Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the AMC17MSST is evaluated based on the following critical parameters that define functional compatibility:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• Manufacturer: Sullins Connector Solutions (same manufacturer ensures design continuity)
• Category: Card Edge Connectors (same connector class)
• Number of Positions: 34 positions (electrical interface requirement)
• Number of Rows: 2 rows (physical layout requirement)
• Pitch: 0.100" (2.54mm) (mechanical spacing requirement)
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant (regulatory compliance)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) (handling and storage compatibility)
• REACH Status: REACH Unaffected (regulatory compliance)

The RMC17MSST is identified as a substitute part manufactured by Sullins Connector Solutions within the same card edge connector category. This part maintains the same base product number series (RMC17 vs. AMC17) and shares critical compliance certifications (ROHS3 Compliant, MSL 1, REACH Unaffected). The RMC17MSST is classified as Active product status, providing current availability and ongoing manufacturer support.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Obsolete Part Replacement:

The RMC17MSST is suitable for applications requiring a replacement for the obsolete AMC17MSST. Both parts are manufactured by Sullins Connector Solutions and maintain identical regulatory compliance certifications (ROHS3 Compliant, MSL 1, REACH Unaffected). The RMC17MSST carries Active product status, ensuring continued manufacturer support, availability, and traceability.

Supply Chain Considerations:

The AMC17MSST remains available with 1095 pieces in current inventory. The RMC17MSST is available with 874 pieces in current inventory. For new designs or long-term production requirements, the RMC17MSST is the appropriate selection due to its Active product status.

Compliance and Regulatory:

Both parts satisfy ROHS3 compliance requirements and REACH regulatory obligations. Both parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) classification, indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions during storage and handling.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What is the primary difference between the AMC17MSST and RMC17MSST?

A: The AMC17MSST is classified as Obsolete, while the RMC17MSST is classified as Active. Both are manufactured by Sullins Connector Solutions and share identical regulatory compliance certifications. The RMC17MSST represents the current active product line equivalent.

Q: Are the AMC17MSST and RMC17MSST mechanically compatible?

A: Both parts are 34-position, 2-row card edge connectors manufactured by Sullins Connector Solutions with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch. Mechanical compatibility is determined by the connector interface specifications and the female edgecard design. Consult the detailed mechanical drawings and pin assignment documentation for your specific application.

Q: Can I use the RMC17MSST as a direct replacement for the AMC17MSST?

A: The RMC17MSST shares the same manufacturer, category, position count, row configuration, and pitch as the AMC17MSST. Both parts maintain identical RoHS3 compliance, MSL 1 classification, and REACH compliance status. Substitution suitability depends on your specific application requirements and connector interface specifications.

Q: What is the significance of the MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating?

A: MSL 1 (Unlimited) indicates that both the AMC17MSST and RMC17MSST have no moisture sensitivity restrictions. These parts do not require special moisture-controlled storage or handling procedures and can be stored under standard industrial conditions.

Q: Why is the AMC17MSST marked as Obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates that the manufacturer has discontinued active production and support for this part number. The RMC17MSST, classified as Active, represents the current equivalent offering from Sullins Connector Solutions.

Q: Are both parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes, both the AMC17MSST and RMC17MSST are ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic components.
