MX23A34NF2 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MX23A34NF2 is a rectangular connector header manufactured by JAE Electronics, designed for through-hole, right-angle board-to-cable/wire applications. This 34-position connector operates across automotive and industrial environments with a 2.5mm pitch and waterproof shrouded design. The part is currently active in production with full inventory availability. Substitute parts are identified to support procurement flexibility, design continuity, and supply chain optimization when the primary part number becomes unavailable or when alternative packaging or compliance certifications are required.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the MX23A34NF2 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type, contact type, and mating interface (Header, Male Pin, 34-position)
• Pitch and row spacing (0.098" mating pitch, 0.173" row spacing)
• Mounting configuration (Through Hole, Right Angle)
• Electrical performance (3A current rating, -40°C ~ 125°C operating range)
• Physical form factor (Shrouded 4-wall design, waterproof ingress protection)
• Material composition (Brass contacts with tin finish, PBT glass-filled insulation)
• Compliance certifications (RoHS status, MSL rating)

The MX23A34NF1 qualifies as a direct substitute based on identical electrical, mechanical, and environmental specifications. Differences in packaging format and RoHS certification revision do not affect functional interchangeability in the application circuit.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both MX23A34NF2 and MX23A34NF1 are active production parts from JAE Electronics with identical functional specifications. Selection between these parts is based on compliance and procurement requirements:

• MX23A34NF2 carries RoHS Compliant certification and is packaged in trays with 890 units in current stock.
• MX23A34NF1 carries ROHS3 Compliant certification with higher inventory availability (2360 units in tray packaging).

Both parts meet automotive application requirements, operate across the full -40°C to 125°C temperature range, and maintain waterproof ingress protection. The choice between these substitutes depends on specific regulatory compliance mandates and supply chain availability at the time of procurement. No functional performance difference exists between the two part numbers.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MX23A34NF1 be used as a direct replacement for MX23A34NF2 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. They share the same 34-position, 2-row configuration with 2.5mm pitch, through-hole right-angle mounting, and 3A current rating. The difference in RoHS certification revision does not affect functional interchangeability.

Q: What is the difference between RoHS Compliant and ROHS3 Compliant?

A: ROHS3 represents a more recent revision of the RoHS directive with updated substance restrictions. Both certifications indicate compliance with hazardous substance limitations. The specific revision applicable to your application should be confirmed with your compliance or procurement department.

Q: Are the packaging formats interchangeable?

A: Both parts are supplied in tray packaging. Tray packaging is standard for automated assembly processes and does not affect the connector's electrical or mechanical performance. Verify tray quantity and handling requirements with your assembly partner if transitioning between part numbers.

Q: What parameters must remain identical for substitution?

A: The following parameters must match exactly: connector type (Header), contact type (Male Pin), number of positions (34), pitch (2.5mm), row spacing (4.4mm), mounting style (Through Hole, Right Angle), current rating (3A), operating temperature range (-40°C to 125°C), and shrouding design (Shrouded 4-wall). Any deviation in these parameters disqualifies a part as a direct substitute.

Q: Is inventory availability a factor in part selection?

A: Inventory levels are provided for reference but do not determine substitution eligibility. MX23A34NF1 currently has higher stock availability (2360 units) compared to MX23A34NF2 (890 units). Confirm current inventory status with your supplier before finalizing procurement decisions.
