Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the AMC16MWST is determined by the following critical parameters that must align between the main part and substitute candidates:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• Manufacturer: Sullins Connector Solutions
• Category: Card Edge Connectors
• Number of Positions: 32
• Number of Rows: 2
• Pitch: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Gender: Male
• Read Out: Dual
• Contact Material: Beryllium Copper
• Contact Finish: Gold
• Contact Finish Thickness: 30.0µin (0.76µm)
• Operating Temperature Range: -65°C ~ 200°C
• Material - Insulation: Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS)
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)
• REACH Status: REACH Unaffected

The RMC16MWST is identified as a direct manufacturer equivalent from Sullins Connector Solutions. This substitute maintains the same base product family designation (RMC16 vs. AMC16) and shares the core connector architecture for 32-position, 2-row card edge applications at 0.100" pitch. The substitute part carries active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and support.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The RMC16MWST is the appropriate substitute for the obsolete AMC16MWST based on the following engineering considerations:

Compliance & Regulatory Status: Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, ensuring compatibility with current environmental and regulatory requirements. The substitute part carries an active EAR99 export classification, providing clear regulatory standing for procurement and distribution.

Product Lifecycle: The transition from AMC16MWST (obsolete) to RMC16MWST (active) reflects standard product line evolution within the Sullins Connector Solutions card edge connector portfolio. The active status of the substitute ensures continued manufacturing support, quality assurance, and supply chain stability.

Moisture Sensitivity & Storage: Both parts share identical MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity constraints for storage, handling, or assembly processes.

Functional Equivalence: The RMC16MWST maintains the core connector specifications required for 32-position, dual-row card edge applications at 0.100" pitch, supporting direct functional replacement in existing designs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the RMC16MWST directly replace the AMC16MWST in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both connectors are manufactured by Sullins Connector Solutions and share the same core specifications for 32-position, 2-row card edge connector applications at 0.100" pitch. The RMC16MWST is the active equivalent product.

Q: What is the primary reason for substitution?

A: The AMC16MWST is classified as obsolete. The RMC16MWST is the active product offering from Sullins Connector Solutions for this connector category and specification set.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between the two parts?

A: No. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance, REACH unaffected status, and identical MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited). Regulatory and environmental requirements are equivalent.

Q: What parameters define compatibility for card edge connector substitution?

A: Critical parameters include number of positions (32), number of rows (2), pitch (0.100"), gender (male), read-out configuration (dual), contact material (beryllium copper), contact finish (gold), and operating temperature range (-65°C ~ 200°C). Both parts satisfy these requirements.

Q: Is the RMC16MWST available in the same packaging as the AMC16MWST?

A: Packaging information is not provided in the technical specifications for either part. Contact the manufacturer or authorized distributor for specific packaging details.

Q: What is the inventory status for the substitute part?

A: The RMC16MWST has 932 pieces of new original stock available. The AMC16MWST has 938 pieces in inventory but is obsolete.

Q: Are there any performance differences in operating temperature range?

A: Both parts operate across the same temperature range of -65°C ~ 200°C. No performance differentiation exists in this parameter.
