AMC59MWST Card Edge Connector Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The AMC59MWST 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 plating, 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 electrical and mechanical compatibility for continued system support and new design implementations.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the AMC59MWST is based on alignment of critical electrical and mechanical parameters that define functional compatibility within card edge connector applications. The primary substitution criteria include:

Electrical Parameters:

• Number of positions (118 total)
• Number of rows (2)
• Pitch specification (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Contact material and finish specifications
• Operating temperature range

Mechanical Parameters:

• Gender classification (Male)
• Card type compatibility (Fits Female Edgecards)
• Flange and mounting features
• Insulation material

Compliance Parameters:

• RoHS3 compliance status
• Moisture sensitivity level
• REACH compliance status

The RMC59MWST represents an active substitute within the Sullins Connector Solutions product line, sharing the base product number designation (59) and maintaining compatibility with the same card edge interface specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The RMC59MWST is the designated active substitute for the obsolete AMC59MWST. Both components are manufactured by Sullins Connector Solutions and maintain ROHS3 compliance with identical moisture sensitivity ratings. The transition from the AMC59MWST to the RMC59MWST is supported by equivalent compliance certifications and regulatory status.

Selection of the RMC59MWST is appropriate for applications requiring:

• Continued support of existing systems using AMC59MWST components
• New designs requiring 118-position, dual-row card edge connectors with 0.100" pitch
• Compliance with ROHS3 and REACH regulatory requirements
• Unlimited moisture sensitivity handling

The active product status of the RMC59MWST ensures availability for procurement and ongoing supply chain support, addressing the obsolescence of the original AMC59MWST component.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What is the primary reason for substituting the AMC59MWST?

A: The AMC59MWST is classified as obsolete. The RMC59MWST is the active equivalent from Sullins Connector Solutions, ensuring continued availability and supply chain support.

Q: Are the AMC59MWST and RMC59MWST electrically compatible?

A: Both components share the same base product number (59) and are designed for 118-position, dual-row card edge connector applications with 0.100" pitch specifications. Electrical compatibility is maintained through this common design basis.

Q: Do both parts meet the same regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. Both the AMC59MWST and RMC59MWST are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and carry identical moisture sensitivity level ratings (MSL 1 - Unlimited).

Q: What are the key parameters that determine substitution eligibility?

A: Substitution eligibility is determined by: number of positions (118), number of rows (2), pitch (0.100" / 2.54mm), gender (Male), card type compatibility (Fits Female Edgecards), contact specifications, operating temperature range, insulation material, and compliance certifications.

Q: Can the RMC59MWST be used as a direct replacement in existing designs?

A: The RMC59MWST is the active substitute for the obsolete AMC59MWST. Compatibility is based on shared electrical and mechanical parameters within the card edge connector category. Design verification should confirm interface requirements specific to the application.

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

A: The base product numbers indicate different product lines within Sullins Connector Solutions. The RMC59 represents the active product line, while AMC59 is obsolete. Both maintain compatibility through equivalent 118-position, dual-row, 0.100" pitch specifications.
