Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both CTVP00RW-11-35HN and CTVPS00RF-11-35HN are functionally equivalent substitutes for the discontinued ACT90MB35PN-3025 based on mechanical and electrical parameter alignment within MIL-DTL-38999 Series III specifications.

CTVP00RW-11-35HN (Amphenol Aerospace Operations):

• Active product status with confirmed inventory availability
• Maintains all critical mechanical and electrical parameters
• Operating temperature range of -65°C to 175°C is within the original specification envelope for most applications
• Olive Drab Cadmium shell finish provides alternative corrosion protection
• RoHS non-compliant status matches the original part
• Suitable for aerospace, aviation, marine, and military applications

CTVPS00RF-11-35HN (Amphenol Aerospace Operations):

• Active product status with confirmed inventory availability
• Maintains all critical mechanical and electrical parameters
• Operating temperature range of -65°C to 200°C matches the original specification exactly
• Electroless Nickel shell finish with Silver color provides alternative surface treatment
• ROHS3 compliant status offers regulatory advantage for new designs and procurement requirements
• Suitable for aerospace, aviation, marine, and military applications

Selection between the two substitutes depends on specific application requirements: CTVPS00RF-11-35HN is preferred for applications requiring full temperature range coverage and RoHS3 compliance; CTVP00RW-11-35HN is suitable for applications where RoHS non-compliance is acceptable and temperature operation does not exceed 175°C.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are CTVP00RW-11-35HN and CTVPS00RF-11-35HN direct mechanical replacements for ACT90MB35PN-3025?

A: Both parts are direct mechanical replacements. They share identical connector type, position count, shell size, mounting configuration, termination method, and fastening type. All three connectors conform to MIL-DTL-38999 Series III specifications and feature the same 13-position receptacle design with male pins, panel mount flange, and crimp termination.

Q: What is the difference in operating temperature between the substitute parts?

A: CTVP00RW-11-35HN operates from -65°C to 175°C, while CTVPS00RF-11-35HN operates from -65°C to 200°C. The original ACT90MB35PN-3025 operates from -65°C to 200°C. For applications requiring operation above 175°C, CTVPS00RF-11-35HN is the appropriate selection.

Q: What is the significance of the RoHS compliance difference?

A: The original ACT90MB35PN-3025 and CTVP00RW-11-35HN are RoHS non-compliant. CTVPS00RF-11-35HN is ROHS3 compliant. For new designs or procurement requirements mandating RoHS3 compliance, CTVPS00RF-11-35HN is the required selection. For legacy systems or applications without RoHS requirements, either substitute is acceptable.

Q: Are the shell finish variations functionally equivalent?

A: Yes. The shell finish variations (Nickel on the original, Olive Drab Cadmium on CTVP00RW-11-35HN, and Electroless Nickel on CTVPS00RF-11-35HN) provide different corrosion protection characteristics but do not affect electrical or mechanical performance. Selection depends on environmental exposure and aesthetic requirements specific to the application.

Q: Can these connectors be intermated with each other?

A: All three connectors are 13-position receptacles with male pins conforming to MIL-DTL-38999 Series III specifications. Mechanical intermatability is ensured by the standardized shell size (11-35) and pin configuration. Connector mating is determined by the corresponding plug connector used in the application.

Q: What is the significance of the contact finish thickness specification?

A: CTVP00RW-11-35HN and CTVPS00RF-11-35HN specify contact finish thickness of 100.0µin (2.54µm) for gold mating surfaces. The original ACT90MB35PN-3025 does not specify this value. The specified thickness ensures consistent electrical contact resistance and wear characteristics across mating cycles.

Q: Are all three connectors suitable for aerospace and military applications?

A: Yes. All three connectors are rated for aerospace and military applications. CTVP00RW-11-35HN and CTVPS00RF-11-35HN additionally support aviation and marine applications. All three maintain Environment Resistant ingress protection and unlimited moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1).

Q: What inventory status should be considered for procurement?

A: The original ACT90MB35PN-3025 is discontinued at DiGi Electronics with 1019 pieces reported in stock. CTVP00RW-11-35HN has 1039 pieces in stock and active product status. CTVPS00RF-11-35HN has 1004 pieces in stock and active product status. Both substitutes offer superior long-term availability through active manufacturer support.
