Engineering Selection Recommendations

Product Status Consideration: The ACT90MH35SA is discontinued at DiGi Electronics, making the CTVPS00RF-23-35SA-LC the appropriate selection for new procurement and ongoing system support. The substitute part maintains active product status with Amphenol Aerospace Operations, ensuring availability and supply chain continuity.

Compliance and Certification: The CTVPS00RF-23-35SA-LC achieves ROHS3 compliance, whereas the original ACT90MH35SA is RoHS non-compliant. For applications subject to RoHS regulatory requirements, the substitute part satisfies current environmental standards. Both components maintain identical moisture sensitivity classification (MSL 1) and operate within the same temperature envelope.

Standards Alignment: Both parts conform to MIL-DTL-38999 Series III specifications. The substitute part operates within the Tri-Start™ TV series variant, which maintains full mechanical and electrical compatibility with the original ACT90 series design.

Inventory and Availability: The substitute part is available in higher inventory volume (706 pieces) compared to the original part (638 pieces), supporting immediate deployment requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the CTVPS00RF-23-35SA-LC directly replace the ACT90MH35SA in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. Both components share identical shell size (23-35), position count (100), mounting configuration (panel mount with flange), termination method (crimp), fastening type (threaded), and operating temperature range (-65°C to 200°C). Mechanical and electrical compatibility is maintained across all critical parameters.

Q: What is the difference between the shell finish specifications?

A: The ACT90MH35SA features nickel plating, while the CTVPS00RF-23-35SA-LC uses electroless nickel finish. Both finishes provide equivalent corrosion resistance and environmental protection for aerospace and military applications.

Q: Does the CTVPS00RF-23-35SA-LC include contacts?

A: No. The CTVPS00RF-23-35SA-LC is supplied as a receptacle housing without contacts. Contacts must be procured separately and installed using the crimp termination method.

Q: Are both parts qualified to the same military standards?

A: Yes. Both components conform to MIL-DTL-38999 Series III specifications. The substitute part operates within the Tri-Start™ TV series variant, which maintains full compliance with the original series requirements.

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

A: The CTVPS00RF-23-35SA-LC achieves ROHS3 compliance, meeting current environmental regulations for restricted hazardous substances. The original ACT90MH35SA is RoHS non-compliant. For applications subject to RoHS requirements, the substitute part is the appropriate selection.

Q: Is the contact size specification relevant for substitution?

A: The CTVPS00RF-23-35SA-LC specifies contact size 22D. This parameter applies to the contacts installed within the housing. Since the substitute part is supplied without contacts, contact selection must align with the original system design requirements.

Q: What is the packaging difference between the two parts?

A: The ACT90MH35SA is supplied in standard packaging, while the CTVPS00RF-23-35SA-LC is supplied in bulk packaging. Both formats support equivalent component functionality and installation procedures.
