AXN360238S Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The AXN360238S 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 of the AXN360238S 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 mating compatibility
• Number of Rows: Dual-row (2-row) arrangement must be preserved
• Mounting Type: Surface mount technology requirement must be retained
• Contact Finish: Gold plating specification must be matched
• Pitch Configuration: Connector pitch determines physical spacing and mating interface compatibility

The substitute part AXK5S60247YG shares the core functional requirements of 60-position socket configuration with center strip contacts and surface mount capability. However, this substitute operates at a different pitch specification (0.020" vs. 0.031"), which represents a fundamental change in the connector's physical interface. This pitch difference means the substitute cannot directly mate with components designed for the original AXN360238S pitch specification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The AXK5S60247YG substitute part is classified as active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and manufacturing support compared to the obsolete AXN360238S. The substitute demonstrates RoHS compliance certification, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements for electronic component manufacturing.

Selection of AXK5S60247YG requires design-level evaluation due to pitch specification differences (0.031" to 0.020"). The reduced pitch and lower height above board (0.205" to 0.140") represent physical interface changes that necessitate PCB layout and mating connector compatibility assessment. The substitute's mated stacking height range (4.5mm to 6.5mm) differs from the original specification (4.6mm to 5.5mm), affecting overall assembly stack-up calculations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can AXK5S60247YG directly replace AXN360238S in existing designs?

A: Direct replacement is not possible without design modification. The pitch difference (0.031" vs. 0.020") means the connectors have different physical spacing and cannot mate with components designed for the original specification. PCB layout and mating connector changes are required.

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

A: The primary difference is pitch specification. AXN360238S operates at 0.031" (0.80mm) pitch, while AXK5S60247YG operates at 0.020" (0.50mm) pitch. This affects connector spacing, height above board, and overall assembly dimensions.

Q: Why is AXN360238S obsolete?

A: Product status is listed as obsolete, indicating the part is no longer in active production. The AXK5S60247YG represents Panasonic Electric Works' current active offering in the 60-position socket connector category.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: AXK5S60247YG is explicitly RoHS compliant. RoHS status for AXN360238S is not specified in available documentation.

Q: What packaging is available for the substitute part?

A: AXK5S60247YG is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging format.

Q: Do both connectors have the same moisture sensitivity level?

A: Yes, both parts are rated MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage and handling.
