AMC13MMSD Card Edge Connector Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The AMC13MMSD is a 26-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 AMC13MMSD is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of active equivalent parts to maintain design continuity and ensure ongoing component availability for production and field service applications.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the obsolete AMC13MMSD with the active RMC13MMSD is based on electrical and mechanical compatibility across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility:

• Identical 26-position configuration with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch
• Dual read-out functionality maintained
• Gold contact finish with equivalent 30.0µin (0.76µm) thickness
• Matching operating temperature range of -65°C to 200°C
• Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS) insulation material

Mechanical Compatibility:

• Male gender connector for female edgecard interface
• Two-row configuration with 13 positions per row
• Flush mount flange with 0.125" (3.18mm) diameter
• Solder termination method
• Through-hole mounting type

Compliance Equivalence:

• ROHS3 compliance maintained
• Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited) preserved
• REACH unaffected status consistent

Identified Differences:

• Contact material: Beryllium copper (AMC13MMSD) versus phosphor bronze (RMC13MMSD)
• Flange opening orientation: Side opening (AMC13MMSD) versus top opening (RMC13MMSD)
• Card thickness specification: Not specified (AMC13MMSD) versus 0.062" (1.57mm) (RMC13MMSD)
• Connector color: Not specified (AMC13MMSD) versus black (RMC13MMSD)

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The RMC13MMSD serves as the direct active equivalent for the obsolete AMC13MMSD. Selection of the RMC13MMSD is supported by the following engineering criteria:

Product Status and Availability: The AMC13MMSD is classified as obsolete, while the RMC13MMSD maintains active product status with confirmed inventory availability (942 pieces in stock). This transition ensures continued access to functionally equivalent components for new production and field service requirements.

Regulatory Compliance: Both connectors maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, satisfying current environmental and regulatory requirements. Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited) classification is preserved, eliminating special handling requirements during storage and assembly.

Electrical and Mechanical Equivalence: The RMC13MMSD maintains identical electrical specifications including 26-position configuration, 0.100" pitch, dual read-out, and gold contact finish at 30.0µin thickness. Operating temperature range (-65°C to 200°C) and insulation material (PPS) are unchanged, ensuring thermal and environmental performance parity.

Design Integration: The RMC13MMSD is specified for 0.062" (1.57mm) card thickness with through-hole mounting and top-opening flange orientation. These mechanical characteristics differ from the original AMC13MMSD specification but maintain compatibility with standard female edgecard interfaces at 0.100" pitch. Design verification for flange opening orientation and card thickness accommodation is required during integration.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the RMC13MMSD directly replace the AMC13MMSD in existing designs?

A: The RMC13MMSD provides electrical and functional equivalence for the obsolete AMC13MMSD across all critical parameters including position count, pitch, gender, read-out configuration, and operating temperature range. Mechanical integration requires verification of flange opening orientation (top opening versus side opening) and card thickness compatibility (0.062" specification for RMC13MMSD).

Q: What are the differences in contact material between these connectors?

A: The AMC13MMSD uses beryllium copper contacts, while the RMC13MMSD uses phosphor bronze contacts. Both materials are plated with gold at 30.0µin (0.76µm) thickness. The contact finish thickness and gold plating are identical, ensuring equivalent electrical performance and corrosion resistance.

Q: Are there any compliance or regulatory differences between the two parts?

A: Both connectors maintain ROHS3 compliance, REACH unaffected status, and Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited) classification. No compliance or regulatory differences exist between the AMC13MMSD and RMC13MMSD.

Q: What is the significance of the flange opening orientation difference?

A: The AMC13MMSD features side opening flange configuration, while the RMC13MMSD features top opening flange configuration. This difference affects the physical orientation and accessibility of the connector during assembly and service. Design verification is required to confirm compatibility with existing mechanical mounting and routing requirements.

Q: Does the RMC13MMSD require special handling or storage procedures?

A: No. The RMC13MMSD maintains Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited) classification, identical to the AMC13MMSD. Standard component storage and handling procedures apply without special moisture control requirements.

Q: What is the specified card thickness for the RMC13MMSD?

A: The RMC13MMSD is specified for 0.062" (1.57mm) card thickness. This specification should be verified against the female edgecard thickness in the target application to ensure proper mechanical fit and electrical contact.

Q: Are both connectors suitable for solder termination?

A: Yes. Both the AMC13MMSD and RMC13MMSD use solder termination. The RMC13MMSD additionally specifies through-hole mounting type, which is compatible with standard PCB assembly processes.
