Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the AXG820044 is determined by strict alignment of the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

• Connector Position Count: 20 positions (fixed requirement)
• Contact Pitch: 0.014" (0.35mm) (fixed requirement)
• Row Configuration: 2 rows (fixed requirement)
• Mounting Technology: Surface Mount (fixed requirement)
• Contact Finish: Gold plating (fixed requirement)
• Mated Stacking Height: 0.6mm (fixed requirement)
• Height Above Board: 0.018" (0.46mm) (fixed requirement)
• Compliance: RoHS Compliant, MSL 1 (fixed requirement)

The AXF6D2012 qualifies as a substitute based on matching all critical parameters. The primary distinction is the connector type classification: AXG820044 functions as a plug with outer shroud contacts, while AXF6D2012 functions as a header with outer shroud contacts. Both components share identical electrical and mechanical specifications, enabling direct mating compatibility within the A35 series connector system.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The AXF6D2012 is the designated substitute for the obsolete AXG820044. Selection is based on the following engineering criteria:

Compliance & Certification: Both components maintain RoHS compliance and MSL 1 rating, ensuring regulatory alignment and environmental stability across manufacturing processes.

Product Status: While AXG820044 is obsolete, AXF6D2012 maintains active production status with confirmed inventory availability (607 pcs), ensuring supply chain continuity and long-term component sourcing.

Electrical & Mechanical Compatibility: All critical parameters—position count, pitch, row configuration, stacking height, and contact finish—are identical between the two components, enabling direct functional substitution within mated connector pairs.

Packaging Consideration: AXF6D2012 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, suitable for automated assembly processes. Verify packaging compatibility with existing production equipment specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can AXF6D2012 directly replace AXG820044 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both components share identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters: 20 positions, 0.014" pitch, 2-row configuration, 0.6mm mated stacking height, and gold contact finish. The functional difference—plug versus header—is a connector role designation, not a compatibility barrier. Mating compatibility is maintained within the A35 series system.

Q: What is the difference between a plug and a header in this context?

A: In rectangular connector terminology, a plug and header are complementary connector types designed to mate together. The AXG820044 plug mates with a corresponding header receptacle, while the AXF6D2012 header mates with a corresponding plug receptacle. Both are surface mount components with identical dimensional and electrical characteristics.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences?

A: No. Both components are RoHS compliant with MSL 1 rating. Regulatory and environmental specifications are identical.

Q: What packaging format is AXF6D2012 supplied in?

A: AXF6D2012 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, standard for automated surface mount assembly. Confirm compatibility with your production equipment specifications.

Q: Is AXF6D2012 currently available?

A: Yes. AXF6D2012 maintains active product status with 607 pcs in current inventory, ensuring supply availability for production requirements.

Q: Are there any height or dimensional restrictions I should consider?

A: No. Both components share identical height specifications: 0.018" (0.46mm) above board and 0.6mm mated stacking height. PCB layout and assembly clearance requirements remain unchanged.
