Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the ACT90WB35PN is determined by strict adherence to the following parameters:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• Connector type: Receptacle with male pins
• Number of positions: 13
• Shell size insert: 11-35
• Series compliance: MIL-DTL-38999 Series III
• Mounting configuration: Panel mount with flange
• Termination method: Crimp
• Fastening: Threaded
• Shielding: Shielded design
• Contact finish: Gold plating on mating surfaces
• Contact material: Copper alloy
• Shell material: Composite
• Ingress protection: Environment resistant

Acceptable Variations:

• Shell finish: Olive Drab Cadmium or Electroless Nickel
• Operating temperature: Minimum -65°C to 175°C; higher upper limits acceptable
• Contact finish thickness: 50.0µin or 100.0µin
• RoHS compliance status: Non-compliant or compliant variants acceptable based on application requirements

The substitute parts CTVP00RW-11-35HN and CTVPS00RF-11-35HN meet all primary substitution criteria and are manufactured by Amphenol Aerospace Operations under the MIL-DTL-38999 Series III standard.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

CTVP00RW-11-35HN Selection Criteria:

The CTVP00RW-11-35HN is functionally equivalent to the ACT90WB35PN with active product status. This substitute maintains identical mechanical and electrical specifications including shell size, pin configuration, mounting interface, and operating temperature range. The connector features increased contact finish thickness (100.0µin versus 50.0µin), providing enhanced durability in mating cycles. RoHS non-compliance status matches the original part, making this substitute suitable for applications with existing compliance frameworks. Inventory availability (1039 units) supports immediate procurement requirements.

CTVPS00RF-11-35HN Selection Criteria:

The CTVPS00RF-11-35HN provides an alternative with extended operating temperature capability (-65°C to 200°C versus -65°C to 175°C) and ROHS3 compliance. The electroless nickel shell finish differs from the original olive drab cadmium, resulting in a silver color appearance. This substitute is appropriate for applications requiring enhanced environmental compliance or elevated temperature operation. The increased contact finish thickness (100.0µin) and active product status ensure long-term availability and supply chain stability.

Selection Logic:

Choose CTVP00RW-11-35HN for direct replacement requiring identical visual appearance and RoHS compliance status. Choose CTVPS00RF-11-35HN when extended temperature range or ROHS3 compliance is required, accepting the shell finish and color variation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the Amphenol substitutes mechanically compatible with the TE Connectivity ACT90WB35PN?

A: Yes. Both substitute parts maintain identical shell size (11-35), mounting configuration (panel mount flange), fastening type (threaded), and pin count (13 positions). The mechanical interface is fully compatible.

Q: What is the significance of the contact finish thickness difference (50.0µin versus 100.0µin)?

A: Contact finish thickness affects durability and mating cycle life. The Amphenol substitutes with 100.0µin thickness provide increased wear resistance compared to the original 50.0µin specification. Both thicknesses meet MIL-DTL-38999 Series III requirements.

Q: Can CTVPS00RF-11-35HN be used in applications originally specified for ACT90WB35PN?

A: Yes, with consideration of two differences: the shell finish is electroless nickel (silver) rather than olive drab cadmium, and the operating temperature range extends to 200°C. These variations do not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility. Applications requiring specific color coding should use CTVP00RW-11-35HN instead.

Q: What does RoHS compliance status mean for connector selection?

A: RoHS compliance restricts hazardous substances in electrical equipment. The original ACT90WB35PN is RoHS non-compliant. CTVP00RW-11-35HN maintains non-compliant status for direct replacement in existing systems. CTVPS00RF-11-35HN is ROHS3 compliant for new designs or systems requiring environmental compliance certification.

Q: Are all three connectors rated for the same current?

A: The ACT90WB35PN is rated at 5A. The Amphenol substitutes do not specify current rating in the provided data. For applications requiring confirmed current rating, the 5A specification of the original part should be verified against system requirements.

Q: What is the difference between the two Amphenol substitutes?

A: CTVP00RW-11-35HN maintains olive drab cadmium finish and -65°C to 175°C temperature range with RoHS non-compliance. CTVPS00RF-11-35HN features electroless nickel finish, extended -65°C to 200°C temperature range, and ROHS3 compliance. Both share identical pin configuration, mounting interface, and crimp termination.

Q: Can these connectors be intermated with each other?

A: All three connectors are MIL-DTL-38999 Series III compliant receptacles with male pins and identical shell size (11-35). Intermatability is determined by the plug connector design, not the receptacle specifications provided. Verify plug connector compatibility with the specific mating part number.
