Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the AXN360238J is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type: Socket configuration with center strip contacts must be maintained
• Number of Positions: 60-position requirement is non-negotiable for pin count compatibility
• Number of Rows: 2-row configuration must be preserved
• Mounting Type: Surface mount technology requirement
• Contact Finish: Gold plating for corrosion resistance and electrical performance
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: MSL 1 classification ensures compatibility with standard storage and handling

The substitute part AXK5S60247YG maintains these core functional parameters while introducing design improvements in pitch specification and height profile. Both parts are manufactured by Panasonic Electric Works and share the same connector type, position count, row configuration, and mounting methodology.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The AXK5S60247YG serves as the active substitute for the obsolete AXN360238J. Selection of this substitute is supported by the following factors:

• Product Status: AXK5S60247YG maintains active production status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity
• Compliance: AXK5S60247YG is RoHS compliant, 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 share MSL 1 classification, ensuring equivalent handling and storage requirements
• Physical Integration: The reduced pitch (0.020" versus 0.031") and lower height profile (0.140" versus 0.205") of the substitute may require PCB layout verification to confirm mechanical compatibility with existing designs

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can AXK5S60247YG be used as a direct replacement for AXN360238J?

A: AXK5S60247YG is functionally equivalent in connector type, position count, row configuration, and contact finish. However, the reduced pitch specification (0.020" versus 0.031") and lower height above board (0.140" versus 0.205") require PCB layout verification to confirm mechanical fit within the existing assembly.

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

A: The primary differences are pitch density and height profile. AXK5S60247YG operates at a finer pitch (0.020" versus 0.031"), resulting in a more compact footprint and reduced height above board. Both parts maintain identical electrical and functional specifications for 60-position socket configuration.

Q: Does the substitute part meet current compliance standards?

A: Yes. AXK5S60247YG is RoHS compliant and maintains MSL 1 moisture sensitivity classification, meeting current environmental and handling requirements. The original AXN360238J compliance status is not specified in available documentation.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: Yes. AXN360238J packaging is not specified. AXK5S60247YG is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, which is standard for high-volume surface mount production.

Q: What is the availability status of each part?

A: AXN360238J is classified as obsolete with 887 pieces in current inventory. AXK5S60247YG is active production with 3984 pieces in current inventory, providing superior long-term supply assurance.
