Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution compatibility for the AXG7240J7 is determined by alignment across the following critical parameters:

• Pitch specification: 0.014" (0.35mm) — ensures mechanical and electrical compatibility with mating connectors
• Mounting technology: Surface Mount — maintains PCB assembly process compatibility
• Contact finish: Gold plating — preserves electrical performance and corrosion resistance
• Connector series family: Panasonic Electric Works A35 series — ensures mechanical interchangeability
• Mated stacking height and board clearance: 0.6mm and 0.023" (0.59mm) — confirms spatial compatibility in existing designs
• RoHS and MSL compliance: Maintains regulatory and environmental standards

The AXF5D2412 qualifies as a substitute based on these parameters. While the AXF5D2412 is a receptacle (versus socket) with 24 positions (versus 26), it operates within the same pitch, mounting, finish, and compliance framework, making it suitable for applications requiring compatible mating geometry within the A35 series connector family.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The AXF5D2412 is the designated substitute for the obsolete AXG7240J7. Selection is based on the following engineering criteria:

Product Status: The AXG7240J7 is obsolete; the AXF5D2412 maintains active production status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity.

Compliance Alignment: Both parts maintain RoHS compliance and MSL 1 rating, satisfying regulatory and environmental requirements without modification to existing designs.

Mechanical and Electrical Compatibility: Identical pitch (0.014"), mounting technology (Surface Mount), contact finish (Gold), and stacking dimensions ensure direct substitution within the A35 series connector family.

Position Difference: The AXF5D2412 provides 24 positions compared to the AXG7240J7's 26 positions. Design integration requires confirmation that the reduced position count aligns with application requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the AXF5D2412 directly replace the AXG7240J7 in existing assemblies?

A: The AXF5D2412 is mechanically and electrically compatible based on shared pitch, mounting type, contact finish, and stacking dimensions. However, the position count difference (24 versus 26) requires design review to confirm functional compatibility with the mating connector and circuit requirements.

Q: What is the significance of the connector type difference (Socket versus Receptacle)?

A: Socket and receptacle designations indicate contact geometry orientation. Both are center strip contact designs within the A35 series and operate at identical pitch and stacking heights. The specific application determines which type is required for the mating interface.

Q: Are there packaging considerations when transitioning from AXG7240J7 to AXF5D2412?

A: The AXG7240J7 packaging is unspecified in available data. The AXF5D2412 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, which is standard for surface mount production. Confirm packaging compatibility with assembly process requirements.

Q: Does the series designation difference (A35US versus A35UH) affect substitution?

A: Both parts belong to the Panasonic Electric Works A35 connector family. The series suffix indicates internal design variants within the same mechanical and electrical framework. Compatibility is maintained across the A35 family for the specified parameters.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to both parts?

A: Both the AXG7240J7 and AXF5D2412 are RoHS compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating. ECCN classification is EAR99 for both parts, and HTSUS code 8536.69.4040 applies to both.
