Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the AXN324C238P 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 for pin compatibility
• Number of Rows: 2-row configuration must be preserved
• Mounting Type: Surface mount capability is required
• Contact Finish: Gold plating specification must be matched
• Pitch Compatibility: While the main part operates at 0.031" (0.80mm) pitch, substitute parts may operate at different pitch specifications if the connector footprint and mating interface remain functionally compatible

The AXK5S24247YG qualifies as a substitute based on matching connector type, position count, row configuration, surface mount capability, and gold contact finish. This part is currently in active production status, addressing the obsolescence of the original component.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The AXK5S24247YG is the designated substitute for the obsolete AXN324C238P. Selection of this substitute is based on the following engineering criteria:

• Product Status Alignment: The substitute part is in active production, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity
• Regulatory Compliance: The AXK5S24247YG carries RoHS compliance certification, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements
• Functional Equivalence: Both parts maintain identical connector type, position count, row configuration, and contact finish specifications
• Moisture Sensitivity: Both parts operate at MSL 1 (Unlimited), ensuring equivalent environmental performance
• Mechanical Compatibility: While pitch and height specifications differ, both parts are designed for surface mount applications with compatible mating interfaces

The dimensional differences in pitch and height above board must be evaluated within the context of the specific application's PCB layout and mating connector specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Why is the AXN324C238P classified as obsolete? A: The AXN324C238P has been discontinued by Panasonic Electric Works. The AXK5S24247YG represents the active production equivalent within the manufacturer's current product portfolio.

Q: What are the key differences between the main part and the substitute? A: The primary differences are pitch specification (0.031" versus 0.020"), height above board (0.205" versus 0.140"), and mated stacking height ranges. The substitute part is RoHS compliant, whereas the main part does not specify RoHS status.

Q: Are the pitch differences significant for substitution? A: Pitch differences affect PCB footprint layout and mating connector compatibility. Applications must be evaluated to determine if the 0.020" pitch of the substitute part is compatible with existing mating connectors and PCB designs.

Q: Does the height difference affect board-level integration? A: The substitute part has a lower profile (0.140" versus 0.205" above board). Applications with height constraints may benefit from this reduction, but clearance requirements must be verified for each specific design.

Q: Is the substitute part RoHS compliant? A: Yes, the AXK5S24247YG is RoHS compliant. The main part does not specify RoHS status in the provided documentation.

Q: What packaging is available for the substitute part? A: The AXK5S24247YG is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging, suitable for automated assembly processes.

Q: Are both parts from the same manufacturer? A: Yes, both the AXN324C238P and AXK5S24247YG are manufactured by Panasonic Electric Works, ensuring consistent quality and design standards.
