AXN320038P Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The AXN320038P is a 20-position rectangular connector socket manufactured by Panasonic Electric Works, designed for surface mount applications with center strip contacts and gold plating. This component is classified as obsolete, making identification of suitable substitute parts essential for ongoing production and maintenance applications. The connector features a 0.031" (0.80mm) pitch configuration with dual-row arrangement and board guide features, suitable for applications requiring reliable interconnection in compact form factors.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the AXN320038P is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type: Socket configuration with center strip contacts
• Number of Positions: 20-position arrangement
• Number of Rows: Dual-row configuration
• Mounting Type: Surface mount technology
• Contact Finish: Gold plating for corrosion resistance and electrical performance

The substitute part AXK5S20047YG shares the core functional characteristics of socket type, 20-position count, dual-row layout, surface mount capability, and gold contact finish. However, this substitute operates at a different pitch specification (0.020" versus 0.031"), which represents a fundamental geometric difference. This pitch variation affects PCB footprint design, contact spacing, and mechanical compatibility. Substitution is therefore conditional upon design accommodation for the altered pitch specification and resulting dimensional changes.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The AXK5S20047YG represents an active product alternative to the obsolete AXN320038P. Both components share identical moisture sensitivity classification (MSL 1) and are manufactured by the same supplier, ensuring consistent quality standards and supply chain reliability.

The primary distinction between these parts is the pitch specification: the substitute operates at 0.020" (0.50mm) pitch compared to the main part's 0.031" (0.80mm) pitch. This geometric difference necessitates PCB layout modification and cannot be accommodated through simple component substitution without design revision.

The substitute part demonstrates superior compliance posture, with explicit RoHS compliance certification. The main part's compliance status is not specified in available documentation. The substitute's active product status ensures ongoing availability and manufacturer support, contrasting with the obsolete classification of the main part.

Selection of the AXK5S20047YG requires confirmation that the application design can accommodate the modified pitch specification and the increased height above board (3.05mm versus 2.20mm).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the AXK5S20047YG be used as a direct drop-in replacement for the AXN320038P?

A: No. While both connectors share the same position count, row configuration, and contact type, the pitch difference (0.020" versus 0.031") requires PCB footprint redesign. Direct substitution without layout modification will result in mechanical misalignment and connection failure.

Q: What is the significance of the pitch difference between these two connectors?

A: Pitch defines the center
