AXN480C430S Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The AXN480C430S is an 80-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 part operates within the P8 series and provides dual-row configuration with 0.031" (0.80mm) pitch spacing.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the AXN480C430S is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Number of Positions: Must remain 80 to maintain electrical connectivity requirements
• Number of Rows: Must remain 2 for mechanical and electrical compatibility
• Mounting Type: Must be Surface Mount to align with PCB assembly processes
• Connector Type: Must be Header with Outer Shroud Contacts for mechanical fit
• Contact Finish: Must be Gold for electrical performance and corrosion resistance
• Mated Stacking Heights: Must support 4mm, 4.5mm, or 7mm configurations

The AXK6S80447YG qualifies as a substitute based on these parameters. While the pitch differs (0.020" versus 0.031"), this represents a design evolution within the Panasonic connector portfolio where the substitute maintains all critical functional parameters while offering improved density and active product status.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The AXK6S80447YG serves as the active substitute for the obsolete AXN480C430S. Selection of this substitute is supported by:

• Product Status: The substitute maintains active manufacturing status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity
• Regulatory Compliance: The substitute is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements
• Functional Equivalence: Both parts maintain 80-position, dual-row configuration with gold-plated outer shroud contacts and identical mated stacking height support
• Mechanical Compatibility: Height above board differs by 0.016" (0.40mm), which falls within typical PCB design tolerances for connector applications

The primary design difference is the pitch reduction from 0.031" to 0.020", which represents increased contact density. This change requires PCB layout modification but does not affect the fundamental connector function or electrical performance characteristics.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the AXK6S80447YG directly replace the AXN480C430S without PCB modification?

A: No. The pitch change from 0.031" to 0.020" requires PCB footprint redesign. The connector positions and spacing on the printed circuit board must be updated to accommodate the tighter pitch of the substitute part.

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

A: Yes. Both parts support 4mm, 4.5mm, and 7mm mated stacking heights, ensuring compatibility with mating connectors designed for either part.

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

A: The AXK6S80447YG is 0.016" (0.40mm) lower than the AXN480C430S. This minor difference typically does not affect assembly or performance but should be verified against specific board clearance requirements in your application.

Q: Does the substitute part meet current environmental standards?

A: Yes. The AXK6S80447YG is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements for electronic components.

Q: What packaging is available for the substitute part?

A: The AXK6S80447YG is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging, suitable for automated assembly processes.

Q: Are both parts manufactured by the same company?

A: Yes. Both the AXN480C430S and AXK6S80447YG are manufactured by Panasonic Electric Works, ensuring consistent quality standards and design philosophy.
