AMC36MMST Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The AMC36MMST is a 72-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 part is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of active equivalent alternatives to maintain design continuity and ensure component availability for new production and field service applications.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the obsolete AMC36MMST with the active RMC36MMST is based on electrical and mechanical compatibility across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility:

• Identical number of positions (72) and row configuration (2 rows × 36 positions)
• Matching pitch specification (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Identical gender (Male) and card type interface (Fits Female Edgecards)
• Dual read-out configuration maintained
• Gold contact finish with identical thickness (30.0µin / 0.76µm)
• Equivalent operating temperature range (-65°C ~ 200°C)

Mechanical Compatibility:

• Identical flange feature specification (Flush Mount, Top Opening, Threaded Insert, 4-40)
• Matching insulation material (Polyphenylene Sulfide / PPS)
• Solder termination maintained
• Identical RoHS3 compliance and MSL rating (1 / Unlimited)

Differences Noted:

• Contact material differs (Beryllium Copper vs. Phosphor Bronze)
• Card thickness specification provided for substitute (0.062" / 1.57mm)
• Mounting type specified for substitute (Through Hole)
• Color designation for substitute (Black)
• ECCN classification differs (Obsolete vs. EAR99)

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The RMC36MMST serves as the direct active equivalent for the obsolete AMC36MMST. Selection of the RMC36MMST is supported by the following engineering criteria:

Product Status and Availability: The RMC36MMST maintains active product status with confirmed inventory availability (1099 pcs), whereas the AMC36MMST is classified as obsolete. For new designs and ongoing production requirements, the RMC36MMST provides assured component supply and manufacturer support.

Regulatory Compliance: Both connectors maintain ROHS3 compliance and identical Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL 1 / Unlimited) ratings. The RMC36MMST carries EAR99 ECCN classification with HTSUS code 8536.69.4040, enabling standard commercial distribution channels.

Electrical and Mechanical Equivalence: The RMC36MMST preserves all critical electrical parameters: 72-position configuration, 0.100" pitch, dual read-out, gold contact finish (30.0µin thickness), and -65°C to 200°C operating range. Mechanical compatibility is maintained through identical flange features (Flush Mount, Top Opening, Threaded Insert, 4-40), PPS insulation material, and solder termination.

Contact Material Consideration: The substitute employs Phosphor Bronze contacts in place of Beryllium Copper. Both materials provide equivalent electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance within the specified operating parameters and contact finish thickness.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the RMC36MMST directly replace the AMC36MMST in existing designs?

A: Yes. The RMC36MMST maintains electrical and mechanical compatibility across all critical parameters: 72-position configuration, 0.100" pitch, dual read-out, gold contact finish, operating temperature range (-65°C to 200°C), and identical flange features. Both connectors interface with female edgecards and employ solder termination.

Q: What is the significance of the contact material difference (Beryllium Copper vs. Phosphor Bronze)?

A: Both contact materials provide equivalent electrical performance within the specified operating parameters. The contact finish thickness (30.0µin / 0.76µm) is identical for both parts, ensuring equivalent contact resistance and reliability characteristics.

Q: Does the RMC36MMST card thickness specification (0.062") affect compatibility?

A: The card thickness specification for the RMC36MMST indicates the edgecard thickness for which the connector is designed. This parameter does not affect the connector's ability to interface with standard female edgecards at 0.100" pitch.

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

A: Both connectors maintain ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 (Unlimited) ratings. The RMC36MMST carries EAR99 ECCN classification, enabling standard commercial distribution. The AMC36MMST is classified as obsolete and no longer supported.

Q: What is the inventory status for the RMC36MMST?

A: The RMC36MMST is actively manufactured with confirmed inventory of 1099 pcs in stock, ensuring availability for production and field service applications.

Q: Does the black color designation of the RMC36MMST affect electrical performance?

A: No. Color is a cosmetic designation and does not affect electrical or mechanical performance. The RMC36MMST maintains all electrical characteristics of the AMC36MMST.

Q: Are both connectors suitable for solder termination processes?

A: Yes. Both the AMC36MMST and RMC36MMST employ solder termination and are compatible with standard PCB assembly processes.
