AMC09MSST Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The AMC09MSST is an 18-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 gold-plated beryllium copper contacts and operates across a temperature range of -65°C to 200°C. The part is classified as 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 AMC09MSST 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: 18 (electrical interface requirement)
• Number of Rows: 2 (physical configuration requirement)
• Pitch: 0.100" (2.54mm) (mechanical interface requirement)
• Gender: Male (connector orientation requirement)

Secondary Compliance Criteria:

• RoHS3 Compliance (regulatory requirement)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (handling and storage compatibility)
• REACH Unaffected Status (regulatory requirement)

The RMC09MSST qualifies as a direct substitute based on shared manufacturer, identical position count (18), dual-row configuration, and 0.100" pitch specification. Both parts maintain equivalent regulatory compliance status and moisture sensitivity classification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The RMC09MSST is the appropriate substitute for the obsolete AMC09MSST. Both connectors are manufactured by Sullins Connector Solutions and share identical electrical and mechanical specifications for the 18-position, dual-row, 0.100" pitch card edge interface. The RMC09MSST maintains active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain continuity.

Both parts satisfy ROHS3 compliance requirements and carry identical Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 classification, confirming compatibility in handling, storage, and deployment environments. REACH Unaffected status is maintained across both parts, confirming regulatory alignment for applications subject to REACH requirements.

The transition from AMC09MSST to RMC09MSST does not introduce compliance or environmental restrictions and supports long-term component sourcing for production and field service applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What is the primary reason for substituting the AMC09MSST?

A: The AMC09MSST is classified as obsolete. The RMC09MSST is the active equivalent from the same manufacturer, ensuring continued availability and supply chain support.

Q: Are the AMC09MSST and RMC09MSST mechanically compatible?

A: Both connectors are 18-position, dual-row card edge connectors with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch manufactured by Sullins Connector Solutions. They share identical mechanical interface specifications for card edge applications.

Q: Do both parts meet the same regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. Both the AMC09MSST and RMC09MSST are ROHS3 compliant, carry REACH Unaffected status, and maintain Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 classification.
