Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the AMC40MSST is determined by alignment of the following critical parameters:

Position and Pitch Configuration: The substitute part must maintain 80 total positions arranged in a 2-row configuration at 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch to ensure mechanical and electrical compatibility with existing female edgecard interfaces.

Connector Type and Gender: The substitute must function as a male card edge connector designed to interface with female edgecards, preserving the mating relationship of the original design.

Compliance and Environmental Ratings: The substitute part must maintain ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 (Unlimited) classification to satisfy regulatory requirements and environmental handling specifications.

Manufacturer Continuity: Sullins Connector Solutions maintains product line continuity through active substitute components that replace obsolete models while preserving core electrical and mechanical specifications.

The RMC40MSST is identified as a direct substitute based on these alignment criteria, with the distinction that it maintains active product status while the original AMC40MSST is obsolete.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Obsolete Component Replacement: The AMC40MSST is classified as obsolete and no longer available through standard distribution channels. The RMC40MSST is the active equivalent from Sullins Connector Solutions and maintains ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 (Unlimited) specifications, satisfying regulatory and environmental handling requirements for new designs and legacy system updates.

For Compliance Continuity: Both components maintain identical ROHS3 compliance status and REACH unaffected classification, ensuring that substitution does not introduce regulatory compliance gaps in applications subject to environmental and hazardous substance restrictions.

For Inventory Management: The RMC40MSST is currently available with 1130 pieces in stock, providing supply continuity for production requirements where the obsolete AMC40MSST is no longer procurable.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What is the primary reason for substituting the AMC40MSST?

A: The AMC40MSST is classified as obsolete and is no longer actively manufactured or distributed. The RMC40MSST is the active substitute component from the same manufacturer that maintains compatibility with the original specifications.

Q: Are the AMC40MSST and RMC40MSST mechanically compatible?

A: Both components are 80-position, 2-row male card edge connectors manufactured by Sullins Connector Solutions at 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, designed to interface with female edgecards. The mechanical compatibility is established through these shared core specifications.

Q: Do both parts meet the same regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. Both the AMC40MSST and RMC40MSST maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, ensuring equivalent regulatory standing for applications subject to environmental and hazardous substance restrictions.

Q: What is the difference between the base product numbers AMC40 and RMC40?

A: The base product numbers indicate different product lines within the Sullins Connector Solutions card edge connector portfolio. The RMC40 series represents the active product line that supersedes the obsolete AMC40 series while maintaining core electrical and mechanical specifications.

Q: Is the MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating the same for both parts?

A: Yes. Both components carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) classification, indicating identical moisture sensitivity handling requirements and unlimited shelf life under standard storage conditions.

Q: Can the RMC40MSST be used as a direct replacement in existing designs?

A: The RMC40MSST is designed as a functional equivalent for the AMC40MSST based on shared position count, row configuration, pitch, and connector type. Verification of mechanical fit within specific application enclosures and mounting configurations is necessary to confirm direct replacement suitability.
