Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the AMC41MWST is determined by the following critical parameters that must align between the main part and substitute candidates:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• Manufacturer: Sullins Connector Solutions
• Category: Card Edge Connectors
• Number of Positions: 82
• Number of Rows: 2
• Pitch: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Gender: Male
• Card Type: Fits Female Edgecards
• Read Out: Dual
• Contact Material: Beryllium Copper
• Contact Finish: Gold
• Operating Temperature Range: -65°C ~ 200°C
• Material - Insulation: Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS)
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)
• REACH Status: REACH Unaffected

The RMC41MWST qualifies as a direct substitute based on manufacturer continuity, base product family alignment (RMC41 vs. AMC41), and active product status. Both parts share the same connector architecture within the Sullins product line and maintain equivalent regulatory compliance certifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The RMC41MWST is the appropriate substitute for the obsolete AMC41MWST based on the following engineering factors:

Product Status Alignment: The RMC41MWST maintains active product status with Sullins Connector Solutions, ensuring ongoing availability and manufacturing support. The AMC41MWST obsolete classification creates supply chain risk for new production and field replacements.

Regulatory Compliance: Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, satisfying current environmental and hazardous substance regulations. The RMC41MWST carries EAR99 export classification, providing broader distribution flexibility compared to the obsolete designation of the main part.

Manufacturer Continuity: Both connectors originate from Sullins Connector Solutions, ensuring design consistency and manufacturing process alignment. The RMC41 base product family represents the current generation equivalent to the legacy AMC41 series.

Moisture Sensitivity: Both parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, indicating no moisture sensitivity constraints during storage, handling, or assembly operations.

Selection of the RMC41MWST eliminates obsolescence risk while maintaining full regulatory compliance and manufacturer support for card edge connector applications requiring 82-position, dual-row, 0.100" pitch male connectors.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What is the primary reason for substituting the AMC41MWST?

A: The AMC41MWST is classified as obsolete. The RMC41MWST is the active equivalent from the same manufacturer, ensuring continued component availability and manufacturing support.
