Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the ACT90WB98SN-3025 is determined by strict alignment of the following parameters:

Critical Matching Parameters:

• Connector type: Receptacle, Female Sockets
• Number of positions: 6
• Shell size - insert: 11-98
• Series compliance: MIL-DTL-38999 Series III
• Mounting configuration: Panel mount with flange
• Termination method: Crimp
• Fastening mechanism: Threaded
• Shielding: Shielded
• Contact finish: Gold plating on mating surfaces
• Contact material: Copper alloy
• Insert material: Thermoplastic

Acceptable Variations:

• Shell finish: Olive drab cadmium or electroless nickel
• Operating temperature upper limit: 175°C or higher
• RoHS compliance status
• Manufacturer identity (within aerospace-qualified suppliers)

The substitute parts CTVP00RW-11-98JN and CTVPS00RF-11-98JN satisfy all critical matching parameters and are manufactured by Amphenol Aerospace Operations, an established supplier within the MIL-DTL-38999 Series III ecosystem.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

CTVP00RW-11-98JN is functionally equivalent to the ACT90WB98SN-3025 across all critical parameters. Both connectors maintain identical shell size, position count, mounting configuration, and operating temperature range. The CTVP00RW-11-98JN is currently in active production status with 1180 units in stock, providing immediate availability. This part maintains RoHS non-compliant status consistent with the original specification and is suitable for aerospace and military applications.

CTVPS00RF-11-98JN provides an alternative with extended operating temperature capability (-65°C to 200°C versus -65°C to 175°C) and ROHS3 compliance. The shell finish differs (electroless nickel versus olive drab cadmium), and the color is silver rather than olive drab. This part is also in active production with 892 units in stock. Selection of this alternative is appropriate when RoHS3 compliance is a system requirement or when the extended temperature range provides operational benefit.

Both substitute parts are manufactured by Amphenol Aerospace Operations and comply with MIL-DTL-38999 Series III specifications, ensuring mechanical and electrical interchangeability within the connector ecosystem.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CTVP00RW-11-98JN directly replace ACT90WB98SN-3025 in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical shell size (11-98), position count (6), mounting configuration (panel mount with flange), termination method (crimp), and fastening type (threaded). The operating temperature range is identical (-65°C to 175°C), and both maintain gold contact finish on copper alloy contacts. Physical and electrical compatibility is confirmed.

Q: What is the difference between CTVP00RW-11-98JN and CTVPS00RF-11-98JN?

A: The primary differences are shell finish and operating temperature range. CTVP00RW-11-98JN features olive drab cadmium finish matching the original part, while CTVPS00RF-11-98JN uses electroless nickel finish. CTVPS00RF-11-98JN operates to 200°C versus 175°C for CTVP00RW-11-98JN. Additionally, CTVPS00RF-11-98JN is ROHS3 compliant, whereas CTVP00RW-11-98JN maintains RoHS non-compliant status.

Q: Does shell finish affect connector performance?

A: Shell finish does not affect electrical performance or mechanical interchangeability. Finish selection is determined by application environment and system compliance requirements. Olive drab cadmium finish is traditional for military applications, while electroless nickel provides alternative corrosion resistance characteristics.

Q: Are both substitute parts qualified for aerospace applications?

A: Yes. Both CTVP00RW-11-98JN and CTVPS00RF-11-98JN are manufactured by Amphenol Aerospace Operations and comply with MIL-DTL-38999 Series III specifications. Both are rated for aerospace and military applications.

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

A: The contact finish thickness of 100.0µin (2.54µm) specified for both substitute parts defines the gold plating depth on mating surfaces. This specification ensures consistent electrical contact resistance and wear characteristics across mating cycles. The original part does not specify this value, but the substitute parts provide this additional technical documentation.

Q: Can I use CTVPS00RF-11-98JN if my system requires RoHS non-compliant components?

A: No. CTVPS00RF-11-98JN is ROHS3 compliant and therefore not suitable for applications requiring RoHS non-compliant components. In this case, CTVP00RW-11-98JN is the appropriate substitute, as it maintains RoHS non-compliant status consistent with the original ACT90WB98SN-3025.

Q: Are there any packaging differences between the original and substitute parts?

A: The original ACT90WB98SN-3025 packaging is not specified in the provided data. Both substitute parts are supplied in bulk packaging. Confirm packaging requirements with your procurement specification before finalizing component selection.

Q: What is the current rating for the substitute parts?

A: The current rating is not specified for either substitute part in the provided technical data. The original ACT90WB98SN-3025 is rated at 7.5A. Contact the manufacturer directly for current rating specifications of the substitute parts if this parameter is critical to your application.
