AXN330C038J Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The AXN330C038J is a 30-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, operating at unlimited moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1).

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the AXN330C038J is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type: Must be socket configuration with center strip contacts
• Number of Positions: Must maintain 30-position count
• Number of Rows: Must be dual-row (2-row) arrangement
• Mounting Type: Must be surface mount compatible
• Contact Finish: Must be gold-plated
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: Must be MSL 1 or equivalent

The AXK5S30047YG qualifies as a substitute based on matching connector type, position count, row configuration, mounting method, contact finish, and MSL rating. However, pitch specification differs between the main part (0.031"/0.80mm) and the substitute (0.020"/0.50mm), requiring design verification for mechanical and electrical compatibility in the target application.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The AXK5S30047YG is the identified substitute for the obsolete AXN330C038J. Both components are manufactured by Panasonic Electric Works and share identical connector type, position count, row configuration, mounting method, contact finish, and MSL rating.

The substitute part carries active product status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain reliability. The AXK5S30047YG is RoHS compliant, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements for electronic component manufacturing.

The primary design consideration is the pitch differential: the substitute operates at 0.020" (0.50mm) versus the original 0.031" (0.80mm). This reduced pitch results in a more compact connector footprint. Additionally, the substitute exhibits increased height above board (0.120" versus 0.087"), which may affect clearance in space-constrained applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the AXK5S30047YG directly replace the AXN330C038J without PCB redesign?

A: Direct replacement requires PCB layout verification. The pitch change from 0.031" to 0.020" necessitates modified contact pad spacing. The increased height above board (0.120" versus 0.087") must be evaluated against available clearance in the assembly.

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

A: Pitch defines the center-to-center spacing between adjacent contacts. The AXN330C038J uses 0.031" (0.80mm) pitch, while the AXK5S30047YG uses 0.020" (0.50mm) pitch. This difference requires corresponding changes to PCB contact pad layout and spacing.

Q: Are both connectors compatible with the same mating components?

A: No. The pitch difference means these connectors require different mating plugs or receptacles. Verify mating component availability for the substitute part before design implementation.

Q: What does MSL 1 rating indicate?

A: MSL 1 (Moisture Sensitivity Level 1) indicates unlimited shelf life without moisture control requirements. Both the main part and substitute carry this rating, eliminating moisture-related storage or handling constraints.

Q: Why is the AXN330C038J listed as obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates the manufacturer has discontinued production. The AXK5S30047YG, with active status, represents the current production alternative from Panasonic Electric Works.

Q: Does RoHS compliance of the substitute affect compatibility?

A: RoHS compliance of the AXK5S30047YG ensures conformance to current environmental regulations. This status does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility but may be required for applications subject to RoHS mandates.
