Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the obsolete AMC15MWST is determined by alignment of the following critical parameters:

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)
• Card Type: Fits Female Edgecards (mating interface requirement)
• Read Out: Dual (electrical contact configuration)

Compliance Criteria:

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

The RMC15MWST is identified as a direct substitute based on manufacturer continuity and shared base product number (RMC15 vs. AMC15), indicating design lineage within the Sullins product family. The substitute part maintains active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and support.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The RMC15MWST is the active equivalent for the obsolete AMC15MWST. Selection of the RMC15MWST is supported by the following factors:

Product Status: The RMC15MWST maintains active product status with Sullins Connector Solutions, ensuring continued manufacturing, quality assurance, and technical support. The AMC15MWST obsolete status creates supply chain risk and eliminates access to manufacturer technical resources.

Regulatory Compliance: Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, satisfying current regulatory requirements for electronic component procurement. Both parts carry Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 classification, indicating identical handling and storage requirements.

Manufacturer Continuity: Both parts originate from Sullins Connector Solutions with related base product numbers (AMC15 and RMC15), indicating design lineage and manufacturer commitment to the product family. This relationship supports design compatibility and interchangeability.

Procurement Availability: Current inventory of 770 pieces of the RMC15MWST ensures immediate availability for production and field service applications, eliminating delays associated with obsolete part sourcing.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What is the primary reason for substituting the AMC15MWST?

A: The AMC15MWST is classified as obsolete, which restricts procurement options and eliminates manufacturer support. The RMC15MWST provides an active alternative from the same manufacturer with equivalent compliance certifications.

Q: Are the AMC15MWST and RMC15MWST mechanically interchangeable?

A: Both connectors are 30-position, 2-row card edge connectors manufactured by Sullins Connector Solutions with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch. The shared base product number relationship (AMC15 and RMC15) indicates design compatibility within the manufacturer's product family.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to both parts?

A: Both the AMC15MWST and RMC15MWST are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and classified as Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (unlimited). These certifications satisfy current regulatory requirements for electronic component procurement and use.

Q: Does the RMC15MWST have the same contact material and finish specifications?

A: Contact material and finish specifications for the RMC15MWST are not provided in available technical data. Direct contact with Sullins Connector Solutions is required to confirm contact material (beryllium copper), finish type (gold), and finish thickness (30.0µin) specifications for the RMC15MWST.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for the RMC15MWST?

A: Operating temperature range for the RMC15MWST is not specified in available technical data. Confirmation of the -65°C ~ 200°C operating range for the RMC15MWST requires consultation with Sullins Connector Solutions technical documentation.

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

A: Mounting and termination specifications for the RMC15MWST are not provided in available technical data. The AMC15MWST features flush mount configuration with top opening and threaded insert (4-40). Confirmation of equivalent mounting specifications for the RMC15MWST is required through manufacturer documentation.

Q: What inventory levels are available for each part?

A: The AMC15MWST (obsolete) has 773 pieces in stock. The RMC15MWST (active) has 770 pieces in stock, providing immediate availability for procurement and production applications.
