AMC16MMST Card Edge Connector Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The AMC16MMST 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, gold-plated beryllium copper contacts, and operates across -65°C to 200°C. The AMC16MMST is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of active equivalent parts to maintain design continuity and ensure component availability for new production and field service applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the obsolete AMC16MMST is based on electrical and mechanical compatibility across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility Criteria:

• Identical number of positions (32)
• Matching pitch specification (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Identical row configuration (2 rows)
• Dual read-out functionality
• Gold contact finish with equivalent thickness (30.0µin)
• Matching operating temperature range (-65°C ~ 200°C)

Mechanical Compatibility Criteria:

• Male gender connector
• Card edge connector type
• Solder termination
• Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS) insulation material
• Flush mount flange with threaded insert (4-40)
• Compatibility with female edgecards

Compliance Criteria:

• ROHS3 compliance maintained
• Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited)

The RMC16MMST meets all substitution criteria while offering active product status and current manufacturing support.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The RMC16MMST is the direct functional equivalent for the obsolete AMC16MMST. Both connectors maintain identical electrical specifications, mechanical dimensions, and compliance certifications. The RMC16MMST carries active product status with current manufacturing support from Sullins Connector Solutions, ensuring long-term component availability and supply chain continuity.

Selection of the RMC16MMST is appropriate for new designs, production builds, and field service applications requiring replacement of the AMC16MMST. The substitute part maintains ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating, supporting deployment in regulated and industrial environments.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the RMC16MMST directly replace the AMC16MMST in existing designs?

A: Yes. The RMC16MMST maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications, including 32-position configuration, 0.100" pitch, dual read-out, solder termination, and operating temperature range. Both connectors interface with female edgecards and feature matching flange geometry with 4-40 threaded inserts.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two connectors?

A: The AMC16MMST is obsolete with no active manufacturing. The RMC16MMST is an active product with current production support. The RMC16MMST also specifies a card thickness of 0.062" (1.57mm) and includes through-hole mounting designation. Contact material differs: AMC16MMST uses beryllium copper while RMC16MMST uses phosphor bronze. Both maintain equivalent gold plating thickness and operating characteristics.

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns when substituting the RMC16MMST for the AMC16MMST?

A: No compatibility concerns exist for electrical or mechanical interface. Both connectors are manufactured by Sullins Connector Solutions and maintain identical pitch, position count, row configuration, and termination method. The 0.062" card thickness specification on the RMC16MMST confirms compatibility with standard edgecard designs.

Q: Do both connectors meet the same compliance requirements?

A: Yes. Both the AMC16MMST and RMC16MMST are ROHS3 compliant with Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited). Both maintain equivalent environmental ratings and are suitable for industrial and regulated applications.

Q: What is the significance of the contact material difference between these connectors?

A: The AMC16MMST uses beryllium copper contacts while the RMC16MMST uses phosphor bronze contacts. Both materials are standard for card edge connectors and maintain the specified gold plating finish thickness of 30.0µin (0.76µm). Both contact materials support the full operating temperature range of -65°C to 200°C.
