Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can AXT340124 be used as a direct replacement for AXT340164 without design changes?

A: Yes. The AXT340124 maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications, including connector type, position count, pitch, mounting type, contact finish, and board heights. No design modifications are necessary.

Q: What is the significance of the mated stacking heights difference (1.5mm vs. 1.5mm, 2mm)?

A: The AXT340124 supports both 1.5mm and 2mm stacking heights. The primary specification of 1.5mm matches the AXT340164 exactly, ensuring compatibility with existing mated connector designs. The additional 2mm option provides flexibility for alternative applications.

Q: Why is product status important for this substitution?

A: The AXT340164 is obsolete, meaning manufacturing has been discontinued and inventory is limited. The AXT340124 is active, ensuring reliable long-term availability for production and future orders.

Q: Does the RoHS compliance of AXT340124 affect compatibility?

A: No. RoHS compliance is an environmental and regulatory certification that does not alter electrical or mechanical function. It ensures the part meets current regulatory requirements for hazardous substance restrictions.

Q: Are there packaging considerations when switching to AXT340124?

A: The AXT340124 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging, which is standard for automated surface mount assembly. This packaging format is compatible with standard pick-and-place equipment and offers improved handling and storage compared to bulk packaging.

Q: What are the key parameters that define substitution eligibility for this connector?

A: Substitution is valid when the following parameters remain identical: connector type, position count (40), pitch (0.016"/0.40mm), row configuration (2), mounting type (surface mount), contact finish (gold), and board heights (0.057"/1.45mm above board). All these parameters match between AXT340164 and AXT340124.
