Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the obsolete AMC20MSST is determined by alignment of the following critical parameters:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• Connector category: Card Edge Connectors
• Number of positions: 40
• Number of rows: 2
• Pitch: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Manufacturer: Sullins Connector Solutions
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

The RMC20MSST is identified as a direct substitute based on shared manufacturer origin, identical position count (40), row configuration (2), and equivalent compliance certifications. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating, ensuring regulatory and environmental compatibility for replacement applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The RMC20MSST is the designated substitute for the obsolete AMC20MSST. Selection of the RMC20MSST is supported by the following factors:

Product Status: The RMC20MSST maintains active product status with current manufacturing availability, whereas the AMC20MSST is obsolete and subject to inventory depletion.

Regulatory Compliance: Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, ensuring compatibility with current environmental and regulatory requirements.

Certification Alignment: Both parts carry identical Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL 1) ratings, indicating equivalent handling and storage requirements.

Manufacturer Continuity: Both connectors originate from Sullins Connector Solutions, ensuring design consistency and manufacturing standards alignment.

The RMC20MSST is suitable for direct replacement in applications currently utilizing the AMC20MSST, provided that mechanical and electrical interface requirements are confirmed against the specific application design.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What is the primary reason for substituting the AMC20MSST?

A: The AMC20MSST is classified as obsolete. The RMC20MSST is the active equivalent from the same manufacturer, ensuring continued availability and supply chain continuity.

Q: Are the RoHS and REACH compliance statuses identical between the two parts?
