AXN360038P Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The AXN360038P is a 60-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 AXN360038P is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type: Socket configuration with center strip contacts
• Number of Positions: 60-position requirement
• Number of Rows: Dual-row (2-row) arrangement
• Mounting Type: Surface mount capability
• Contact Finish: Gold plating
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: MSL 1 or equivalent

The AXK5S60037YG qualifies as a substitute based on matching connector type, position count, row configuration, mounting method, and contact finish. However, this substitute introduces a critical parameter difference: the pitch specification changes from 0.031" (0.80mm) to 0.020" (0.50mm), and the height above board increases from 0.087" (2.20mm) to 0.120" (3.05mm). These dimensional changes require verification against specific application requirements before implementation.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The AXK5S60037YG represents an active product alternative to the obsolete AXN360038P, offering continued component availability through Panasonic Electric Works. The substitute maintains functional equivalence in connector type, position count, row configuration, and contact finish specifications. The substitute part carries RoHS compliance certification, providing regulatory advantage for applications subject to environmental standards.

Selection of the AXK5S60037YG requires accommodation of dimensional differences: the reduced pitch (0.020" versus 0.031") and increased height above board (0.120" versus 0.087") necessitate PCB layout and mechanical clearance verification. Mated stacking height ranges differ between parts (3mm, 4mm, 5mm for AXN360038P versus 4mm, 5mm, 6mm for AXK5S60037YG), requiring confirmation of mating connector compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can AXK5S60037YG directly replace AXN360038P without PCB modification?

A: Direct replacement requires verification of pitch tolerance and height clearance. The pitch change from 0.031" to 0.020" and height increase from 0.087" to 0.120" may necessitate PCB layout adjustments and mechanical redesign depending on application constraints.

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

A: Pitch defines the center-to-center spacing between connector positions. The 0.031" (0.80mm) pitch of AXN360038P differs from the 0.020" (0.50mm) pitch of AXK5S60037YG. This difference affects PCB footprint design and mating connector compatibility. Mating connectors must match the pitch specification of the selected socket.

Q: Does the RoHS compliance status of AXK5S60037YG affect compatibility?

A: RoHS compliance indicates restriction of hazardous substances in the component composition. This status does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility but may be required for applications subject to environmental regulations. The main part status is not specified for RoHS compliance.

Q: Are the mated stacking height ranges interchangeable?

A: Mated stacking heights define the distance between mating surfaces when connectors are engaged. AXN360038P supports 3mm, 4mm, and 5mm heights, while AXK5S60037YG supports 4mm, 5mm, and 6mm heights. Only the 4mm and 5mm ranges overlap. Mating connector specifications must align with the selected socket's stacking height capability.

Q: What packaging format is available for the substitute part?

A: AXK5S60037YG is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging format, suitable for automated assembly processes. The main part packaging format is not specified in available documentation.
