AXG8100J4A Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The AXG8100J4A is a 12-position rectangular connector plug manufactured by Panasonic Electric Works, featuring outer shroud contacts and surface mount gold plating. This component is classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives essential for ongoing production support and design updates. The connector is part of the A35US series and maintains RoHS compliance with MSL 1 rating, suitable for applications requiring reliable surface mount interconnection with solder retention.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the AXG8100J4A is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type: Plug with outer shroud contacts
• Pitch: 0.014" (0.35mm)
• Number of Rows: 2
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount
• Contact Finish: Gold
• Mated Stacking Height: 0.6mm
• Height Above Board: 0.018" (0.46mm)
• Series: A35US
• Features: Solder Retention
• RoHS Compliance: Required

The identified substitute AXG810044A maintains compatibility across all mechanical and electrical parameters with one exception: position count differs at 10 positions versus the original 12 positions (10 + 2 Power). This difference represents a functional reduction in signal capacity and must be evaluated against specific application requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the AXG8100J4A and AXG810044A maintain identical compliance certifications, including RoHS compliance and MSL 1 rating. The primary distinction lies in position count: the main part provides 12 positions (10 signal + 2 power), while the substitute provides 10 positions without dedicated power contacts.

Selection between these components depends on application-specific signal and power distribution requirements. The AXG810044A is suitable only for applications requiring 10 or fewer signal connections without dedicated power contact separation. Both components share identical mechanical footprints, pitch spacing, and surface mount characteristics, ensuring PCB layout compatibility when position count requirements are met.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can AXG810044A directly replace AXG8100J4A in all applications?

A: Direct replacement is limited to applications requiring 10 or fewer connector positions. The AXG810044A lacks the two dedicated power contacts present in the AXG8100J4A. Circuit redesign may be necessary if the original design utilizes all 12 positions.

Q: Are the physical footprints identical between these connectors?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical pitch (0.014" / 0.35mm), row configuration (2 rows), mated stacking height (0.6mm), and height above board (0.018" / 0.46mm). PCB land patterns are compatible when position count requirements align.

Q: Do both parts meet current RoHS requirements?

A: Yes. Both AXG8100J4A and AXG810044A are RoHS compliant with MSL 1 rating, suitable for standard manufacturing and storage conditions without moisture sensitivity constraints.

Q: Why are both parts marked as obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates these components are no longer in active production by Panasonic Electric Works. Existing inventory remains available, but long-term sourcing should consider alternative current-production connector families within the A35US series or equivalent rectangular connector lines.

Q: What is the significance of the gold contact finish?

A: Gold plating provides enhanced corrosion resistance and reliable electrical contact performance. This finish is standard for both parts and ensures consistent mating characteristics across multiple connection cycles.
