Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the AXG860044A is determined by strict alignment of the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

• Connector Type: Must be Header, Outer Shroud Contacts (complementary mating interface to the plug configuration)
• Number of Positions: Must be 60 positions
• Pitch: Must be 0.014" (0.35mm)
• Number of Rows: Must be 2 rows
• Mounting Type: Must be Surface Mount
• Contact Finish: Must be Gold
• Mated Stacking Height: Must be 0.6mm
• Height Above Board: Must be 0.018" (0.46mm)
• RoHS Status: Must be RoHS Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: Must be 1 (Unlimited)

The AXF6D6012 meets all substitution criteria as a header configuration within the A35UH series, providing direct mating compatibility with the AXG860044A plug while maintaining identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The AXF6D6012 serves as the direct substitute for the obsolete AXG860044A. Both components maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters, including position count, pitch, mounting configuration, and contact finish. The primary distinction lies in connector orientation: AXG860044A functions as a plug while AXF6D6012 functions as a header, establishing complementary mating pairs within the A35 series connector family.

The AXF6D6012 carries active product status with current manufacturing availability, eliminating supply chain constraints associated with the obsolete AXG860044A. Both parts maintain full RoHS compliance and MSL 1 rating, ensuring compatibility with modern manufacturing and storage requirements. Packaging differs between Strip format for the main part and Tape & Reel format for the substitute, accommodating different assembly and procurement workflows.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the AXF6D6012 directly replace the AXG860044A in existing designs?

A: The AXF6D6012 provides electrical and mechanical compatibility as the complementary header to the AXG860044A plug. Both components share identical position count (60), pitch (0.014"), row configuration (2), mounting type (Surface Mount), contact finish (Gold), and stacking heights. Direct substitution is valid for applications requiring mating connector pairs within the A35 series.

Q: What is the functional difference between the plug and header configurations?

A: The AXG860044A plug and AXF6D6012 header represent complementary connector halves designed to mate together. The plug configuration (AXG860044A) inserts into the header configuration (AXF6D6012). Both maintain identical electrical performance and mechanical dimensions, with substitution validity determined by the mating interface requirement in the application.

Q: Are there packaging considerations when switching from AXG860044A to AXF6D6012?

A: The AXG860044A is supplied in Strip packaging, while the AXF6D6012 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format. This difference affects procurement quantity minimums, storage handling, and automated assembly compatibility. Tape & Reel packaging is standard for high-volume surface mount production environments.

Q: Do both parts meet current compliance requirements?

A: Both the AXG860044A and AXF6D6012 are RoHS Compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating. These certifications ensure compatibility with current manufacturing standards and storage conditions without special handling requirements.

Q: Why is the AXG860044A listed as obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates the part is no longer in active production. The AXF6D6012 represents the active equivalent within the A35 series connector family, providing continued access to functionally identical connector technology with current manufacturing support.
