Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the AXT490164 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Configuration: Header with center strip contacts
• Position Count & Pitch: 90 positions at 0.016" (0.40mm) pitch
• Row Configuration: 2-row arrangement
• Mounting Technology: Surface mount with solder retention
• Contact Material & Finish: Gold-plated contacts
• Physical Dimensions: Mated stacking heights of 1.5mm and 2.5mm; height above board of 0.049" (1.25mm)
• Series Designation: P4S series

The AXT490124 meets all these criteria as a direct functional equivalent within the same P4S series, differing only in product status (active versus obsolete) and packaging configuration.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The AXT490124 is the direct active equivalent for the obsolete AXT490164. Both components share identical electrical and mechanical specifications within the P4S series. The primary distinction is product lifecycle status: AXT490164 is obsolete, while AXT490124 remains in active production with confirmed inventory availability (20,300 units).

The AXT490124 carries RoHS compliance certification, providing regulatory advantage for applications subject to environmental standards. Both parts maintain identical MSL ratings and are classified under the same ECCN and HTSUS codes, confirming functional and regulatory equivalence.

For new designs or production continuity, the AXT490124 is the appropriate selection. The packaging difference (Tape & Reel versus bulk) reflects standard industry practice for active production components and does not affect electrical or mechanical performance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can AXT490124 be used as a direct replacement for AXT490164 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The AXT490124 is electrically and mechanically identical to the AXT490164. All critical parameters—position count, pitch, row configuration, mounting type, contact finish, and physical dimensions—are equivalent. The substitution is direct with no design modifications required.

Q: What is the significance of the product status difference (Obsolete vs. Active)?

A: Product status indicates lifecycle phase. The AXT490164 is obsolete and no longer manufactured or supported. The AXT490124 is actively produced, ensuring supply chain continuity and technical support availability. For ongoing production or new applications, the active part is the appropriate choice.

Q: Does the packaging difference (Tape & Reel vs. Bulk) affect compatibility?

A: No. Packaging format affects handling and assembly logistics but does not alter electrical or mechanical performance. Both packaging types contain identical components. Selection depends on manufacturing process requirements and volume considerations.

Q: Are there compliance differences between these parts?

A: The AXT490124 is certified RoHS Compliant. Both parts share identical MSL ratings, ECCN classifications, and HTSUS codes. The RoHS certification on the active part provides regulatory advantage for applications subject to environmental compliance requirements.

Q: What inventory status should be considered for procurement?

A: The AXT490164 shows 849 units in stock but is obsolete with no future production. The AXT490124 has 20,300 units available and is actively manufactured, providing reliable long-term supply availability.
