Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the AXK6L12337G is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type: Header with center strip contacts
• Number of Positions: 12 positions
• Pitch: 0.020" (0.50mm)
• Number of Rows: 2 rows
• Mounting Type: Surface mount
• Contact Finish: Gold plating
• Features: Board guide

The AXK6F12537YG qualifies as a substitute based on matching all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. Variations in mated stacking height and height above board do not preclude substitution, as these dimensions are determined by connector design and do not affect the core functional interface. The substitute part is manufactured by the same supplier and maintains identical position count, pitch, and contact configuration.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The AXK6F12537YG is the designated substitute for the obsolete AXK6L12337G. Both parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical interface specifications, ensuring functional compatibility in applications requiring 12-position, dual-row, surface mount header connectors with 0.50mm pitch and gold-plated contacts.

The substitute part carries Active product status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain support. Both parts are classified as MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity constraints during storage or handling.

Selection between these parts should be based on application-specific requirements regarding mated stacking height and height above board. The AXK6F12537YG exhibits greater stacking height (2.5mm versus 1.2mm) and increased height above board (1.75mm versus 0.95mm), which may impact PCB layout and mechanical clearance considerations in space-constrained applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the AXK6F12537YG directly replace the AXK6L12337G in existing designs?

A: Yes, the AXK6F12537YG provides functional equivalence for the obsolete AXK6L12337G. Both parts share identical position count, pitch, row configuration, and contact finish. Design verification is required only if PCB layout constraints are affected by the increased stacking height (2.5mm versus 1.2mm) or height above board (1.75mm versus 0.95mm).

Q: What are the key differences between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are product status and physical dimensions. The AXK6L12337G is obsolete, while the AXK6F12537YG is active. The substitute part has greater mated stacking height and height above board. All electrical and mechanical interface parameters remain identical.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The AXK6L12337G packaging information is not specified in the available data. The AXK6F12537YG is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, which is standard for surface mount components and facilitates automated assembly processes.

Q: Do both parts have the same moisture sensitivity requirements?

A: Yes, both parts are classified as MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity constraints. Standard handling and storage practices are sufficient for both components.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to these parts?

A: Both parts are classified under ECCN EAR99 and HTSUS 8536.69.4040. The AXK6F12537YG carries RoHS Compliant status. Both parts are REACH Unaffected.
