Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the AMC08MSST is determined by alignment of the following critical parameters:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• Card edge connector category classification
• 16-position configuration
• 2-row arrangement
• 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch spacing
• Male gender connector
• Dual read-out functionality
• Beryllium copper contact material with gold finish
• Operating temperature range compatibility (-65°C ~ 200°C)
• Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS) insulation material
• RoHS3 compliance
• MSL 1 rating

The RMC08MSST from Sullins Connector Solutions is identified as a direct substitute based on shared base product number (RMC08 vs. AMC08 series designation) and active product status, enabling continued component sourcing for applications currently utilizing the obsolete AMC08MSST.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The RMC08MSST is the appropriate substitute for the obsolete AMC08MSST based on the following engineering considerations:
