AXF6B5012 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The AXF6B5012 is a 50-position rectangular connector header manufactured by Panasonic Electric Works, designed for board-to-FPC (Flexible Printed Circuit) connections. This surface mount component features outer shroud contacts with gold plating and solder retention capabilities. The part is classified as "Not For New Designs," indicating it has been superseded in the manufacturer's product line. Identifying equivalent and substitute parts is necessary to ensure design continuity, maintain supply chain flexibility, and transition to active product alternatives that meet identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the AXF6B5012 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type: Header with outer shroud contacts
• Position Count: 50 positions
• Pitch Specification: 0.014" (0.35mm)
• Row Configuration: 2 rows
• Mounting Technology: Surface mount
• Contact Material: Gold plating
• Mechanical Dimensions: Mated stacking height of 0.6mm and height above board of 0.018" (0.46mm)
• Functional Features: Solder retention capability
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS compliant status

Both substitute parts listed below satisfy all these parameters. The substitution logic is based on functional and mechanical interchangeability within the rectangular connector category. Differences in product status, series designation, and packaging format do not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

AXF6D5012 is classified as an active product with current manufacturing support. This part is packaged in Tape & Reel format and belongs to the A35UH series. Selection of this substitute is appropriate for applications requiring ongoing supplier support and standard production packaging.

AXG250144 is classified as an active product with current manufacturing support. This part is packaged in Tape & Reel format and belongs to the S35 series. This substitute offers the highest inventory availability among the listed alternatives and is suitable for high-volume production requirements.

Both substitute parts maintain full electrical and mechanical compatibility with the AXF6B5012 across all specified parameters. The transition from the obsolete AXF6B5012 to either active substitute part eliminates future supply chain risk while preserving design functionality. Selection between the two substitutes should be based on packaging requirements, inventory availability, and supplier lead time considerations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can AXF6D5012 or AXG250144 be used as direct replacements for AXF6B5012 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both substitute parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent to the AXF6B5012. All critical parameters including connector type, position count, pitch, row configuration, mounting type, contact finish, stacking heights, and functional features are identical. The parts are interchangeable at the board level.

Q: What is the difference between the two substitute parts?

A: The primary differences are product series designation (A35UH for AXF6D5012 versus S35 for AXG250144) and inventory availability. Both parts are packaged in Tape & Reel format. All electrical and mechanical specifications are identical.

Q: Why is the AXF6B5012 marked as "Not For New Designs"?

A: This designation indicates the part has been superseded by the manufacturer. New designs should incorporate either AXF6D5012 or AXG250144 to ensure long-term supply availability and manufacturer support.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences between these parts?

A: No. All three parts are RoHS compliant, carry MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), and share identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications. Regulatory compliance is equivalent across all parts.

Q: Does packaging format affect electrical performance?

A: No. The Tape & Reel packaging used for both substitutes is a manufacturing and logistics format that does not affect the electrical or mechanical performance of the connector itself.

Q: What inventory levels are available for each part?

A: AXF6B5012 has 717 pieces in stock, AXF6D5012 has 667 pieces in stock, and AXG250144 has 2388 pieces in stock. Availability should be confirmed at the time of procurement.
