AMC05MWST Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The AMC05MWST is a 10-position male card edge connector manufactured by Sullins Connector Solutions, designed to interface with female edgecards at 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch. This connector features a dual read-out configuration with a flush mount, top opening design and threaded insert (4-40). The part operates across a temperature range of -65°C to 200°C and utilizes beryllium copper contacts with gold plating.

The AMC05MWST is classified as obsolete. Locating equivalent or substitute components is necessary to support ongoing maintenance, repair, and legacy system requirements where this connector type remains in use.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the AMC05MWST are identified based on alignment with the following critical parameters:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• Manufacturer: Sullins Connector Solutions (same manufacturer ensures design compatibility)
• Category: Card Edge Connectors (functional category match)
• Base Product Number: AMC05 or RMC05 series (product line compatibility)
• Pitch: 0.100" (2.54mm) (electrical interface requirement)
• Number of Positions: 10 (contact count requirement)
• Number of Rows: 2 (physical configuration requirement)
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant (regulatory compliance match)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) (handling and storage compatibility)

The RMC05MWST is identified as a direct substitute within the Sullins connector portfolio. Both parts share the same base product number series (05) and are manufactured by the same supplier, ensuring mechanical and electrical compatibility within the card edge connector category.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

AMC05MWST Status: Obsolete with 1059 units in current inventory.

RMC05MWST Status: Active product with 973 units in current inventory.

For applications requiring the AMC05MWST, the RMC05MWST is available as an active substitute from the same manufacturer. The RMC05MWST maintains ROHS3 compliance and identical moisture sensitivity classification, ensuring regulatory and environmental handling consistency. The transition from obsolete to active product status provides improved long-term availability and supply chain stability.

Both parts carry REACH Unaffected status, confirming compliance with chemical substance regulations. The RMC05MWST's EAR99 export classification (versus the obsolete designation of the main part) reflects its active commercial status.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What is the primary difference between the AMC05MWST and RMC05MWST?

A: The AMC05MWST is classified as obsolete, while the RMC05MWST is an active product from the same manufacturer. Both are 10-position, 2-row card edge connectors within the Sullins 05 series, designed for 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch applications.

Q: Are the AMC05MWST and RMC05MWST mechanically compatible?

A: Both connectors are manufactured by Sullins Connector Solutions and share the same base product number series (05). They are designed for card edge connector applications with matching pitch and position configurations, supporting mechanical compatibility within the product line.

Q: Do both parts meet the same regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. Both the AMC05MWST and RMC05MWST are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, ensuring equivalent regulatory compliance for environmental and chemical substance standards.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for these connectors?

A: Both parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions during storage and handling.

Q: Why should I consider the RMC05MWST over the AMC05MWST?

A: The RMC05MWST is an active product with ongoing manufacturer support and supply availability, whereas the AMC05MWST is obsolete. For new designs or long-term applications, the active RMC05MWST provides superior supply chain continuity.

Q: Are there any packaging differences between these parts?

A: Packaging information is not specified in the available technical data for either part. Contact the manufacturer or authorized distributor for specific packaging details.

Q: What contact materials are used in these connectors?

A: The AMC05MWST utilizes beryllium copper contacts with gold plating at 30.0µin (0.76µm) thickness. Detailed contact material specifications for the RMC05MWST are not provided in the available data.
