AMC09MWST Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The AMC09MWST 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 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.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the AMC09MWST is determined by alignment of the following critical parameters:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• Manufacturer: Sullins Connector Solutions (same manufacturer maintains 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) (contact spacing requirement)
• Gender: Male (connector orientation requirement)
• Read Out: Dual (signal access configuration)

Compliance Criteria:

• RoHS3 Compliant (regulatory requirement)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (handling and storage requirement)
• REACH Unaffected (regulatory requirement)

The substitute part RMC09MWST shares the base product number family (RMC09 vs. AMC09) and is manufactured by the same supplier, indicating design lineage and functional equivalence within the Sullins connector portfolio.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The RMC09MWST is the active equivalent substitute for the obsolete AMC09MWST. Both parts are manufactured by Sullins Connector Solutions and maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. The transition from AMC09 to RMC09 base product numbers reflects Sullins' product line evolution while preserving the 18-position, 2-row, 0.100" pitch card edge connector specification.

Selection of RMC09MWST for new designs and production applications ensures:

• Continued availability from an active product line
• Maintained regulatory compliance (ROHS3, REACH)
• Consistent moisture sensitivity handling (MSL 1)
• Compatibility with existing female edgecard interfaces designed for 0.100" pitch male connectors

The substitute part is suitable for direct replacement in applications where the AMC09MWST was previously specified, provided that the mechanical mounting configuration and electrical interface requirements remain unchanged.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RMC09MWST directly replace AMC09MWST in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts are 18-position, 2-row, 0.100" pitch male card edge connectors from Sullins Connector Solutions. The RMC09MWST represents the active product line continuation and maintains the same electrical and mechanical interface specifications.

Q: What is the primary reason for substitution?

A: The AMC09MWST is classified as obsolete. The RMC09MWST is the active equivalent from the same manufacturer, ensuring continued procurement availability and regulatory compliance.

Q: Are there compliance differences between the two parts?

A: No. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity classification. Regulatory and handling requirements remain identical.

Q: What parameters must remain consistent for substitution validity?

A: The following parameters define substitution compatibility: 18-position count, 2-row configuration, 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, male gender, dual read-out, and card edge connector category. These parameters ensure electrical and mechanical interface compatibility with existing female edgecard designs.

Q: Are there any packaging or mounting differences noted?

A: Packaging information is not provided in the technical specifications for either part. Consult the detailed datasheets or contact Sullins Connector Solutions directly for specific packaging and mounting configuration details.

Q: What is the inventory status for the substitute part?

A: RMC09MWST has 784 pieces of new original stock available, compared to 735 pieces for the obsolete AMC09MWST. The substitute part is actively stocked and available for procurement.
