AMC17MWST Card Edge Connector Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The AMC17MWST is a 34-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 beryllium copper contacts finished in gold. The product is currently classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of active equivalent alternatives to maintain design continuity and ensure component availability for ongoing applications and repairs.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the AMC17MWST is determined by the following critical parameters that must align between the main part and substitute alternatives:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• Manufacturer: Sullins Connector Solutions (same manufacturer ensures design compatibility)
• Category: Card Edge Connectors (functional category match)
• Number of Positions: 34 (electrical interface requirement)
• Number of Rows: 2 (physical configuration requirement)
• Pitch: 0.100" (2.54mm) (contact spacing standard)
• Gender: Male (connector orientation)
• Read Out: Dual (signal access configuration)

Secondary Compliance Parameters:

• RoHS3 Compliance (regulatory requirement)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (handling and storage compatibility)
• REACH Unaffected status (material compliance)

The RMC17MWST represents an active product alternative from the same manufacturer within the same connector series, providing functional equivalence for applications requiring 34-position, 2-row, 0.100" pitch male card edge connectors.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The RMC17MWST is the active equivalent substitute for the obsolete AMC17MWST. Both components are manufactured by Sullins Connector Solutions and share identical compliance certifications: ROHS3 compliance, MSL Level 1, and REACH Unaffected status. The transition from the AMC17MWST to the RMC17MWST maintains regulatory compliance requirements for new designs and replacement applications.

The RMC17MWST is currently in active production status with confirmed inventory availability (1049 pieces), ensuring supply chain continuity for applications previously utilizing the AMC17MWST. The ECCN classification change from OBSOLETE to EAR99 reflects the active product status and standard export control designation for passive electronic components.

Selection of the RMC17MWST for replacement applications is supported by identical manufacturer origin, matching compliance framework, and confirmed active production status.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the RMC17MWST directly replace the AMC17MWST in existing applications?

A: The RMC17MWST is manufactured by the same supplier (Sullins Connector Solutions) and maintains identical compliance certifications (ROHS3, MSL Level 1, REACH Unaffected). Both components are card edge connectors within the same product series. Compatibility is determined by the specific mechanical and electrical interface requirements of the application, particularly the card thickness and mounting configuration of the target edgecard.

Q: What is the primary reason for substitution?

A: The AMC17MWST is classified as obsolete, indicating discontinued production. The RMC17MWST is the active equivalent from the same manufacturer, ensuring continued availability and supply chain support for applications requiring 34-position, 2-row, 0.100" pitch male card edge connectors.

Q: Are there differences in contact material or finish specifications?

A: The provided specifications for the RMC17MWST do not include detailed contact material or finish data. For applications where specific contact material (beryllium copper) or gold finish thickness (30.0µin) are critical requirements, direct contact material specifications for the RMC17MWST must be obtained from the manufacturer.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to both parts?

A: Both the AMC17MWST and RMC17MWST are ROHS3 compliant, carry MSL Level 1 (unlimited moisture sensitivity), and are REACH Unaffected. These certifications ensure compatibility with current regulatory requirements for electronic component procurement and use.

Q: How does the change in ECCN classification affect component selection?

A: The ECCN classification change from OBSOLETE to EAR99 reflects the product status transition. EAR99 is the standard export control classification for most passive electronic components and does not restrict component selection for domestic applications. Export considerations may apply depending on destination country requirements.

Q: What inventory status should be considered for procurement?

A: The RMC17MWST has confirmed inventory of 1049 pieces in new original condition. The AMC17MWST has 943 pieces available but is obsolete. For new designs and long-term applications, the RMC17MWST is the appropriate selection due to active production status and assured future availability.
