packaging is compatible with automated pick-and-place equipment.

Q: Are there differences in connector series between these parts?

A: The parts belong to different series designations: AXF6B3412 (S35H series), AXF6D3412 (A35UH series), and AXG234144 (S35 series). Series designation reflects internal manufacturer classification and does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility when all other parameters are identical.

Q: What inventory considerations should guide part selection?

A: AXG234144 offers the highest inventory availability (16,264 units), followed by AXF6D3412 (844 units). For applications requiring immediate supply or high-volume procurement, AXG234144 provides superior supply chain flexibility.

Q: Are all three parts RoHS Compliant?

A: Yes. All three parts carry RoHS Compliant status and identical regulatory classifications, ensuring compatibility with environmental and regulatory requirements.
