Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The AXT320124 qualifies as a direct substitute for the AXT320164 based on identical electrical and mechanical parameters. Substitution is valid across the following critical criteria:

• Connector type and contact configuration (Socket, Outer Shroud Contacts)
• Position count and row configuration (20 positions, 2 rows)
• Contact pitch specification (0.016" / 0.40mm)
• Mounting technology (Surface Mount)
• Contact material and finish (Gold)
• Physical envelope dimensions (Mated stacking height 1.5mm, height above board 0.057" / 1.45mm)
• Solder retention feature presence
• Moisture sensitivity classification (MSL 1)

The primary distinction between these parts is product status and packaging format, not functional or dimensional characteristics.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The AXT320124 is the appropriate selection for new designs and production continuity. This part maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications to the AXT320164 while offering the following advantages:

• Active product status ensures long-term availability and supply chain stability
• RoHS compliance certification meets current environmental and regulatory standards
• Tape & Reel packaging format supports automated assembly processes
• Equivalent MSL rating (1) eliminates moisture sensitivity constraints
• Identical dimensional and contact specifications ensure direct form-fit-function compatibility

For applications currently using AXT320164, transition to AXT320124 requires no design modifications or PCB layout changes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can AXT320124 be used as a direct replacement for AXT320164 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical connector type, position count, pitch, mounting method, contact finish, and physical dimensions. No design or layout modifications are required.

Q: What is the difference between these two part numbers?

A: The primary differences are product status (AXT320164 is obsolete; AXT320124 is active), packaging format (bulk versus Tape & Reel), and RoHS compliance certification (AXT320124 is RoHS compliant). Functional and electrical characteristics are identical.

Q: Does the Tape & Reel packaging of AXT320124 affect compatibility?

A: No. Tape & Reel packaging is a supply and assembly format consideration only. The connector itself is functionally and dimensionally identical to the bulk-packaged AXT320164.

Q: Are there any MSL or moisture sensitivity differences?

A: No. Both parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) classification, indicating no moisture sensitivity constraints for either component.

Q: Is AXT320124 suitable for high-reliability applications?

A: Compatibility for high-reliability applications depends on application-specific requirements beyond the scope of these part specifications. Consult application engineering documentation and qualification requirements for your specific use case.
