Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the AXK5L60337G is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Configuration: 60 positions, 2 rows, 0.50mm pitch
• Connector Type: Socket with outer shroud contacts
• Mounting Technology: Surface mount
• Contact Material: Gold plating
• Mechanical Features: Board guide integration
• Environmental Classification: Moisture Sensitivity Level 1

The substitute part AXK5F60537YG maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters, ensuring functional compatibility in applications originally designed for the AXK5L60337G.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The AXK5F60537YG serves as the direct functional equivalent to the obsolete AXK5L60337G. Both components share identical electrical and mechanical specifications, including connector configuration, pitch, contact material, and mounting technology. The primary distinction is product status: the AXK5L60337G is obsolete, while the AXK5F60537YG maintains active production status.

The substitute part offers additional compliance advantages, including RoHS compliance certification and availability in standard Tape & Reel packaging, which supports modern manufacturing workflows. The mated stacking height specification differs between the two parts (1.2mm for the main part versus 2mm/2.5mm for the substitute), reflecting design evolution within the same connector family while maintaining functional compatibility.

Selection of the AXK5F60537YG is appropriate for new designs and production continuity where the AXK5L60337G is no longer available.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the AXK5L60337G and AXK5F60537YG electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both components maintain identical electrical specifications: 60 positions, 0.50mm pitch, 2-row configuration, gold-plated contacts, and socket connector type with outer shroud contacts. They are functionally equivalent for electrical interconnect applications.

Q: What is the significance of the different mated stacking heights?

A: The AXK5L60337G specifies 1.2mm mated stacking height, while the AXK5F60537YG specifies 2mm or 2.5mm. This reflects design evolution within the P5K connector family. Stacking height differences may affect mechanical clearance in applications with tight vertical constraints. Verify available board space before substitution.

Q: Why is the AXK5L60337G classified as obsolete?

A: Obsolescence indicates the manufacturer has discontinued production. The AXK5F60537YG represents the active production equivalent, ensuring continued component availability and supply chain reliability.

Q: Does RoHS compliance affect substitution suitability?

A: The AXK5F60537YG carries RoHS compliance certification, meeting environmental and regulatory requirements for many applications. If RoHS compliance is a design requirement, the substitute part satisfies this criterion. The main part's RoHS status is not specified.

Q: Are packaging differences significant for component selection?

A: The AXK5L60337G is supplied in bulk packaging, while the AXK5F60537YG is supplied in Tape & Reel format. Tape & Reel packaging is standard for automated assembly processes. Verify your assembly equipment compatibility with the packaging format before procurement.

Q: Can the AXK5F60537YG be used in existing designs originally specified for the AXK5L60337G?

A: Yes, provided mechanical clearance accommodates the different mated stacking height specification. Verify board layout and mating component clearance to ensure the substitute part fits within available space constraints.
