AMC10MMSD Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The AMC10MMSD is a 20-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 -65°C to 200°C. The AMC10MMSD is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of active equivalent components for ongoing applications and new designs requiring this connector type.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the obsolete AMC10MMSD with the active RMC10MMSD is based on electrical and mechanical compatibility across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility:

• Identical number of positions (20) and row configuration (2 rows × 10 positions)
• Matching pitch specification (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Dual read-out configuration maintained
• Gold contact finish with identical thickness (30.0µin / 0.76µm)
• Identical operating temperature range (-65°C ~ 200°C)
• Matching solder termination type

Mechanical Compatibility:

• Both connectors fit female edgecards
• Identical flange diameter (0.125" / 3.18mm)
• Flush mount configuration maintained
• Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS) insulation material in both parts

Compliance Alignment:

• Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance
• Both parts classified as REACH Unaffected
• Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited) in both parts

Noted Differences: The RMC10MMSD introduces a specified card thickness of 0.062" (1.57mm), includes Through Hole mounting type designation, features phosphor bronze contact material (versus beryllium copper), and includes black color specification. The flange opening orientation differs (Top Opening versus Side Opening). These differences do not preclude functional substitution within the specified electrical and mechanical parameters.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The RMC10MMSD serves as the direct functional equivalent for the obsolete AMC10MMSD. Selection of the RMC10MMSD is supported by the following engineering factors:

Product Status: The RMC10MMSD maintains active product status with current manufacturing and inventory availability (882 pcs in stock), whereas the AMC10MMSD is classified as obsolete. For applications requiring ongoing component supply or new designs, the RMC10MMSD provides continuity of the card edge connector function.

Regulatory Compliance: Both parts maintain identical ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status, ensuring compatibility with current environmental and regulatory requirements. Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited) classification in both parts indicates no special handling requirements during storage or assembly.

Electrical and Mechanical Specifications: The RMC10MMSD preserves all critical electrical parameters including 20-position configuration, 0.100" pitch, dual read-out, gold contact finish at 30.0µin thickness, and -65°C to 200°C operating range. Mechanical compatibility is maintained through identical flange specifications, flush mount configuration, and PPS insulation material.

Contact Material Difference: The RMC10MMSD employs phosphor bronze contacts in place of beryllium copper. Both materials provide suitable electrical conductivity and durability for card edge connector applications within the specified operating parameters.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the RMC10MMSD directly replace the AMC10MMSD in existing designs?

A: Yes. The RMC10MMSD maintains electrical and mechanical compatibility across all critical parameters: 20-position configuration, 0.100" pitch, dual read-out, gold contact finish, identical operating temperature range, and solder termination. Both connectors interface with female edgecards and maintain identical flange specifications.

Q: What is the significance of the card thickness specification (0.062") in the RMC10MMSD?

A: The RMC10MMSD specifies a card thickness of 0.062" (1.57mm), indicating the thickness of the female edgecard with which this connector is designed to interface. This parameter is provided for the substitute part but not specified for the main part. Both connectors are designed to fit female edgecards at the 0.100" pitch standard.

Q: Are there differences in the flange opening orientation between these parts?

A: Yes. The AMC10MMSD features Side Opening flange orientation, while the RMC10MMSD features Top Opening orientation. Both maintain Flush Mount configuration with identical 0.125" (3.18mm) diameter specifications. The opening orientation difference does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility for card edge connector applications.

Q: Do both parts require special handling during assembly or storage?

A: No. Both the AMC10MMSD and RMC10MMSD are classified as Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited), indicating no special moisture control or baking requirements during storage or assembly operations.

Q: What is the difference between beryllium copper and phosphor bronze contacts?

A: The AMC10MMSD uses beryllium copper contacts, while the RMC10MMSD uses phosphor bronze contacts. Both materials provide suitable electrical conductivity and mechanical durability for card edge connector applications. The contact finish (gold plating at 30.0µin thickness) is identical in both parts, providing equivalent surface contact characteristics.

Q: Are both parts compliant with current environmental regulations?

A: Yes. Both the AMC10MMSD and RMC10MMSD maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements for electronic components.

Q: What is the availability status of these parts?

A: The AMC10MMSD is classified as obsolete with 1118 pcs in stock. The RMC10MMSD is classified as active with 882 pcs in stock. For new designs or ongoing applications requiring component replenishment, the RMC10MMSD provides active product status and continued manufacturing support.
