AXF6D1612A Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The AXF6D1612A is a 16-position connector header manufactured by Panasonic Electric Works, designed for surface mount applications with outer shroud contacts and gold-plated finishes. This component belongs to the A35UH series and maintains active product status with full RoHS3 compliance. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters align with the original specification, ensuring functional interchangeability in rectangular connector applications requiring 16-position, dual-row, surface mount configurations.

Mated Stacking Height	0.6mm
Height Above Board	0.018" (0.46mm)
Features	Solder Retention
RoHS Status	ROHS3 Compliant
MSL Rating	1 (Unlimited)

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the AXF6D1612A is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Connector Type: Header with outer shroud contacts
Position Count: 16 positions
Row Configuration: 2 rows
Pitch Specification: 0.014" (0.35mm)
Mounting Technology: Surface mount
Contact Material: Gold plating
Mated Stacking Height: 0.6mm
Height Above Board: 0.018" (0.46mm)
Solder Retention Feature: Required
Compliance: ROHS3 compliant, MSL 1

The AXG216144A meets all specified parameters and qualifies as a parametric equivalent substitute. Both components share identical electrical and mechanical characteristics within the rectangular connector category, differing only in series designation (A35UH versus S35) and manufacturer base product numbering.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the AXF6D1612A and AXG216144A maintain active product status with full ROHS3 compliance and identical MSL ratings. Selection between these components should be based on:

Availability and Lead Time: Current inventory shows 914 units of AXF6D1612A and 967 units of AXG216144A. Either component is suitable for immediate procurement.

Compliance Requirements: Both parts satisfy ROHS3 requirements and carry EAR99 export classification. REACH status is unaffected for the AXG216144A, confirming regulatory alignment.

Series Compatibility: The AXF6D1612A belongs to the A35UH series while AXG216144A belongs to the S35 series. Verify series-specific design requirements in application schematics before final selection.

Packaging and Handling: Both components arrive in strip packaging with MSL 1 rating, requiring standard moisture control during storage and assembly.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can AXG216144A directly replace AXF6D1612A in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both components share identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters including position count, pitch, mounting type, contact finish, and stacking heights. The only difference is series designation (A35UH versus S35). Verify series-specific requirements in your design documentation.

Q: What parameters determine substitution eligibility for 16-position connector headers?

A: Substitution requires matching on connector type, position count (16), row configuration (2), pitch (0.014"/0.35mm), mounting technology (surface mount), contact finish (gold), mated stacking height (0.6mm), height above board (0.018"/0.46mm), and solder retention feature. Compliance certifications (ROHS3, MSL 1) must also align.

Q: Are there any differences in contact finish thickness between these parts?

A: Contact finish thickness is not specified for either component in the provided data. Both parts specify gold contact finish without thickness differentiation.

Q: What is the significance of the different series designations?

A: The AXF6D1612A (A35UH series) and AXG216144A (S35 series) represent different product lines within Panasonic Electric Works' connector portfolio. Series designation may affect availability, lead times, and design documentation. Confirm series compatibility with your application requirements.

Q: Are both parts suitable for high-reliability applications?

A: Both components carry ROHS3 compliance, MSL 1 rating, and active product status. Selection for high-reliability applications should be based on your specific environmental and performance requirements beyond the parameters provided.

Q: What is the packaging format for these connectors?

A: Both AXF6D1612A and AXG216144A are supplied in strip packaging, standard for surface mount connector headers.
