AXF6D2012A Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The AXF6D2012A is a 20-position rectangular connector header manufactured by Panasonic Electric Works, designed for surface mount applications with outer shroud contacts and gold-plated finish. This component is part of the A35UH series and maintains active product status with full ROHS3 compliance. Substitute parts become necessary when addressing supply chain constraints, inventory availability, or design flexibility requirements while maintaining identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the AXF6D2012A is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type: Header with outer shroud contacts
• Position Count: 20 positions
• Pitch Specification: 0.014" (0.35mm)
• Row Configuration: 2 rows
• 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 Standards: ROHS3 compliant, MSL 1

The AXG220144A meets all substitution criteria as a parametric equivalent, differing only in series designation (S35 versus A35UH) while maintaining identical electrical and mechanical performance characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both AXF6D2012A and AXG220144A are active products with full ROHS3 compliance and identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on:

Inventory Availability: AXF6D2012A maintains 1379 pieces in stock, while AXG220144A has 806 pieces available. Choose based on procurement timeline and supply chain requirements.

Series Compatibility: The A35UH series (AXF6D2012A) and S35 series (AXG220144A) are distinct product lines from Panasonic Electric Works. Verify that your application design does not specify series-level constraints before substitution.

Compliance Certification: Both parts meet ROHS3 requirements and carry MSL 1 rating, suitable for unlimited moisture exposure during storage and handling.

Regulatory Classification: Both parts share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.69.4040) classifications for export and tariff purposes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can AXG220144A be used as a direct replacement for AXF6D2012A in production?

A: Yes. Both parts are parametrically equivalent across all critical electrical and mechanical specifications: 20-position header, 0.35mm pitch, 2-row configuration, surface mount technology, gold contact finish, and identical stacking heights. The only difference is the series designation (A35UH versus S35).

Q: What determines whether a part qualifies as a substitute?

A: Substitution eligibility requires identical values for connector type, position count, pitch, row configuration, mounting method, contact material, stacking height, and compliance certifications. Series designation alone does not prevent substitution when all functional parameters match.

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns with PCB layout or mating connectors?

A: No compatibility concerns exist at the PCB footprint level, as both parts share identical pitch (0.35mm), position count (20), row configuration (2), and mounting height (0.46mm above board). Mating connectors designed for AXF6D2012A will interface identically with AXG220144A.

Q: How should I handle the series difference between A35UH and S35?

A: Series designation indicates product line classification within Panasonic Electric Works' portfolio but does not affect electrical or mechanical performance. Confirm that your design specifications do not explicitly require a specific series before proceeding with substitution.

Q: What is the significance of MSL 1 rating for both parts?

A: MSL 1 (Moisture Sensitivity Level 1) indicates unlimited moisture exposure tolerance during storage and handling. Both parts require no special desiccant packaging or floor-life restrictions, simplifying logistics and inventory management.
