Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the AXG840044A are identified based on strict electrical and mechanical compatibility criteria. The following parameters must align for valid substitution:

• Number of Positions: 40
• Pitch: 0.014" (0.35mm)
• Number of Rows: 2
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount
• Contact Finish: Gold
• Mated Stacking Heights: 0.6mm
• Height Above Board: 0.018" (0.46mm)
• RoHS Compliance: Required

The primary distinction between the main part and substitutes is the connector type (plug versus header) and product status. Both substitute parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications while offering active product status and improved availability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both substitute parts maintain full electrical and mechanical compatibility with the AXG840044A across all critical parameters. Selection between substitutes should be based on the following factors:

AXF6D4012 is supplied in Tape & Reel packaging and carries active product status with standard RoHS compliance. This option is suitable for high-volume production environments where automated handling and continuous supply are required.

AXG240144A is supplied in Strip packaging and carries active product status with ROHS3 compliance, indicating enhanced environmental standards. This option is suitable for applications requiring the highest compliance certifications and moderate to low-volume requirements.

Both parts are manufactured by Panasonic Electric Works and share the same electrical and mechanical specifications as the original AXG840044A, ensuring direct functional equivalence in mated connector pairs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can AXF6D4012 or AXG240144A be used as direct replacements for AXG840044A?

A: Both substitute parts are electrically and mechanically compatible with AXG840044A. However, the connector type differs: AXG840044A is a plug, while both substitutes are headers. Compatibility depends on the mating connector type in your application. If your system uses a header receptacle, the plug substitute is required. If your system uses a plug receptacle, the header substitutes are appropriate.

Q: What is the difference between the two substitute parts?

A: AXF6D4012 and AXG240144A share identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The primary differences are packaging format (Tape & Reel versus Strip) and RoHS certification level (RoHS versus ROHS3). Select based on your procurement and compliance requirements.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between the main part and substitutes?

A: All three parts are RoHS compliant. AXG240144A carries ROHS3 certification, representing a higher compliance standard. All parts maintain MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating and EAR99 export classification.

Q: What packaging options are available?

A: AXG840044A and AXG240144A are supplied in Strip packaging. AXF6D4012 is supplied in Tape & Reel format, which is standard for automated assembly processes.

Q: Are the mating heights identical across all three parts?

A: Yes. All three parts maintain 0.6mm mated stacking heights and 0.018" (0.46mm) height above board, ensuring consistent PCB assembly profiles.
