Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the ACT90WC35SB are identified based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter alignment within the MIL-DTL-38999 Series III circular connector category. The following parameters establish substitution eligibility:

Critical Matching Parameters:

• Connector type: Receptacle for female sockets
• Number of positions: 22
• Shell size (insert): 13-35
• Mounting configuration: Panel mount with flange
• Termination method: Crimp
• Fastening type: Threaded
• Orientation: B
• Shielding: Shielded
• Series compliance: MIL-DTL-38999 Series III

The substitute parts listed maintain these core parameters, ensuring mechanical and electrical compatibility with mating components designed for the ACT90WC35SB. Variations in shell finish, housing color, and operating temperature range do not affect substitution eligibility when the critical parameters remain constant.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The ACT90WC35SB is discontinued, requiring transition to active alternatives. Both substitute parts—CTVPS00RF-13-35JB-LC and CTVPS00RF-13-35SB-LC—are manufactured by Amphenol Aerospace Operations and maintain active product status with full availability.

Compliance Considerations:

The substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant, whereas the main part is RoHS non-compliant. This distinction is significant for applications subject to RoHS regulations. The substitute parts also provide an extended operating temperature range (-65°C to 200°C) compared to the main part (-65°C to 175°C), offering additional thermal margin for demanding aerospace and military environments.

Mechanical and Electrical Compatibility:

Both substitute parts satisfy all critical substitution parameters: 22-position configuration, 13-35 shell size, panel mount with flange, threaded fastening, B orientation, crimp termination, and shielding. These connectors are fully compatible with mating components designed for the ACT90WC35SB within the MIL-DTL-38999 Series III standard.

Inventory and Availability:

CTVPS00RF-13-35JB-LC: 982 pieces in stock CTVPS00RF-13-35SB-LC: 806 pieces in stock

Both alternatives provide immediate availability for production requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CTVPS00RF-13-35JB-LC and CTVPS00RF-13-35SB-LC be used interchangeably with ACT90WC35SB?

A: Yes. Both substitute parts maintain identical critical parameters: 22-position receptacle configuration, 13-35 shell size, panel mount flange, threaded fastening, B orientation, crimp termination, and shielding. They are mechanically and electrically compatible with mating components designed for the ACT90WC35SB.

Q: What is the difference between CTVPS00RF-13-35JB-LC and CTVPS00RF-13-35SB-LC?

A: Both parts are functionally equivalent for substitution purposes. The designation difference (JB versus SB) reflects manufacturing or configuration variants within the Amphenol Tri-Start™ TV series, but they share identical electrical and mechanical specifications relevant to substitution.

Q: Why do the substitute parts have a higher operating temperature range?

A: The substitute parts operate from -65°C to 200°C, compared to the main part's -65°C to 175°C range. This extended thermal capability is a design feature of the Amphenol Tri-Start™ TV series and does not affect substitution compatibility. Applications operating within the original -65°C to 175°C range experience no functional difference.

Q: Are the substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both CTVPS00RF-13-35JB-LC and CTVPS00RF-13-35SB-LC are ROHS3 compliant, whereas the main part ACT90WC35SB is RoHS non-compliant. This is relevant for applications subject to RoHS regulations or customer requirements.

Q: Do the substitute parts include contacts?

A: No. The substitute parts are receptacle housings supplied without contacts. Contacts must be sourced separately and crimped according to MIL-DTL-38999 Series III specifications.

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

A: The current rating for the substitute parts is not specified in the provided data. Verify current rating specifications with the manufacturer if this parameter is critical for your application.

Q: Are these connectors suitable for aerospace and military applications?

A: Yes. All parts—the main part and substitutes—are designed for aerospace and military applications and comply with MIL-DTL-38999 Series III standards.
