Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the AXN420530S is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type: Must be Header with Outer Shroud Contacts
• Number of Positions: Must be 20
• Number of Rows: Must be 2
• Mounting Type: Must be Surface Mount
• Contact Finish: Must be Gold
• Mated Stacking Heights: Must support 5mm, 5.5mm, 8mm configurations

The substitute part AXK6S20537YG meets these core functional requirements. However, variations in pitch (0.020" vs. 0.031"), height above board (0.169" vs. 0.186"), and series designation (P5KS vs. P8) indicate design differences that must be evaluated within the context of specific application requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The AXK6S20537YG is available as an active product with RoHS compliance certification, whereas the AXN420530S is obsolete. Both parts maintain identical moisture sensitivity ratings and export control classifications. The substitute part demonstrates superior regulatory status through active production and RoHS compliance.

Physical differences exist between the parts: the AXK6S20537YG operates at a finer pitch (0.020" versus 0.031") and exhibits a reduced height above board (0.169" versus 0.186"). Both parts support identical mated stacking heights. These dimensional variations require evaluation against specific PCB layout and mechanical assembly constraints.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can AXK6S20537YG directly replace AXN420530S in existing designs?

A: Both parts share identical position count, row configuration, mounting type, contact finish, and stacking height capabilities. However, the pitch difference (0.020" versus 0.031") and height variation (0.169" versus 0.186") necessitate PCB layout and mechanical clearance verification before implementation.

Q: What is the significance of the pitch difference?

A: Pitch defines the center-to-center spacing between adjacent contacts. The AXK6S20537YG operates at a finer pitch, resulting in higher contact density. This requires PCB trace routing adjustments and may affect signal integrity characteristics depending on application frequency and impedance requirements.

Q: Are both parts suitable for the same environmental conditions?

A: Both parts carry identical Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited) ratings, indicating equivalent performance under moisture exposure conditions. Both comply with EAR99 export control classification.

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

A: The AXK6S20537YG is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, suitable for automated assembly processes.

Q: Does the substitute part offer improved regulatory compliance?

A: The AXK6S20537YG carries RoHS compliance certification and maintains active product status, whereas the AXN420530S is obsolete with unspecified RoHS status.
