Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the ACT90MJ61SN-3025 is based on strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Connector type: Receptacle with female sockets
• Position count: 61 positions
• Shell size designation: 25-61
• Mounting configuration: Panel mount with flange
• Termination method: Crimp
• Fastening mechanism: Threaded
• Shielding: Shielded construction
• Contact finish: Gold plating on mating surfaces
• Series compliance: MIL-DTL-38999 Series III

Allowable Variations:

• Shell finish color (Nickel vs. Olive Drab Cadmium)
• Operating temperature upper limit (200°C vs. 175°C)
• Manufacturer identity (TE Connectivity vs. Amphenol Aerospace)
• Current rating specification (7.5A vs. unspecified)
• Contact finish thickness documentation

The substitute part CTVP00RW-25-61JN meets all mandatory matching parameters while maintaining functional and mechanical compatibility within the MIL-DTL-38999 Series III standard.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The CTVP00RW-25-61JN circular connector from Amphenol Aerospace Operations is a direct functional substitute for the discontinued ACT90MJ61SN-3025. Both connectors comply with MIL-DTL-38999 Series III specifications and share identical mechanical and electrical interface characteristics.

Availability Advantage: The CTVP00RW-25-61JN maintains active product status with 761 units in stock, compared to the discontinued status of the original part.

Compliance Equivalence: Both parts carry identical ECCN (EAR99), HTSUS (8536.69.4020), and MSL (1 - Unlimited) classifications, ensuring equivalent regulatory and handling requirements.

Temperature Consideration: The substitute part operates to 175°C maximum, compared to 200°C for the original. Applications requiring sustained operation above 175°C require evaluation against actual system thermal requirements.

Finish Specification: The substitute features Olive Drab Cadmium shell finish versus Nickel on the original. Both finishes provide equivalent environmental resistance and corrosion protection for aerospace and military applications.

Current Rating: The original part specifies 7.5A current capacity. The substitute does not document a current rating specification. System design current requirements must be verified against the substitute's undocumented rating through manufacturer technical documentation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the CTVP00RW-25-61JN directly replace the ACT90MJ61SN-3025 in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. Both connectors meet MIL-DTL-38999 Series III specifications with identical pin counts (61), shell sizes (25-61), mounting configurations (panel mount flange), and termination methods (crimp). Mechanical and electrical interfaces are equivalent.

Q: What is the significance of the different shell finishes (Nickel vs. Olive Drab Cadmium)?

A: Both finishes provide environmental resistance and corrosion protection suitable for aerospace and military applications. The finish difference reflects different product lines within the MIL-DTL-38999 Series III standard. Selection depends on system-level finish specifications or color-coding requirements.

Q: Does the lower maximum operating temperature of the substitute (175°C vs. 200°C) affect compatibility?

A: Compatibility depends on actual system operating temperatures. If the application operates continuously or intermittently above 175°C, the substitute is not suitable. If maximum sustained temperature is 175°C or below, the substitute is fully compatible.

Q: Why is the current rating not specified for the CTVP00RW-25-61JN?

A: Current rating specifications vary by manufacturer documentation practices. The substitute's current capacity must be confirmed through Amphenol Aerospace technical documentation before final selection for current-critical applications.

Q: Are there any compliance or regulatory differences between the two parts?

A: No. Both parts carry identical ECCN (EAR99), HTSUS (8536.69.4020), MSL (1), and RoHS non-compliant status. Regulatory and handling requirements are equivalent.

Q: What is the packaging difference between the parts?

A: The original part packaging is not specified. The substitute is supplied in bulk packaging. Packaging configuration should be confirmed with the supplier for integration into procurement and assembly workflows.

Q: Are both connectors suitable for aviation, marine, and military applications?

A: The original part is specified for aerospace and military applications. The substitute is specified for aviation, marine, and military applications. Both are suitable for military and aerospace use. The substitute's marine application rating provides additional environmental capability.
