AXF6B6012 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The AXF6B6012 is a 60-position rectangular connector header manufactured by Panasonic Electric Works, designed for flexible printed circuit (FPC) board applications. 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 The part is classified as "Not For New Designs," indicating it has been superseded in the manufacturer's product line.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 substitute parts is necessary to ensure design continuity, maintain supply chain flexibility, and support legacy system maintenance where this connector type is specified.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the AXF6B6012 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

Connector type (Header, Outer shroud contacts)
Number of positions (60)
Pitch specification (0.014" / 0.35mm)
Number of rows (2)
Mounting type (Surface mount)
Contact finish (Gold)
Mated stacking height (0.6mm)
Height above board (0.018" / 0.46mm)
Solder retention feature
RoHS compliance status
MSL rating (1 - Unlimited)

The substitute parts AXF6D6012 and AXG260144 satisfy all mandatory matching parameters. Both alternatives are manufactured by Panasonic Electric Works and maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications to the primary part. The primary distinction between substitutes lies in series designation and product status classification.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

AXF6D6012 is classified as an Active product, indicating current manufacturing support and availability. This part carries identical electrical and mechanical specifications to the AXF6B6012 and is supplied in Tape & Reel packaging. Selection of AXF6D6012 is appropriate for applications requiring active product line support and standard production packaging.

AXG260144 is also classified as an Active product with current manufacturing status. This part maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters matching the AXF6B6012 and is supplied in Tape & Reel packaging. Selection of AXG260144 is appropriate for applications where the S35 series designation is compatible with existing design specifications.

Both substitute parts maintain RoHS compliance and MSL rating identical to the primary part. The choice between AXF6D6012 and AXG260144 depends on series compatibility requirements within the target application and supply chain availability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can AXF6D6012 or AXG260144 be used as direct replacements for AXF6B6012?

A: Yes. Both substitute parts satisfy all critical electrical and mechanical parameters: 60-position configuration, 0.35mm pitch, 2-row layout, surface mount technology, gold contact finish, identical stacking heights, and solder retention features. All three parts are RoHS compliant with MSL rating of 1.

Q: What is the significance of the "Not For New Designs" status on AXF6B6012?

A: This designation indicates the part has been superseded in the manufacturer's active product line. Both substitute parts (AXF6D6012 and AXG260144) carry "Active" status, meaning they are currently manufactured and supported by Panasonic Electric Works.

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

A: The AXF6B6012 packaging specification is not provided in the technical data. Both substitute parts are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging, which is standard for surface mount connector production and assembly operations.

Q: Do the substitute parts have different series designations?

A: Yes. AXF6B6012 belongs to the S35H series, AXF6D6012 belongs to the A35UH series, and AXG260144 belongs to the S35 series. Despite different series classifications, all three parts maintain identical connector specifications and are mechanically and electrically interchangeable based on the provided parameters.

Q: Are all three parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. AXF6B6012, AXF6D6012, and AXG260144 are all RoHS compliant with MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited moisture sensitivity level).

Q: What inventory levels are available for each part?

A: AXF6B6012 has 693 pieces in stock, AXF6D6012 has 1162 pieces in stock, and AXG260144 has 932 pieces in stock.
