Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the AXG816044 is determined by strict alignment of the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

• Connector Configuration: 16 positions, 2 rows, 0.014" (0.35mm) pitch
• Mounting Technology: Surface mount only
• Contact System: Gold plating for signal integrity and corrosion resistance
• Physical Envelope: Mated stacking height of 0.6mm and height above board of 0.018" (0.46mm)
• Compliance Requirements: RoHS compliance and MSL 1 rating
• Connector Orientation: Outer shroud contacts design

The AXF6D1612 qualifies as a substitute based on matching all critical parameters. The primary distinction is connector type: AXG816044 is a plug configuration while AXF6D1612 is a header configuration. Both components share identical electrical and mechanical specifications, allowing them to function as mating pairs within the A35 series connector family.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The AXF6D1612 serves as the direct substitute for the obsolete AXG816044 based on complete electrical and mechanical parameter alignment. The substitute maintains active product status with Panasonic Electric Works, ensuring continued availability and supply chain reliability. Both components carry identical RoHS compliance and MSL 1 ratings, confirming suitability for equivalent environmental and storage conditions.

The functional distinction between plug and header configurations is intentional within the A35 series architecture. The AXF6D1612 header is designed to mate with plug connectors such as the AXG816044, forming complete connector pairs. When the AXG816044 reaches end-of-life, the AXF6D1612 remains available as the complementary component for new production or replacement applications requiring 16-position, 0.35mm pitch surface mount rectangular connectors.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the AXF6D1612 directly replace the AXG816044 in existing designs?

A: The AXF6D1612 is a header component while the AXG816044 is a plug. They are complementary mating components, not direct one-to-one replacements. If your application uses the AXG816044 as a plug connector, you require a header component to mate with it. The AXF6D1612 serves this header function with identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Q: What are the critical parameters for confirming connector compatibility?

A: Compatibility is determined by: 16-position count, 0.014" (0.35mm) pitch, 2-row configuration, surface mount technology, gold contact finish, 0.6mm mated stacking height, and 0.018" (0.46mm) height above board. All these parameters must match exactly.

Q: Does the product status difference affect substitution?

A: The AXG816044 is obsolete while the AXF6D1612 is active. This difference is favorable for substitution purposes, as the active status of AXF6D1612 ensures continued manufacturing and supply availability.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: Yes. The AXG816044 is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) and Digi-Reel® packaging, while the AXF6D1612 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging. Both packaging formats are standard for surface mount components and do not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance requirements?

A: Yes. Both the AXG816044 and AXF6D1612 are RoHS compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) ratings, ECCN EAR99 classification, and HTSUS 8536.69.4040 tariff code, confirming equivalent regulatory and environmental compliance.
