AXK6L50337G Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The AXK6L50337G is a 50-position rectangular connector header manufactured by Panasonic Electric Works, designed for surface mount applications with center strip contacts and gold plating. This component is classified as obsolete, which necessitates identification of functionally equivalent alternatives for ongoing production and maintenance applications. The part features a 0.020" (0.50mm) pitch configuration with dual-row arrangement and board guide features suitable for high-density interconnect requirements.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the AXK6L50337G is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type: Header with center strip contacts
• Number of Positions: 50
• Pitch: 0.020" (0.50mm)
• Number of Rows: 2
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount
• Contact Finish: Gold
• Features: Board Guide

The AXK6F50537YG meets all these core electrical and mechanical requirements. While physical dimensions differ (mated stacking height and height above board), the functional interface and contact configuration remain compatible for applications where the original AXK6L50337G was specified.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The AXK6F50537YG is the designated substitute for the obsolete AXK6L50337G. Selection of this alternative is based on:

• Functional Equivalence: Identical connector type, position count, pitch, row configuration, and contact finish
• Product Status: The substitute is active and currently in production, ensuring supply chain continuity
• Compliance: The substitute carries RoHS Compliant certification, meeting modern regulatory requirements
• Availability: 1039 units in stock versus 888 units of the obsolete part

Physical dimension differences (mated stacking height and height above board) must be evaluated against specific application constraints. The increased height above board (1.75mm versus 0.95mm) and mated stacking height (2.5mm versus 1.2mm) may require PCB layout or mechanical housing adjustments in space-constrained designs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can AXK6F50537YG directly replace AXK6L50337G without PCB modifications?

A: The connectors share identical electrical interfaces and contact configurations. However, the increased height above board requires verification that mechanical clearance exists in the final assembly. PCB layout modifications are not necessary, but mechanical housing or component placement may require adjustment.

Q: What is the significance of the different series designations (P5KL versus P5KF)?

A: The series designation reflects the product line evolution within Panasonic Electric Works' connector portfolio. Both series maintain the same core electrical and mechanical specifications for the 50-position, 0.020" pitch header configuration.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between the two parts?

A: The substitute part (AXK6F50537YG) is RoHS Compliant, while the main part status is not specified. Both parts carry identical Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL 1) and ECCN classifications.

Q: What packaging options are available for the substitute part?

A: The AXK6F50537YG is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging, suitable for automated assembly processes.

Q: How do the mated stacking heights affect connector selection?

A: Mated stacking height determines the compressed height when the connector is fully mated. The substitute's 2.5mm stacking height versus the original 1.2mm may impact applications with strict vertical space constraints or specific mating force requirements. This parameter must be evaluated against the receiving connector specifications.
