Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the AMC46MWST is determined by alignment of the following critical parameters:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• Manufacturer: Sullins Connector Solutions (same manufacturer ensures design compatibility)
• Category: Card Edge Connectors (functional category match)
• Number of Positions: 92 (electrical interface requirement)
• Number of Rows: 2 (physical configuration requirement)
• Pitch: 0.100" (2.54mm) (mechanical spacing requirement)
• Gender: Male (connector orientation requirement)
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant (regulatory compliance requirement)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) (environmental handling requirement)
• REACH Status: REACH Unaffected (regulatory compliance requirement)

The substitute part RMC46MWST is identified as a direct equivalent based on manufacturer continuity, base product number alignment (RMC46 vs. AMC46), and active product status, enabling procurement for applications currently utilizing the obsolete AMC46MWST.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The RMC46MWST is the direct substitute for the obsolete AMC46MWST. Both parts are manufactured by Sullins Connector Solutions and maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, satisfying regulatory requirements for current production environments. The RMC46MWST holds active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain continuity. The transition from AMC46MWST to RMC46MWST is supported by identical base product number lineage (AMC46 to RMC46), indicating design family continuity within the manufacturer's product portfolio. Selection of the RMC46MWST eliminates obsolescence risk while maintaining compliance posture and regulatory standing.
