Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the obsolete AXF6G3832 is determined by the following critical parameters that must remain constant across equivalent parts:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• Connector Type: Header with outer shroud contacts
• Number of Positions: 38 positions
• Mounting Technology: Surface mount (SMD)
• Base Product Family: AXF6G3 series
• Compliance Standards: RoHS compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity: MSL 1 (Unlimited)
• Regulatory Classification: ECCN EAR99, HTSUS 8536.69.4040

The AXF6G3812 qualifies as a direct substitute because it maintains identical position count, mounting method, base product lineage, and regulatory compliance while offering active product status and enhanced technical documentation.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Recommendation: AXF6G3812

The AXF6G3812 is the direct equivalent for the obsolete AXF6G3832. Selection of this substitute is based on the following engineering factors:

1. Product Status Alignment: The AXF6G3812 carries Active product status, ensuring continued availability and manufacturer support, whereas the AXF6G3832 is Obsolete and subject to discontinuation.

2. Regulatory Compliance: Both parts maintain identical RoHS compliance status and carry the same ECCN and HTSUS classifications, ensuring no regulatory barriers to substitution.

3. Functional Equivalence: Both connectors share the same base product family (AXF6G3), position count (38), mounting technology (SMD), and moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1).

4. Documentation Enhancement: The AXF6G3812 provides complete technical specifications including pitch (0.40mm), row configuration (2 rows), contact finish (gold), and dimensional parameters, enabling precise PCB layout and assembly planning.

5. Supply Chain Continuity: Current inventory of 965 pieces for the AXF6G3812 contrasts with the obsolete status of the AXF6G3832, providing long-term sourcing stability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the AXF6G3812 be used as a direct replacement for the AXF6G3832 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical position count (38), mounting type (surface mount), base product family (AXF6G3), RoHS compliance, and MSL rating. The AXF6G3812 is the active equivalent of the obsolete AXF6G3832.

Q: What is the pitch specification for these connectors?

A: The AXF6G3812 operates at 0.016" (0.40mm) pitch with a 2-row configuration. This specification applies to the substitute part and should be verified against original design documentation for the AXF6G3832.

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

A: No. Both parts carry identical RoHS compliance status, ECCN classification (EAR99), and HTSUS code (8536.69.4040). No regulatory barriers exist to substitution.

Q: What is the contact finish specification?

A: The AXF6G3812 features gold contact finish. This specification is documented for the substitute part and should be cross-referenced with original design requirements for the AXF6G3832.

Q: Why is the AXF6G3832 classified as Obsolete?

A: The AXF6G3832 has reached end-of-life status with Panasonic Electric Works. The AXF6G3812 represents the active product line continuation within the same base product family.

Q: What are the dimensional specifications for PCB layout?

A: The AXF6G3812 provides the following dimensional data: mated stacking height of 1.5mm and height above board of 0.049" (1.25mm). These specifications should be incorporated into PCB design files.

Q: Is the moisture sensitivity rating the same for both parts?

A: Yes. Both the AXF6G3832 and AXF6G3812 carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage, handling, or assembly.
