AXW1304A Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The AXW1304A is a 30-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 803 units 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

Substitute parts for the AXW1304A are identified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional and mechanical compatibility:

• Number of Positions: 30 positions (fixed requirement)
• Pitch Specification: 0.100" (2.54mm) center-to-center spacing
• Number of Rows: 2-row configuration
• Row Spacing: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Connector Type: Housing component (socket or receptacle)
• Contact Type: Female socket contacts
• Mounting Type: Free hanging (in-line) configuration
• Contact Termination: Crimp termination method

The substitute part 0022552301 (Molex SL 70450 series) meets these core parameters and is therefore classified as an equivalent housing component for the AXW1304A.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the AXW1304A and 0022552301 are active product status components suitable for new designs and ongoing production applications. The Molex 0022552301 carries ROHS3 compliance certification and is available in higher inventory quantities (5828 units). Selection between these parts should be based on design requirements, supply chain availability, and any specific compliance mandates applicable to the end application. The substitute part maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications for the 30-position, 2.54mm pitch configuration.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Molex 0022552301 directly replace the Panasonic AXW1304A?

A: Yes, the 0022552301 is a functional equivalent for the AXW1304A. Both components share identical position count (30), pitch (0.100" / 2.54mm), row configuration (2 rows), and contact termination method (crimp). Both operate across the same temperature range (-40°C to 105°C).

Q: What is the difference between a socket housing and a receptacle housing?

A: In rectangular connector terminology, both socket and receptacle housings accommodate female contacts. The designation reflects manufacturer nomenclature; functionally, both components serve the same purpose in the connector assembly.

Q: Are contacts included with these housings?

A: No. The Molex 0022552301 specification explicitly states that contacts are not included. Contacts must be sourced separately and crimped into the housing according to the connector assembly specifications.

Q: What packaging options are available?

A: The AXW1304A packaging is not specified in available data. The Molex 0022552301 is supplied in bulk packaging. Confirm packaging requirements with your procurement specifications.

Q: Does the substitute part meet RoHS requirements?

A: The Molex 0022552301 is ROHS3 compliant. RoHS status for the Panasonic AXW1304A is not specified in available documentation. Verify RoHS compliance requirements for your specific application.
