Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the AXN420C430P is based on the following critical parameters that must align for functional compatibility:

• Connector Type: Header with outer shroud contacts (maintained across substitutes)
• Number of Positions: 20-position configuration (maintained)
• Number of Rows: 2-row arrangement (maintained)
• Mounting Type: Surface mount technology (maintained)
• Contact Finish: Gold plating (maintained)
• Mated Stacking Heights: Compatible range of 4mm, 4.5mm, 7mm (maintained)

The substitute part AXK6S20447YG meets these core functional requirements while offering active product status and improved availability. The primary difference lies in pitch specification (0.020" versus 0.031"), which represents a design variation within the same connector family rather than a functional incompatibility, provided PCB layout accommodates the finer pitch.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The AXK6S20447YG serves as the primary substitute for the obsolete AXN420C430P. Selection of this substitute is supported by the following factors:

• Product Status: The substitute maintains active product status with Panasonic Electric Works, ensuring continued availability and supply chain reliability.
• Regulatory Compliance: The substitute is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements.
• Functional Equivalence: Both parts maintain identical connector type, position count, row configuration, mounting method, contact finish, and stacking height compatibility.
• Packaging: The substitute is supplied in Tape & Reel format, suitable for automated assembly processes.

The pitch difference (0.031" to 0.020") requires PCB layout verification to confirm accommodation of the finer pitch spacing. This represents a design optimization rather than a functional limitation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can AXK6S20447YG be used as a direct replacement for AXN420C430P without PCB modification?

A: The substitute maintains identical connector type, position count, and row configuration. However, the pitch specification differs (0.031" versus 0.020"), requiring verification that the PCB layout accommodates the finer pitch contact spacing. Physical footprint and trace routing must be evaluated before implementation.

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

A: Pitch refers to the center-to-center distance between adjacent contacts. The AXN420C430P uses 0.031" (0.80mm) pitch, while the AXK6S20447YG uses 0.020" (0.50mm) pitch. This affects PCB pad spacing and trace routing. The substitute's finer pitch allows for more compact designs but requires compatible PCB layout.

Q: Are the mated stacking heights compatible between these parts?

A: Yes. Both parts support identical mated stacking heights of 4mm, 4.5mm, and 7mm, ensuring mechanical compatibility with mating connectors.

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

A: The AXK6S20447YG is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, optimized for automated surface mount assembly processes.

Q: Does the substitute meet current environmental compliance standards?

A: Yes. The AXK6S20447YG is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements applicable to electronic components.

Q: What is the inventory status of the substitute part?

A: The AXK6S20447YG has 10,482 pieces of new original stock available, providing adequate supply for production requirements.
