ACT90WD19PN Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ACT90WD19PN is a 19-position circular connector receptacle with male pins manufactured by TE Connectivity Deutsch Connectors. This connector is designed for aerospace and military applications and conforms to MIL-DTL-38999 Series III specifications. The part is discontinued at DiGi Electronics, making equivalent substitute parts necessary for ongoing system support and procurement requirements. The connector features crimp termination, panel mount flange configuration, and shielded design with gold-plated mating contacts rated for 7.5A continuous current.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the ACT90WD19PN is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Connector type: Receptacle with male pins
• Number of positions: 19
• Shell size insert range: 15-19
• Mounting configuration: Panel mount with flange
• Termination method: Crimp
• Fastening type: Threaded
• Orientation: Normal (N)
• Shell material: Composite
• Contact finish: Gold plated
• Shielding: Shielded design
• Insert material: Thermoplastic
• MIL-DTL-38999 Series III compliance

Allowable Variations:

• Manufacturer identity (TE Connectivity Deutsch vs. Amphenol Aerospace Operations)
• Shell finish (Olive Drab Cadmium vs. Electroless Nickel)
• Contact finish thickness (50.0µin vs. 100.0µin)
• Operating temperature upper limit (175°C vs. 200°C)
• RoHS compliance status
• Current rating specification (stated vs. not stated in documentation)

The substitute parts CTVP00RW-15-19HN and CTVPS00RF-15-19HN meet all mandatory matching parameters and are therefore functionally equivalent for connector interface applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

CTVP00RW-15-19HN Selection Criteria:

This substitute maintains identical operating temperature range (-65°C to 175°C) and shell finish (Olive Drab Cadmium) to the original ACT90WD19PN. The part is currently active in production with higher inventory availability (1301 pieces). Contact finish thickness is increased to 100.0µin, providing enhanced durability. This part is RoHS non-compliant, matching the compliance status of the original component. Selection of CTVP00RW-15-19HN is appropriate for applications where RoHS compliance is not required and existing system specifications reference Olive Drab Cadmium finish.

CTVPS00RF-15-19HN Selection Criteria:

This substitute offers extended operating temperature capability (-65°C to 200°C), exceeding the original specification. The shell finish is Electroless Nickel rather than Olive Drab Cadmium. Contact finish thickness is 100.0µin. This part is ROHS3 compliant, providing environmental regulatory advantage over the discontinued original part. Selection of CTVPS00RF-15-19HN is appropriate for applications requiring RoHS3 compliance or extended temperature operation, provided system design accommodates the alternative shell finish.

Both substitute parts are active products from Amphenol Aerospace Operations with established supply chains, addressing the discontinuation status of the original ACT90WD19PN.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CTVP00RW-15-19HN and CTVPS00RF-15-19HN be used interchangeably with ACT90WD19PN?

A: Both parts are functionally equivalent for connector interface applications. They share identical connector type, position count, shell size, mounting configuration, termination method, and shielding. Physical mating and electrical interface compatibility are maintained. Differences in shell finish, contact finish thickness, operating temperature range, and RoHS compliance must be evaluated against specific system requirements.

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

A: The ACT90WD19PN specifies 50.0µin (1.27µm) gold plating thickness, while both substitute parts specify 100.0µin (2.54µm). Thicker gold plating provides increased resistance to wear and corrosion during mating cycles. This variation does not affect electrical interface compatibility but may impact connector lifecycle in high-cycle applications.

Q: Why does CTVPS00RF-15-19HN have a higher operating temperature rating?

A: CTVPS00RF-15-19HN is rated to -65°C to 200°C, compared to -65°C to 175°C for the original part. This extended upper temperature limit is a material or design characteristic of the Amphenol Tri-Start™ TV series. Systems operating within the original 175°C specification can use either substitute without thermal limitation concerns.

Q: What is the difference between Olive Drab Cadmium and Electroless Nickel finishes?

A: Olive Drab Cadmium is the original shell finish on ACT90WD19PN and CTVP00RW-15-19HN. Electroless Nickel is the shell finish on CTVPS00RF-15-19HN. These are distinct surface treatments affecting corrosion resistance and appearance. System specifications may require specific finish compatibility with mating components or environmental exposure conditions.

Q: Is RoHS compliance a factor in selecting a substitute?

A: RoHS compliance status depends on system regulatory requirements. The original ACT90WD19PN and CTVP00RW-15-19HN are RoHS non-compliant. CTVPS00RF-15-19HN is ROHS3 compliant. Systems subject to RoHS3 regulations must use CTVPS00RF-15-19HN. Systems without RoHS requirements can use either substitute.

Q: Are all three parts MIL-DTL-38999 Series III compliant?

A: Yes. ACT90WD19PN is designated as MIL-DTL-38999 Series III, ACT. Both substitute parts are designated as MIL-DTL-38999 Series III, Tri-Start™ TV. All three parts conform to the same military specification standard for circular connectors.

Q: What packaging format are the substitute parts supplied in?

A: Both CTVP00RW-15-19HN and CTVPS00RF-15-19HN are supplied in bulk packaging, compared to the original part which does not specify packaging format. Bulk packaging is standard for aerospace connector procurement and does not affect connector functionality or interface compatibility.

Q: How do I determine which substitute is appropriate for my application?

A: Evaluate your system requirements against the following decision criteria: (1) RoHS compliance requirement—if required, use CTVPS00RF-15-19HN; if not required, either substitute is acceptable; (2) Operating temperature—if operation above 175°C is required, use CTVPS00RF-15-19HN; (3) Shell finish specification—if Olive Drab Cadmium is required, use CTVP00RW-15-19HN; if Electroless Nickel is acceptable, use CTVPS00RF-15-19HN; (4) Connector interface compatibility—both substitutes maintain identical mating interface with the original part.
