AXN450C330P Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The AXN450C330P is a 50-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 functionally equivalent alternatives essential for ongoing production and maintenance applications. The part operates within unlimited moisture sensitivity parameters and is suitable for applications requiring board-guided header connectivity with 0.031" (0.80mm) pitch spacing.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the AXN450C330P is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type: Must be Header with Outer Shroud Contacts
• Number of Positions: Must be 50
• Number of Rows: Must be 2
• Mounting Type: Must be Surface Mount
• Contact Finish: Must be Gold
• Features: Must include Board Guide
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: Must be 1 (Unlimited) or equivalent

The substitute part AXK6S50437YG meets the core functional requirements of connector type, position count, row configuration, mounting method, contact finish, and board guide feature. However, this substitute introduces a pitch specification change from 0.031" (0.80mm) to 0.020" (0.50mm), which represents a dimensional modification that affects physical footprint and mating interface compatibility. The substitute also features different mated stacking heights and height above board specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The AXK6S50437YG serves as an active production alternative to the obsolete AXN450C330P. Both components share identical connector architecture, position count, row configuration, mounting methodology, and contact finish specifications. The substitute part carries RoHS compliance certification, providing regulatory advantage for applications subject to environmental standards.

Selection of the AXK6S50437YG requires evaluation of pitch compatibility with existing printed circuit board layouts. The pitch reduction from 0.031" (0.80mm) to 0.020" (0.50mm) necessitates PCB redesign and mating connector sourcing. The increased height above board (0.130" versus 0.107") and modified stacking heights must be assessed against available board space and enclosure clearance constraints.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can AXK6S50437YG be used as a direct drop-in replacement for AXN450C330P?

A: No. While both components share the same connector type, position count, and row configuration, the pitch specification differs significantly (0.031" versus 0.020"). This dimensional change requires PCB layout modification and sourcing of compatible mating connectors. Direct substitution without design revision is not feasible.

Q: What are the key compatibility factors between these parts?

A: Compatibility is determined by connector type (Header with Outer Shroud Contacts), position count (50), row count (2), mounting method (Surface Mount), contact finish (Gold), and board guide feature. Pitch, height above board, and stacking heights are secondary parameters that affect physical integration but not electrical function.

Q: Does the substitute part meet environmental compliance requirements?

A: The AXK6S50437YG is RoHS compliant, whereas RoHS status is not specified for the AXN450C330P. Both parts maintain MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating. Compliance verification should be performed against specific application requirements.

Q: What packaging formats are available for these parts?

A: The AXN450C330P packaging format is not specified in available data. The AXK6S50437YG is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, suitable for automated assembly processes.

Q: Are there inventory considerations for component selection?

A: The AXN450C330P is listed as obsolete with 3000 pieces in stock. The AXK6S50437YG is active production with 3080 pieces available in Tape & Reel packaging, providing long-term supply continuity for new designs.
