AXN324238P Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The AXN324238P 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 component is classified as obsolete, making identification of suitable substitute parts essential for ongoing production and maintenance applications. The part operates within unlimited moisture sensitivity parameters and is suitable for applications requiring reliable interconnection in compact form factors.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the AXN324238P is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type: Socket configuration with center strip contacts must be maintained
• Number of Positions: 24-position requirement is non-negotiable
• Number of Rows: 2-row configuration must be preserved
• Mounting Type: Surface mount capability is required
• Contact Finish: Gold plating specification must be matched
• Manufacturer: Panasonic Electric Works maintains compatibility within its product lines

The substitute part AXK5S24237YG meets the core functional requirements of socket type, 24-position count, 2-row configuration, surface mount capability, and gold contact finish. However, this substitute introduces a pitch change from 0.031" (0.80mm) to 0.020" (0.50mm), which represents a dimensional modification requiring PCB layout redesign. The height above board also changes from 0.205" (5.20mm) to 0.140" (4.65mm), affecting clearance considerations.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The AXK5S24237YG is the identified substitute for the obsolete AXN324238P. Both components are manufactured by Panasonic Electric Works and share identical moisture sensitivity classification (MSL 1). The substitute part carries active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain continuity.

The substitute part is RoHS compliant, providing regulatory advantage over the main part specification. Both components carry identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.69.4040) classifications.

Selection of the AXK5S24237YG requires accommodation of dimensional changes: the pitch reduction from 0.80mm to 0.50mm and height reduction from 5.20mm to 4.65mm necessitate PCB layout modification. These changes are mechanical in nature and do not affect electrical performance characteristics for 24-position socket connectivity.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can AXK5S24237YG be used as a direct drop-in replacement for AXN324238P?

A: No. While both are 24-position socket connectors with gold contacts from Panasonic Electric Works, the pitch changes from 0.031" (0.80mm) to 0.020" (0.50mm), requiring PCB redesign. The height above board also decreases from 0.205" (5.20mm) to 0.140" (4.65mm), affecting clearance requirements.

Q: What are the core compatibility criteria for substitution?

A: Substitution is based on maintaining connector type (socket with center strip contacts), position count (24), row configuration (2), mounting method (surface mount), and contact finish (gold). Pitch and height are secondary parameters that may be modified with design changes.

Q: Is the substitute part RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The AXK5S24237YG is RoHS compliant. The main part specification does not indicate RoHS status.

Q: What packaging is available for the substitute part?

A: The AXK5S24237YG is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging format.

Q: Are both parts classified under the same trade regulations?

A: Yes. Both the AXN324238P and AXK5S24237YG share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.69.4040) classifications.
