Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the AXK720117G is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type: Socket with center strip and outer edge contacts
• Number of positions: 20
• Pitch: 0.016" (0.40mm)
• Number of rows: 2
• Mounting type: Surface mount
• Contact finish: Gold
• Series: P4
• Features: Board guide and solder retention

The AXK720317G qualifies as a direct substitute based on matching all electrical and mechanical parameters. The primary distinction is the mated stacking height and height above board, which differ due to packaging and design revision within the same product series.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The AXK720317G is the active equivalent for the obsolete AXK720117G within the Panasonic P4 series. Both connectors maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications for the core connector interface: 20 positions, 0.40mm pitch, gold-plated contacts, and surface mount configuration.

The AXK720317G carries RoHS Compliant status and is currently in active production with 699 units in stock, providing supply continuity for new designs and ongoing production requirements. The AXK720117G, while obsolete, remains available with 819 units in inventory.

The primary design difference is the increased mated stacking height (2.5mm to 3mm versus 1.5mm) and corresponding height above board (2.41mm versus 1.50mm) in the AXK720317G. This dimensional change must be evaluated against PCB layout constraints and mating connector specifications to ensure mechanical compatibility within the target application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can AXK720317G directly replace AXK720117G in existing designs?

A: Electrical compatibility is confirmed across all connector interface parameters. Mechanical compatibility depends on available PCB height and mating connector specifications. The increased stacking height of AXK720317G (2.5mm to 3mm versus 1.5mm) must be verified against design constraints.

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

A: Mated stacking height defines the vertical distance when the socket is mated with its corresponding plug connector. The AXK720317G provides greater stacking height options, which may affect PCB layout density and clearance requirements. This parameter must align with the mating plug connector specifications.

Q: Why is AXK720117G classified as obsolete?

A: Product status reflects Panasonic's manufacturing and support lifecycle. The AXK720317G represents the active continuation within the P4 series, offering equivalent functionality with current production support and RoHS compliance.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The AXK720117G packaging is not specified in available data. The AXK720317G is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, standard for high-volume surface mount assembly operations.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to both parts?

A: Both connectors carry ECCN EAR99 classification and HTSUS 8536.69.4040 tariff code. The AXK720317G is RoHS Compliant. Both maintain Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions during storage or handling.
