AXN440C330P Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The AXN440C330P is a 40-position rectangular connector header manufactured by Panasonic Electric Works, designed for surface mount applications with outer shroud contacts and gold plating. This component is classified as obsolete, making identification of suitable substitute parts essential for ongoing design support and procurement planning. The connector operates with a 0.031" (0.80mm) pitch configuration across 2 rows and includes board guide features for mechanical stability.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the AXN440C330P is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type: Must be Header with Outer Shroud Contacts
• Number of Positions: Must be 40
• Number of Rows: Must be 2
• Mounting Type: Must be Surface Mount
• Contact Finish: Must be Gold
• Manufacturer: Panasonic Electric Works

The substitute part AXK6S40447YG meets the core functional requirements of connector type, position count, row configuration, mounting method, and contact finish. However, this substitute operates at a different pitch specification (0.020" vs. 0.031"), which represents a dimensional change that must be evaluated against specific application requirements. The substitute is classified as active product status with ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected designation.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The AXK6S40447YG serves as an active substitute for the obsolete AXN440C330P, offering continued product availability through Panasonic Electric Works. Both components share identical moisture sensitivity classification and maintain gold contact finish specifications. The substitute part carries ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, supporting regulatory requirements for current manufacturing environments.

The primary engineering consideration is the pitch differential: the substitute operates at 0.020" (0.50mm) versus the original 0.031" (0.80mm). This dimensional change affects PCB layout, mating connector spacing, and overall form factor. Height above board increases from 0.107" to 0.130", which may impact clearance in space-constrained applications. Selection of the substitute requires confirmation that the receiving system design accommodates the modified pitch and height specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can AXK6S40447YG directly replace AXN440C330P without PCB redesign?

A: Direct replacement without PCB modification is not possible due to pitch specification differences. The substitute operates at 0.020" (0.50mm) pitch compared to the original 0.031" (0.80mm), requiring PCB layout changes and mating connector compatibility verification.

Q: What is the significance of the product status change from Obsolete to Active?

A: The substitute part maintains active manufacturing status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity. The original part's obsolete classification necessitates transition to an alternative component for new production and ongoing support.

Q: Are both parts compatible with the same mating connectors?

A: No. The pitch difference means each part requires its corresponding mating connector. Mating connector specifications must be verified separately for each component based on the pitch requirement.

Q: Do both parts meet the same moisture sensitivity requirements?

A: Yes. Both components carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) classification, indicating identical moisture handling and storage requirements.

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

A: The AXK6S40447YG is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging, suitable for automated assembly processes.

Q: Are there compliance differences between the two parts?

A: The substitute part carries ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected designation. Both parts share the same ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS classification.
