AMC08MMST Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The AMC08MMST is a 16-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, gold-plated beryllium copper contacts, and operates across -65°C to 200°C. The part is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of active equivalent alternatives that maintain functional compatibility while ensuring continued supply availability and compliance with current standards.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the obsolete AMC08MMST is based on strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Connector type: Male card edge connector
• Number of positions: 16
• Pitch: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Number of rows: 2
• Read out configuration: Dual
• Termination: Solder
• Contact finish: Gold at 30.0µin (0.76µm)
• Operating temperature range: -65°C ~ 200°C
• Insulation material: Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS)
• Flange feature: Flush Mount, Top Opening, Threaded Insert, 4-40
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture sensitivity level: 1 (Unlimited)

The RMC08MMST qualifies as a direct substitute based on complete alignment with all mandatory parameters. Differences in contact material (phosphor bronze versus beryllium copper), card thickness specification, color designation, and mounting type classification do not affect functional compatibility within the specified electrical and mechanical constraints.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The RMC08MMST is the direct equivalent for the obsolete AMC08MMST. Selection of the RMC08MMST is based on the following engineering criteria:

Product Status: The RMC08MMST maintains active product status with current manufacturing support, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity. The AMC08MMST is classified as obsolete, creating supply risk for new designs and production requirements.

Compliance Certification: Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, satisfying regulatory requirements for electronic component procurement. The RMC08MMST carries ECCN classification EAR99 and HTSUS code 8536.69.4040, enabling standard commercial distribution.

Electrical and Mechanical Compatibility: The RMC08MMST maintains complete functional equivalence across all critical parameters including connector geometry, contact configuration, pitch spacing, termination method, and operating temperature range. The connector interfaces identically with female edgecards and performs equivalent electrical functions.

Inventory Availability: The RMC08MMST is currently in stock with 955 pieces available, compared to the obsolete AMC08MMST with 973 pieces remaining in inventory.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the RMC08MMST directly replace the AMC08MMST in existing designs?

A: Yes. The RMC08MMST is a direct functional equivalent. Both connectors share identical pitch (0.100"), position count (16), row configuration (2), read-out type (dual), termination method (solder), contact finish (gold at 30.0µin), operating temperature range (-65°C to 200°C), and insulation material (PPS). The connectors interface identically with female edgecards.

Q: What are the differences between the AMC08MMST and RMC08MMST?

A: The primary differences are product status (obsolete versus active), contact material (beryllium copper versus phosphor bronze), card thickness specification (unspecified versus 0.062"), color designation (unspecified versus black), and mounting type classification (unspecified versus through hole). These differences do not affect functional compatibility within the specified electrical and mechanical parameters.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the AMC08MMST and RMC08MMST are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, satisfying current regulatory requirements for electronic component procurement.

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

A: Both connectors carry Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage, handling, or use.

Q: Is the RMC08MMST suitable for the same operating temperature range?

A: Yes. The RMC08MMST operates across -65°C to 200°C, identical to the AMC08MMST, supporting equivalent thermal performance across all application environments.

Q: What is the pitch specification for these card edge connectors?

A: Both connectors operate at 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, the standard spacing for this connector family. This pitch determines compatibility with female edgecard receptacles.

Q: How many contact positions does the RMC08MMST provide?

A: The RMC08MMST provides 16 contact positions arranged in 2 rows with dual read-out configuration, identical to the AMC08MMST.
