Is it conical or elliptical?

The Rainier has an elliptical stylus

Does it come with mounting screws?

The Sumiko Rainier phono cartridge comes with mounting screws

What is the Input capacitance?

The words input capacitance do not appear on the spec sheet. I don't know what that is. However, internal impedance is 1,130. Load impedance 47K Ohms. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful. From a subjective perspective, I can hear a clear upgrade from my old Shure N95 HE.

Does this works with audio technica atlp120x?

It appears that the lp 120x uses a standard 1/2” mount head shell so the Sumiko cartridge will work. I have mine mounted to a AT head shell currently and it works great and does not require any shims to sit level.

Cartridge terminals are smaller than the head shell terminals

Cartridge a bit fiddley to fit as the shell head wires did not line up to the terminals on the cartridge, the terminals on the cartridge are of a smaller gauge also. After setting the tracking correctly and the weight the cartridge performed admirably, well good enough for my old ears.

Great sounding cartridge

I didn’t know much about this brand, but it was recommended to me by my turntable designer. He wasn’t wrong. It’s sharp and defined. I’m no expert, but to me this sounds much more rounded than similar cartridges I’ve had. I would definitely recommend
