AMC15MSST Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The AMC15MSST is a 30-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 AMC15MSST is based on alignment of the following critical parameters established for card edge connector compatibility:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• Manufacturer: Sullins Connector Solutions (same manufacturer ensures design compatibility)
• Category: Card Edge Connectors (functional category match)
• Number of Positions: 30 (electrical interface requirement)
• Number of Rows: 2 (physical configuration requirement)
• Pitch: 0.100" (2.54mm) (mechanical spacing requirement)
• Gender: Male (connector orientation requirement)
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant (regulatory compliance requirement)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) (environmental handling requirement)

The RMC15MSST qualifies as a direct substitute based on these parameters. The substitute part maintains the same base product number family (RMC15 vs. AMC15) and is manufactured by the same supplier, indicating design lineage and functional equivalence. The substitute part carries active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and support.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The RMC15MSST is the appropriate substitute for the obsolete AMC15MSST based on the following engineering criteria:

Regulatory Compliance: Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) classification, ensuring compatibility with current manufacturing and environmental standards.

Product Lifecycle Status: The AMC15MSST is classified as obsolete, creating supply chain risk. The RMC15MSST carries active product status, providing assured availability and manufacturer support for ongoing production requirements.

Manufacturer Continuity: Both connectors are manufactured by Sullins Connector Solutions, indicating design lineage and functional equivalence within the manufacturer's product portfolio.

Electrical and Mechanical Configuration: The substitute part maintains the 2-row configuration and is designated for through-hole mounting, consistent with the card edge connector category and the main part's dual read-out design intent.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What is the primary reason for substituting the AMC15MSST?

A: The AMC15MSST is classified as obsolete. The RMC15MSST is an active product from the same manufacturer, ensuring component availability and ongoing technical support.

Q: Are the AMC15MSST and RMC15MSST electrically equivalent?

A: Both parts are 30-position, 2-row card edge connectors manufactured by Sullins Connector Solutions with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch. They share the same base product number family (AMC15 and RMC15), indicating functional equivalence within the manufacturer's design specifications.

Q: What are the key parameters that determine substitution compatibility?

A: Substitution compatibility is determined by: manufacturer (Sullins Connector Solutions), connector category (Card Edge Connectors), number of positions (30), number of rows (2), pitch (0.100"/2.54mm), gender (Male), RoHS compliance status (ROHS3), and moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1).

Q: Does the RMC15MSST meet the same regulatory requirements as the AMC15MSST?

A: Yes. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) classification. The RMC15MSST also carries REACH Unaffected status, consistent with the main part.

Q: What is the difference between the AMC15 and RMC15 base product numbers?

A: The base product numbers indicate different product lines within Sullins Connector Solutions' card edge connector portfolio. The RMC15 series represents the active product line, while the AMC15 series is obsolete. The RMC15MSST is the current equivalent within the manufacturer's active offerings.

Q: Are there any packaging or mounting differences between these parts?

A: The RMC15MSST is specified for through-hole mounting. The AMC15MSST features flush mount with top opening and threaded insert (4-40). Mounting configuration should be evaluated against specific application requirements.

Q: What inventory status should be considered for procurement?

A: The AMC15MSST has 1146 pieces in stock as new original inventory. The RMC15MSST has 1101 pieces in stock as new original inventory. Both parts are currently available, though the RMC15MSST is recommended for new designs due to its active product status.
