AMC16MMSD Card Edge Connector Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The AMC16MMSD is a 32-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 the temperature range of -65°C to 200°C. The AMC16MMSD is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of active equivalent parts to maintain design continuity and ensure ongoing component availability for new production and field service applications.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the obsolete AMC16MMSD with the active RMC16MMSD is determined by equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility Parameters:

Number of positions: 32 positions maintained
Pitch specification: 0.100" (2.54mm) maintained
Read out configuration: Dual maintained
Contact finish: Gold maintained at 30.0µin (0.76µm) thickness
Operating temperature range: -65°C ~ 200°C maintained
Insulation material: Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS) maintained
Termination method: Solder maintained

Mechanical Compatibility Parameters:

Connector gender: Male maintained
Flange feature: Flush mount, unthreaded, 0.125" (3.18mm) diameter maintained
Mounting type: Through hole (RMC16MMSD) versus unspecified (AMC16MMSD)

Regulatory Compliance Parameters:

RoHS3 compliance maintained
Moisture sensitivity level 1 maintained
REACH unaffected status maintained

The RMC16MMSD represents the direct active equivalent with specification alignment across all functional and electrical parameters. Variations in contact material (phosphor bronze versus beryllium copper) and flange opening orientation (top opening versus side opening) do not affect functional interchangeability within standard card edge connector applications.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The RMC16MMSD is the direct active equivalent for the obsolete AMC16MMSD. Both connectors maintain identical electrical specifications, pitch, position count, and temperature operating range. The RMC16MMSD carries active product status with current manufacturing support and inventory availability (954 pieces in stock), whereas the AMC16MMSD is obsolete with no ongoing production.

Both parts satisfy ROHS3 compliance requirements and maintain REACH unaffected status, ensuring regulatory alignment for new designs and production applications. The RMC16MMSD is suitable for direct substitution in applications previously specified with the AMC16MMSD, with no functional performance degradation across the specified operating parameters.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the RMC16MMSD directly replace the AMC16MMSD in existing designs?

A: Yes. The RMC16MMSD maintains electrical and mechanical compatibility across all critical parameters including position count (32), pitch (0.100"), contact finish (gold at 30.0µin), operating temperature range (-65°C to 200°C), and termination method (solder). Both connectors interface with female edgecards using identical dual read-out configuration.

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

A: The AMC16MMSD uses beryllium copper contacts while the RMC16MMSD uses phosphor bronze contacts. Both materials are plated with gold at 30.0µin thickness and perform equivalently in standard card edge connector applications.

Q: Are there differences in the flange mounting features?

A: The AMC16MMSD features side opening flange configuration while the RMC16MMSD features top opening flange configuration. Both maintain flush mount design with unthreaded 0.125" (3.18mm) diameter specification. The flange opening orientation does not affect functional interchangeability in standard card edge applications.

Q: Does the RMC16MMSD support the same operating temperature range?

A: Yes. Both the AMC16MMSD and RMC16MMSD operate across the identical temperature range of -65°C to 200°C.

Q: Are both connectors RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the AMC16MMSD and RMC16MMSD are ROHS3 compliant and maintain REACH unaffected status.

Q: What is the card thickness specification for the RMC16MMSD?

A: The RMC16MMSD is specified for 0.062" (1.57mm) card thickness. This specification is provided for the substitute part and should be verified against application requirements.

Q: Is the RMC16MMSD currently available?

A: Yes. The RMC16MMSD is classified as active product status with 954 pieces in current inventory.
