AXK7L16223G Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The AXK7L16223G is a 16-position rectangular connector socket manufactured by Panasonic Electric Works, designed for surface mount applications with center strip contacts and gold plating. This connector is classified as obsolete, which necessitates identification of active equivalent alternatives for ongoing production and maintenance applications. Substitute parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications while offering current product status and availability.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the AXK7L16223G are qualified based on strict parametric equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical specifications. The substitution logic is determined by the following parameters:

16-position socket configuration with center strip contacts
0.016" (0.40mm) pitch spacing
2-row arrangement
Surface mount technology with solder retention
Gold contact finish
0.9mm mated stacking height and 0.034" (0.86mm) height above board
F4 series classification
Moisture Sensitivity Level 1

Both substitute parts (AXK7L16217G and AXK7L16227G) maintain complete parametric alignment with the main part across all specified dimensions, contact configuration, and environmental ratings. The primary distinction between the main part and substitutes is product status: the main part is obsolete, while both substitutes are active products with current manufacturing and availability.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both AXK7L16217G and AXK7L16227G are direct parametric equivalents to the AXK7L16223G. Selection between these substitutes should be based on the following factors:

Product Status: Both substitute parts are active products with current manufacturing support, eliminating supply chain risk associated with the obsolete main part.

Compliance: Both substitutes are RoHS Compliant, providing regulatory advantage over the main part where RoHS status is not specified. This compliance is relevant for applications subject to RoHS directives.

Availability: Both substitutes maintain higher inventory levels (1091 Pcs for AXK7L16217G and 1117 Pcs for AXK7L16227G) compared to the main part (783 Pcs), supporting production continuity.

Electrical and Mechanical Compatibility: All three parts share identical specifications across connector type, position count, pitch, mounting configuration, contact finish, and dimensional parameters. Direct substitution is supported without circuit board redesign or assembly process modification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can AXK7L16217G and AXK7L16227G be used interchangeably with AXK7L16223G?

A: Yes. Both substitute parts maintain complete parametric equivalence with the main part across all electrical and mechanical specifications, including connector type, position count, pitch, mounting type, contact finish, and dimensional parameters. Direct substitution is supported without design or assembly changes.

Q: What is the primary reason for substitution?

A: The AXK7L16223G is classified as obsolete. The substitute parts (AXK7L16217G and AXK7L16227G) are active products with current manufacturing and improved availability, ensuring long-term supply chain reliability.

Q: Are there differences in RoHS compliance between the main part and substitutes?

A: The main part does not specify RoHS status. Both substitute parts are explicitly RoHS Compliant, providing regulatory advantage for applications subject to RoHS directives.

Q: Do the substitute parts require any changes to printed circuit board design or assembly processes?

A: No. All three parts share identical mounting type (surface mount), pitch (0.016"/0.40mm), dimensional parameters, and packaging format (Tape & Reel). Existing PCB layouts and assembly processes are fully compatible with both substitutes.

Q: What is the difference between AXK7L16217G and AXK7L16227G?

A: Both parts are parametric equivalents with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The difference lies in the base product number designation (AXK7L16217 versus AXK7L16227), which reflects internal Panasonic product line differentiation. Both are active, RoHS Compliant, and suitable for direct substitution.

Q: Are moisture sensitivity levels identical across all three parts?

A: Yes. All three parts are rated at Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage, handling, or assembly.
