AMC15MMSD Card Edge Connector Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The AMC15MMSD is a 30-position male card edge connector manufactured by Sullins Connector Solutions, designed to interface with female edgecards using a 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 AMC15MMSD is classified as obsolete. Locating equivalent or substitute components is necessary to support ongoing maintenance, repair, and new design requirements where this connector type is specified or functionally required.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the AMC15MMSD with the RMC15MMSD is based on alignment of the following critical parameters:

Matching Parameters:

• Number of positions: 30
• Positions per row: 15
• Number of rows: 2
• Pitch: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Gender: Male
• Card type: Fits female edgecards
• Read out configuration: Dual
• Termination method: Solder
• Contact finish: Gold
• Contact finish thickness: 30.0µin (0.76µm)
• Operating temperature range: -65°C ~ 200°C
• Insulation material: Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS)
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture sensitivity level: 1 (Unlimited)

Differing Parameters:

• Contact material: Beryllium copper (AMC15MMSD) versus phosphor bronze (RMC15MMSD)
• Card thickness specification: Not specified (AMC15MMSD) versus 0.062" (1.57mm) (RMC15MMSD)
• Flange feature opening: Side opening (AMC15MMSD) versus top opening (RMC15MMSD)
• Mounting type: Not specified (AMC15MMSD) versus through hole (RMC15MMSD)
• Color: Not specified (AMC15MMSD) versus black (RMC15MMSD)
• Product status: Obsolete (AMC15MMSD) versus active (RMC15MMSD)

The RMC15MMSD maintains functional compatibility through identical electrical and mechanical interface specifications while offering active product status and current manufacturing availability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The RMC15MMSD serves as a direct functional substitute for the AMC15MMSD based on electrical and mechanical interface compatibility. Both connectors maintain identical specifications for position count, pitch, gender, card type, read-out configuration, termination method, contact finish, operating temperature range, insulation material, and regulatory compliance status.

The RMC15MMSD is classified as an active product with current manufacturing support, whereas the AMC15MMSD is obsolete. For new designs and ongoing production requirements, the RMC15MMSD is the appropriate selection. Both components satisfy ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status requirements.

The RMC15MMSD provides specified card thickness accommodation (0.062" / 1.57mm) and through-hole mounting configuration, with top-opening flange design and phosphor bronze contact material. These specifications define the physical and electrical interface characteristics for applications requiring this connector type.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the RMC15MMSD directly replace the AMC15MMSD in existing applications?

A: The RMC15MMSD maintains identical electrical and mechanical interface specifications with the AMC15MMSD across all critical parameters including position count, pitch, gender, card type, read-out configuration, termination method, contact finish, operating temperature range, and insulation material. Physical form factor differences exist in flange opening design (top opening versus side opening) and mounting type specification. Mechanical fit and mounting compatibility must be verified against specific application requirements.

Q: What is the difference in contact material between these two connectors?

A: The AMC15MMSD uses beryllium copper contacts, while the RMC15MMSD uses phosphor bronze contacts. Both materials are plated with gold to 30.0µin (0.76µm) thickness. Both contact materials support the specified operating temperature range of -65°C to 200°C and maintain electrical performance across the connector's functional range.

Q: Are both connectors compliant with current regulatory requirements?

A: Both the AMC15MMSD and RMC15MMSD are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. Both connectors carry moisture sensitivity level 1 (unlimited), indicating no special moisture handling requirements during storage or assembly.

Q: What is the significance of the card thickness specification on the RMC15MMSD?

A: The RMC15MMSD specifies a card thickness of 0.062" (1.57mm). This parameter defines the physical dimension of the edgecard that the connector accommodates. The AMC15MMSD does not include a specified card thickness parameter in the provided data.

Q: Why is the RMC15MMSD listed as active while the AMC15MMSD is obsolete?

A: Product status reflects current manufacturing and distribution status. The AMC15MMSD is no longer in active production. The RMC15MMSD remains in active production with current inventory availability, making it the appropriate selection for applications requiring this connector type.
