Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the AXK720347GA is determined by strict parametric equivalence across the following critical dimensions:

Connector Configuration: Socket type with center strip and outer edge contacts
Electrical Interface: 20 positions at 0.016" (0.40mm) pitch in a 2-row arrangement
Physical Form Factor: Surface mount package with 0.095" (2.41mm) height above board
Contact Material: Gold plating for consistent electrical performance
Environmental Classification: MSL 1 rating for unlimited moisture exposure

The substitute part AXK720347A maintains identical parametric specifications across all these dimensions, confirming full functional and mechanical interchangeability. Both parts share the same base product number (AXK720347) and series designation (P4), indicating they are variants within the same product family.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both AXK720347GA and AXK720347A are active production parts from Panasonic Electric Works with full compliance certifications. Selection between these parts should be based on the following factors:

AXK720347GA carries RoHS Compliant certification and is the primary specification. This part is recommended for applications where the original design specification must be maintained without deviation.

AXK720347A carries ROHS3 Compliant certification and includes REACH Unaffected status. This variant is suitable for applications requiring enhanced regulatory documentation or when ROHS3 compliance is explicitly required by procurement or end-use specifications.

Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The selection between them is driven by regulatory compliance requirements and inventory availability rather than functional performance differences. Current inventory levels support either selection without supply chain constraints.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are AXK720347GA and AXK720347A fully interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts are parametrically equivalent across all electrical and mechanical dimensions, including connector type, position count, pitch, mounting configuration, contact finish, and form factor. They are direct substitutes within the same P4 series family.

Q: What is the difference between RoHS Compliant and ROHS3 Compliant?

A: RoHS Compliant indicates conformance to the original Restriction of Hazardous Substances directive. ROHS3 Compliant indicates conformance to the updated RoHS 3 directive (2015/863/EU), which includes additional restricted substances. Both certifications confirm the absence of hazardous materials; ROHS3 represents a more current regulatory standard.

Q: Can I use AXK720347A as a drop-in replacement for AXK720347GA?

A: Yes. The parts share identical physical dimensions, electrical specifications, and mounting requirements. No design modifications or PCB layout changes are required for substitution.

Q: What does MSL 1 (Unlimited) mean for this connector?

A: MSL 1 indicates the lowest moisture sensitivity level. This connector can be stored and handled without moisture-controlled environments and has unlimited shelf life under standard conditions.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences I should consider?

A: Both parts carry EAR99 export classification and 8536.69.4040 HTSUS coding. The primary difference is RoHS certification version. AXK720347A additionally carries REACH Unaffected status. Select based on your specific regulatory requirements.

Q: What is the current inventory situation for these parts?

A: AXK720347GA has 1035 units in stock, and AXK720347A has 785 units in stock. Both are available for immediate procurement.
