AMC08MWST Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The AMC08MWST 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 with beryllium copper contacts finished in gold plating. The part is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of active equivalent alternatives to maintain design continuity and ensure procurement availability for new production and field service applications.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the AMC08MWST 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 category match)
• Number of Positions: 16 (electrical interface requirement)
• Number of Rows: 2 (physical configuration requirement)
• Pitch: 0.100" (2.54mm) (mechanical interface standard)
• Gender: Male (connector orientation requirement)
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant (regulatory compliance requirement)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) (environmental handling requirement)

The substitute part RMC08MWST shares the same base product number family (RMC08 vs. AMC08) and is manufactured by the same supplier, indicating design lineage and functional equivalence within the Sullins card edge connector portfolio. The transition from AMC08MWST (obsolete) to RMC08MWST (active) represents a product line update while maintaining core electrical and mechanical specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The RMC08MWST is the active equivalent for the obsolete AMC08MWST. Both parts are manufactured by Sullins Connector Solutions and maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, satisfying current regulatory requirements for new designs and production applications.

Selection of RMC08MWST over AMC08MWST is appropriate for:

• New product designs requiring active component availability
• Production continuity where AMC08MWST inventory is depleted
• Field service applications requiring long-term component sourcing
• Compliance-driven applications requiring active product status

The active product status of RMC08MWST ensures ongoing manufacturer support, documentation availability, and supply chain reliability compared to the obsolete AMC08MWST.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What is the primary difference between AMC08MWST and RMC08MWST?

A: The AMC08MWST is classified as obsolete, while the RMC08MWST is an active product from the same manufacturer. Both are 16-position, 2-row male card edge connectors with 0.100" pitch manufactured by Sullins Connector Solutions.

Q: Are these connectors mechanically interchangeable?

A: Both connectors share the same base product number family (AMC08 and RMC08) and are designed for the same card edge interface application with identical pitch and position configuration.

Q: Do both parts meet current regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. Both AMC08MWST and RMC08MWST are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current regulatory standards for electronic component manufacturing and use.

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

A: Both parts carry Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited), indicating no special moisture control requirements during storage, handling, or assembly.

Q: Why should I transition from AMC08MWST to RMC08MWST?

A: The AMC08MWST is obsolete and subject to inventory depletion. The RMC08MWST is an active product with ongoing manufacturer support, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity for production and field service applications.

Q: Are there any electrical performance differences between these parts?

A: Both connectors are specified for the same functional application as 16-position male card edge connectors with 0.100" pitch. Electrical performance parameters are aligned within the Sullins connector product family.
