AXF6D1212 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The AXF6D1212 is a 12-position connector header manufactured by Panasonic Electric Works, designed for surface mount applications with outer shroud contacts and gold plating. This component is classified as a rectangular connector and is currently in active production status. The part is RoHS compliant and carries an MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), indicating minimal moisture sensitivity.

Identifying equivalent and substitute parts is necessary when the primary part experiences supply constraints, extended lead times, or inventory limitations. Substitute parts must maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications to ensure direct compatibility in PCB assembly and system integration.
