AXW1264A Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The AXW1264A is a 26-position rectangular connector housing manufactured by Panasonic Industrial Automation Sales. This socket housing component is designed for 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch applications and operates within the -40°C to 105°C temperature range. The part is currently in active inventory with 738 pieces available as new original stock.

Identifying equivalent and substitute parts is necessary when the primary part becomes unavailable, when supply chain optimization is required, or when design flexibility allows for alternative qualified components that meet the same electrical and mechanical specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of rectangular connector housings is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Number of Positions: Must be exactly 26 positions
• Pitch Specification: Must be 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Number of Rows: Must be 2 rows
• Row Spacing: Must be 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Connector Type Compatibility: Socket housings are compatible with receptacle housings in mating applications
• Contact Configuration: Female socket contacts
• Mounting Type: Free hanging (in-line) configuration
• Contact Termination: Crimp termination method

The substitute part 0022552261 (Molex SL 70450 series) meets all critical dimensional and electrical parameters required for functional equivalence with the AXW1264A.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 0022552261 (Molex) connector housing qualifies as a functional equivalent to the AXW1264A based on matching critical dimensional specifications: 26 positions, 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, 2-row configuration, and identical row spacing. Both components support crimp termination and operate within the same temperature range.

The Molex part carries ROHS3 compliance certification and is documented as active product status with higher inventory availability (4102 pieces). The polyester glass-filled insulation material and black color specification of the Molex component provide additional material documentation compared to the Panasonic part.

Selection between these components should be based on design qualification requirements, existing connector ecosystem compatibility, and supply chain considerations rather than electrical or mechanical performance differences.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 0022552261 (Molex) directly replace the AXW1264A (Panasonic) in existing designs?

A: Yes, provided that the design does not include manufacturer-specific requirements. Both housings share identical position count (26), pitch (0.100" / 2.54mm), row configuration (2 rows), and row spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm). Mating compatibility depends on the pin headers or plug connectors already specified in the assembly.

Q: What is the significance of the socket versus receptacle designation?

A: The AXW1264A is designated as a socket housing, while the 0022552261 is designated as a receptacle housing. In connector terminology, these terms describe the housing type that accommodates the contact configuration. Both accept female socket contacts and are compatible with standard 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch pin headers in mating applications.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The AXW1264A packaging is not specified in available documentation. The 0022552261 is supplied in bulk packaging. Packaging format may affect procurement quantities and handling procedures but does not impact electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Q: Does the black color of the Molex part affect compatibility?

A: Color is a cosmetic specification and does not affect electrical or mechanical function. Selection based on color should be driven by design aesthetics or identification requirements rather than performance considerations.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to these parts?

A: The 0022552261 (Molex) is documented as ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. Compliance documentation for the AXW1264A is not provided in available specifications. Compliance requirements should be verified against your design and regulatory standards before final component selection.
