AXN324038S Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The AXN324038S is a 24-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, making identification of suitable substitute components essential for ongoing production, maintenance, and design continuity. The part features a 0.031" (0.80mm) pitch configuration with a 2-row layout and board guide features, operating at unlimited moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1).

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the AXN324038S 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 substitute part AXK5S24037YG shares the core functional characteristics of the main part. However, the pitch specification differs: the substitute operates at 0.020" (0.50mm) versus the original 0.031" (0.80mm). This pitch difference represents a fundamental change in the connector's physical footprint and contact spacing, which affects PCB layout compatibility and mating interface dimensions. The substitute also exhibits different height above board (0.120" vs. 0.087") and mated stacking height ranges (4mm, 5mm, 6mm vs. 3mm, 4mm, 5mm).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The AXK5S24037YG is an active product from the same manufacturer with RoHS compliance certification, providing supply chain continuity for the obsolete AXN324038S. Both parts maintain identical moisture sensitivity levels and share the same connector type, position count, row configuration, and mounting methodology.

Selection of AXK5S24037YG requires validation of pitch compatibility with existing PCB designs. The 0.020" (0.50mm) pitch of the substitute differs from the 0.031" (0.80mm) pitch of the original part, necessitating PCB layout modification. Similarly, the increased height above board (0.120" versus 0.087") and modified mated stacking height range must be evaluated against mechanical clearance constraints and mating interface specifications in the target application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can AXK5S24037YG be used as a direct replacement for AXN324038S without PCB modification?

A: No. The pitch difference (0.020" versus 0.031") and height above board difference (0.120" versus 0.087") require PCB layout changes. Direct substitution without design modification is not possible.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two parts?

A: The primary difference is pitch specification. AXN324038S uses 0.031" (0.80mm) pitch, while AXK5S24037YG uses 0.020" (0.50mm) pitch. This affects contact spacing, PCB footprint, and overall connector dimensions.

Q: Does the substitute part meet RoHS requirements?

A: Yes. AXK5S24037YG is RoHS Compliant. The original part's RoHS status is not specified in available documentation.

Q: Are both parts available from the same manufacturer?

A: Yes. Both AXN324038S and AXK5S24037YG are manufactured by Panasonic Electric Works.

Q: What packaging is available for the substitute part?

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

Q: Can the mated stacking heights be mixed between the original and substitute parts?

A: No. The original part supports 3mm, 4mm, and 5mm stacking heights, while the substitute supports 4mm, 5mm, and 6mm. Mating interface compatibility must be verified for the specific stacking height required in the application.
