AXN460C530P Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The AXN460C530P is a 60-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 production and maintenance applications. The connector features a 0.031" (0.80mm) pitch configuration across 2 rows, with a height above board of 0.186" (4.72mm) and support for multiple mated stacking heights.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the AXN460C530P is determined by the following critical parameters: connector type (header with outer shroud contacts), number of positions (60), number of rows (2), mounting type (surface mount), contact finish (gold), and mated stacking heights (5mm, 5.5mm, 8mm). These parameters define the physical and electrical interface requirements for direct replacement.

The identified substitute part AXK6S60547YG maintains compatibility across these core parameters. However, the substitute operates at a different pitch specification (0.020" / 0.50mm versus 0.031" / 0.80mm), which represents a significant geometric difference. This pitch variation affects PCB layout, contact spacing, and mechanical fit. The substitute also exhibits a reduced height above board (0.169" / 4.30mm versus 0.186" / 4.72mm).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The AXK6S60547YG is the identified substitute for the obsolete AXN460C530P. Both components are manufactured by Panasonic Electric Works and share identical position count, row configuration, mounting type, contact finish, and mated stacking height specifications. The substitute maintains MSL 1 classification and is currently in active production status with ROHS3 compliance certification.

The primary design consideration is the pitch differential: the substitute operates at 0.020" (0.50mm) pitch compared to the original 0.031" (0.80mm) pitch. This change requires PCB layout modification and is not a direct drop-in replacement. The height above board reduction of 0.017" (0.42mm) must also be evaluated against clearance requirements in the target application.

Selection of the AXK6S60547YG is appropriate for new designs or redesigns where PCB layout can be modified to accommodate the finer pitch specification. The active product status and ROHS3 compliance provide assurance of continued availability and regulatory alignment.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the AXK6S60547YG be used as a direct replacement without PCB modification?

A: No. The pitch difference (0.020" versus 0.031") requires PCB layout changes. The connector footprint, trace routing, and via placement must be redesigned to accommodate the finer pitch specification.

Q: What is the significance of the height above board difference?

A: The AXK6S60547YG is 0.017" (0.42mm) lower than the original part. This affects clearance to adjacent components and must be evaluated against the specific application's spatial constraints.

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

A: No. The different pitch specifications require different mating connector designs. Mating connectors must be selected to match the specific pitch of the header being used.

Q: What is the packaging difference between these parts?

A: The AXN460C530P packaging is not specified in the available data. The AXK6S60547YG is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, which is standard for surface mount production environments.

Q: Does the ROHS3 compliance of the substitute affect compatibility?

A: ROHS3 compliance indicates the substitute meets current environmental and regulatory standards. This is advantageous for new designs and applications subject to regulatory requirements. The original part's RoHS status is not specified.

Q: Are there any electrical performance differences between these connectors?

A: Both parts feature gold contact finish and identical position/row configurations. Electrical performance characteristics specific to contact resistance, current rating, or signal integrity are not provided in the available technical data.
