AMC59MSST Card Edge Connector Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The AMC59MSST is a 118-position male card edge connector manufactured by Sullins Connector Solutions, designed to interface with female edgecards using a 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch. This connector features dual read-out capability, beryllium copper contacts with gold finish, and operates across a temperature range of -65°C to 200°C. The part is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of active substitute components that maintain functional and electrical compatibility for ongoing applications and new designs.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the AMC59MSST is determined by the following critical parameters that must align between the main part and substitute components:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• Number of Positions: 118
• Number of Rows: 2
• Pitch: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Category: Card Edge Connectors
• Manufacturer: Sullins Connector Solutions
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

The RMC59MSST is identified as a direct substitute based on manufacturer continuity, shared base product number (RMC59 vs. AMC59), identical RoHS and MSL ratings, and active product status. Both connectors are manufactured by Sullins Connector Solutions and maintain compliance with ROHS3 and REACH requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The RMC59MSST serves as the active substitute for the obsolete AMC59MSST. Both components are manufactured by Sullins Connector Solutions and maintain identical compliance certifications: ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected, and MSL 1 (Unlimited). The transition from AMC59 to RMC59 base product numbers reflects the manufacturer's product line evolution while preserving core connector specifications.

Selection of the RMC59MSST is appropriate for applications requiring a 118-position, 2-row card edge connector with 0.100" pitch. The active product status of the RMC59MSST ensures ongoing availability and manufacturer support, addressing the obsolescence of the AMC59MSST.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What is the primary reason for substituting the AMC59MSST?

A: The AMC59MSST is classified as obsolete. The RMC59MSST is the active equivalent from the same manufacturer, ensuring continued availability and support for applications requiring this connector type.

Q: Are the AMC59MSST and RMC59MSST mechanically compatible?

A: Both connectors are 118-position, 2-row card edge connectors manufactured by Sullins Connector Solutions with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch. Mechanical compatibility is determined by the connector's interface with female edgecards and mounting specifications.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance requirements?

A: Yes. Both the AMC59MSST and RMC59MSST are ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected, and carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) ratings.

Q: What is the difference between the AMC59 and RMC59 base product numbers?

A: The base product numbers reflect different product lines within Sullins Connector Solutions' card edge connector portfolio. The RMC59 represents the current active product line, while AMC59 is obsolete.

Q: Is inventory availability a factor in part selection?

A: Inventory levels are provided for reference. The AMC59MSST has 1001 pieces in stock, while the RMC59MSST has 702 pieces available. However, product status (active vs. obsolete) is the primary driver for substitution decisions.

Q: Can the AMC59MSST and RMC59MSST be used interchangeably in existing designs?

A: Interchangeability depends on the specific application requirements and mechanical mounting specifications. Both parts share the same connector pitch, position count, and row configuration. Detailed design documentation should be consulted to confirm compatibility with existing PCB layouts and mechanical assemblies.
