Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the AXN324038J is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type: Socket, Center Strip Contacts (must match)
• Number of Positions: 24 (must match)
• Number of Rows: 2 (must match)
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount (must match)
• Contact Finish: Gold (must match)
• Manufacturer: Panasonic Electric Works (preferred for compatibility assurance)

The AXK5S24037YG qualifies as a substitute part. While it operates at a different pitch specification (0.020" versus 0.031"), it maintains the same connector type, position count, row configuration, mounting method, and contact finish. The pitch difference represents a design evolution within the Panasonic connector portfolio, with the AXK5S24037YG belonging to the newer P5KS series. Both parts are manufactured by the same supplier and share identical functional classification as rectangular connector sockets with center strip contacts.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The AXK5S24037YG is the designated substitute for the obsolete AXN324038J. Selection of this substitute is supported by the following factors:

• Product Status: The AXK5S24037YG maintains active production status, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain reliability.
• Compliance: The AXK5S24037YG is RoHS compliant, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements.
• Functional Equivalence: Both parts share identical connector classification, position count, row configuration, and mounting methodology.
• Manufacturer Continuity: Both components are manufactured by Panasonic Electric Works, ensuring design consistency and quality standards.

The pitch difference (0.031" to 0.020") and height variations represent design refinements in the successor series. PCB layout modifications may be required to accommodate the tighter pitch and increased height above board of the substitute part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the AXK5S24037YG directly replace the AXN324038J without PCB modifications?

A: Direct replacement without PCB modifications is not possible. The AXK5S24037YG operates at a 0.020" (0.50mm) pitch compared to the AXN324038J's 0.031" (0.80mm) pitch. This difference requires PCB footprint redesign. Additionally, the AXK5S24037YG has a height above board of 0.120" (3.05mm) versus 0.087" (2.20mm) for the original part, necessitating clearance verification.

Q: What are the key compatibility criteria for substituting the AXN324038J?

A: Substitute parts must maintain the following specifications: 24-position socket configuration, 2-row arrangement, center strip contact design, surface mount mounting type, and gold contact finish. The AXK5S24037YG satisfies all these criteria.

Q: Is the AXK5S24037YG RoHS compliant?

A: Yes, the AXK5S24037YG is RoHS compliant. The RoHS status of the original AXN324038J is not specified in available documentation.

Q: What packaging is available for the AXK5S24037YG?

A: The AXK5S24037YG is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging format.

Q: Are both parts manufactured by the same company?

A: Yes, both the AXN324038J and AXK5S24037YG are manufactured by Panasonic Electric Works, ensuring consistent quality standards and design philosophy.
