ACT90WH55SA Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ACT90WH55SA is a 55-position circular connector receptacle manufactured by TE Connectivity Deutsch Connectors, designed for aerospace and military applications. This connector features female sockets with crimp termination, panel mount configuration, and shielded construction rated for 7.5A continuous current operation across a temperature range of -65°C to 175°C. The part is discontinued at DiGi Electronics, necessitating identification of equivalent substitute components that maintain functional and mechanical compatibility while meeting current availability and compliance requirements.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the ACT90WH55SA are identified based on strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mechanical Compatibility:

• 55-position connector configuration
• Shell size 23-55 insert designation
• Panel mount with flange mounting feature
• Threaded fastening type
• Orientation A

Electrical Compatibility:

• Receptacle housing for female sockets
• Crimp contact termination
• Shielded construction
• Environment resistant ingress protection

Qualification & Standards:

• MIL-DTL-38999 Series III compliance

The substitute parts CTVPS00RF-23-55JA-LC and CTVPS00RF-23-55SA-LC, manufactured by Amphenol Aerospace Operations, satisfy all mechanical and electrical compatibility requirements. Both substitutes are receptacle housings designed for 55-position female socket configurations with identical shell sizing, mounting methodology, and shielding characteristics. These parts are qualified to MIL-DTL-38999 Series III and maintain environment resistant protection ratings.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Product Status Consideration: The ACT90WH55SA is discontinued at DiGi Electronics. Both substitute parts, CTVPS00RF-23-55JA-LC and CTVPS00RF-23-55SA-LC, maintain active product status with Amphenol Aerospace Operations, ensuring continued availability and supply chain reliability.

Compliance & Certification: The substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant, whereas the original ACT90WH55SA is RoHS non-compliant. For applications subject to RoHS requirements, the Amphenol substitutes provide regulatory compliance alignment. Both substitutes maintain MIL-DTL-38999 Series III qualification, preserving military and aerospace specification adherence.

Operating Temperature Range: The substitute parts support an extended operating temperature range of -65°C to 200°C compared to the original part's -65°C to 175°C specification. This extended range provides additional thermal margin for demanding applications.

Mechanical & Electrical Equivalence: Both substitute parts maintain identical mechanical interfaces (shell size 23-55, panel mount flange, threaded fastening, orientation A) and electrical characteristics (55-position configuration, crimp termination, shielded construction, environment resistant protection). These parameters ensure direct functional replacement without redesign or reconfiguration.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CTVPS00RF-23-55JA-LC or CTVPS00RF-23-55SA-LC directly replace ACT90WH55SA in existing assemblies?

A: Both Amphenol substitutes maintain identical mechanical mounting interfaces (panel mount flange, threaded fastening) and electrical configuration (55-position, crimp termination, shielded). Direct mechanical and electrical replacement is supported without modification to panel cutouts, fastening hardware, or mating connector interfaces.

Q: What is the difference between CTVPS00RF-23-55JA-LC and CTVPS00RF-23-55SA-LC?

A: Both parts are functionally equivalent receptacle housings for 55-position female socket configurations. The designation suffix (-JA-LC versus -SA-LC) indicates internal variant coding within Amphenol's Tri-Start™ TV series. Both maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications, MIL-DTL-38999 Series III qualification, and operating parameters. Selection between the two is determined by specific procurement or configuration requirements.

Q: Are contacts included with the substitute parts?

A: No. Both CTVPS00RF-23-55JA-LC and CTVPS00RF-23-55SA-LC are receptacle housings supplied without contacts. Crimp contacts must be procured separately and installed according to MIL-DTL-38999 Series III specifications and the connector manufacturer's assembly procedures.

Q: Does the extended operating temperature range of the substitutes affect compatibility?

A: No. The substitute parts support -65°C to 200°C operation, which encompasses the original part's -65°C to 175°C range. The extended upper temperature limit provides additional thermal margin and does not introduce incompatibility with existing applications.

Q: What is the significance of RoHS3 compliance on the substitute parts?

A: The substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant, whereas the original ACT90WH55SA is RoHS non-compliant. For applications or procurement frameworks subject to RoHS directives, the Amphenol substitutes satisfy regulatory requirements. For applications without RoHS constraints, this difference does not affect functional compatibility.

Q: Are the substitute parts qualified to the same military standard as the original?

A: Yes. Both CTVPS00RF-23-55JA-LC and CTVPS00RF-23-55SA-LC are qualified to MIL-DTL-38999 Series III, the same specification as the original ACT90WH55SA. This ensures equivalent performance and reliability for aerospace and military applications.

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

A: The current rating for the substitute parts is not specified in the provided technical data. For applications requiring confirmation of current-carrying capacity, contact Amphenol Aerospace Operations directly with the specific part numbers.
