Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the AXG8340J4 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Pitch (0.014" / 0.35mm): Establishes contact spacing and PCB footprint compatibility
• Number of Rows (2): Defines physical layout and mating interface geometry
• Mounting Type (Surface Mount): Ensures assembly process compatibility
• Contact Finish (Gold): Maintains electrical performance and corrosion resistance
• Mated Stacking Height (0.6mm): Ensures mechanical fit within mated connector pairs
• Height Above Board (0.018" / 0.46mm): Confirms clearance and assembly compatibility
• RoHS Compliance: Meets regulatory requirements for lead-free manufacturing

The substitute part AXF6D3412 shares these core parameters with the main part, enabling functional equivalence within the A35 series connector family.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The AXG8340J4 is an obsolete component. The AXF6D3412 is an active substitute within the Panasonic A35 series connector family, offering equivalent electrical and mechanical characteristics with current manufacturing support.

Both parts maintain RoHS compliance and identical moisture sensitivity ratings, ensuring regulatory and environmental compatibility. The primary distinction is connector orientation: the main part is a plug configuration while the substitute is a header configuration. Selection between these parts depends on the mating interface requirement within the application circuit.

The AXF6D3412 provides design continuity for applications previously using the AXG8340J4, with the advantage of active product status and ongoing availability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can AXF6D3412 directly replace AXG8340J4 in existing designs?

A: Direct replacement requires verification of mating interface compatibility. The AXG8340J4 is a plug; the AXF6D3412 is a header. Both share identical pitch (0.35mm), row configuration (2), and stacking heights (0.6mm). Substitution is valid only if the mating connector type aligns with the header configuration.

Q: What is the significance of the position count difference (36 vs. 34)?

A: The AXG8340J4 includes 34 signal positions plus 2 dedicated power positions. The AXF6D3412 provides 34 total positions. Circuit design must account for this difference in power distribution architecture.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both AXG8340J4 and AXF6D3412 are RoHS compliant with identical moisture sensitivity levels (MSL 1, Unlimited).

Q: What packaging is available for the substitute part?

A: The AXF6D3412 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging, suitable for automated assembly processes.

Q: Why is the main part obsolete?

A: The AXG8340J4 is classified as obsolete by the manufacturer. The AXF6D3412 represents the active equivalent within the current product portfolio.
