AMC06MSST Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The AMC06MSST is a 12-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 dual read-out configuration with beryllium copper contacts finished in gold and is rated for operating temperatures from -65°C to 200°C. The product is currently obsolete, necessitating identification of active equivalent alternatives to maintain design continuity and ensure component availability for new production and field service applications.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the AMC06MSST is determined by alignment of the following critical parameters:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• Manufacturer: Sullins Connector Solutions (same manufacturer ensures design compatibility)
• Category: Card Edge Connectors (functional classification)
• Number of Positions: 12 (electrical interface requirement)
• Number of Rows: 2 (physical configuration requirement)
• Pitch: 0.100" (2.54mm) (mechanical interface standard)
• Gender: Male (connector orientation)
• Contact Material: Beryllium Copper (electrical performance and durability)
• Contact Finish: Gold (corrosion resistance and conductivity)
• Operating Temperature Range: -65°C ~ 200°C (environmental specification)
• Material - Insulation: Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS) (thermal and chemical resistance)
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant (regulatory compliance)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) (handling and storage requirements)

The RMC06MSST is identified as a direct substitute based on shared manufacturer origin and base product number (RMC06 vs. AMC06), indicating common design lineage within the Sullins product family. The substitute part maintains active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and manufacturing support.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The RMC06MSST is the identified substitute for the obsolete AMC06MSST. Selection of this alternative is supported by the following engineering factors:

Product Status: The RMC06MSST maintains active product status with Sullins Connector Solutions, ensuring continued manufacturing availability, technical support, and supply chain reliability. The AMC06MSST obsolete status creates risk for future procurement and field service requirements.

Regulatory Compliance: Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, satisfying current environmental and regulatory requirements for electronic component procurement.

Manufacturer Continuity: Both connectors originate from Sullins Connector Solutions, with related base product numbers (AMC06 and RMC06), indicating design lineage and manufacturing expertise within the same product family.

Moisture Sensitivity: Both parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) classification, indicating identical handling, storage, and packaging requirements with no moisture sensitivity constraints.

Component selection should be based on documented electrical and mechanical interface requirements of the target application. The substitute part designation reflects manufacturer relationship and product family alignment rather than exhaustive parameter matching, as complete technical specifications for the RMC06MSST are not provided in this reference.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Why is the AMC06MSST listed as obsolete?

A: The AMC06MSST has reached end-of-life status with Sullins Connector Solutions. Obsolete designation indicates the manufacturer no longer produces this part, making it unavailable for new orders and creating supply constraints for ongoing applications.

Q: What makes the RMC06MSST a suitable substitute?

A: The RMC06MSST is manufactured by the same company (Sullins Connector Solutions) and shares the same base product family designation (RMC06 vs. AMC06). Both are 2-row card edge connectors with 12-position configuration at 0.100" pitch. The substitute maintains active production status and identical regulatory compliance certifications.

Q: Are there differences in the connector specifications between AMC06MSST and RMC06MSST?

A: The RMC06MSST is described as a through-hole connector, while the AMC06MSST features a flush mount configuration with threaded insert and 4-40 flange. This represents a mechanical mounting difference that must be evaluated against specific application requirements. Complete technical specifications for the RMC06MSST are not provided in this reference.

Q: Do both connectors meet the same regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. Both the AMC06MSST and RMC06MSST are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, satisfying current environmental and regulatory standards for electronic component procurement.

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

A: Both connectors carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) classification, indicating no moisture sensitivity constraints. These parts do not require special moisture control during storage, handling, or shipping.

Q: Can I use the RMC06MSST as a direct replacement in existing designs?

A: Substitution feasibility depends on the specific mechanical mounting requirements of your application. The AMC06MSST features flush mount with threaded insert configuration, while the RMC06MSST is specified as through-hole. Verify that the mounting style of the substitute aligns with your PCB design and mechanical assembly requirements.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for these connectors?

A: The AMC06MSST is rated for -65°C to 200°C. Complete operating temperature specifications for the RMC06MSST are not provided in this reference.

Q: Are there inventory considerations for these parts?

A: The AMC06MSST has 1026 pieces in stock as new original inventory. The RMC06MSST has 697 pieces available. Inventory levels are subject to change and should be confirmed directly with the supplier for current availability.
