Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

ACT90WJ61SN Status: This part is discontinued at DiGi Electronics. Current inventory of 810 pieces is available through existing stock channels, but long-term procurement is not guaranteed.

CTVP00RW-25-61JN Status: This part is active in production through Amphenol Aerospace Operations with 761 pieces currently in stock. The substitute maintains full compliance with MIL-DTL-38999 Series III specifications and shares identical electrical and mechanical characteristics with the original part.

Compliance Considerations: Both parts are RoHS non-compliant and carry identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.69.4020) classifications, indicating equivalent regulatory treatment for export and procurement purposes.

Contact Finish Thickness Difference: The CTVP00RW-25-61JN features a gold contact finish thickness of 100.0µin (2.54µm) compared to the ACT90WJ61SN at 50.0µin (1.27µm). This increased thickness provides enhanced durability and contact reliability without affecting electrical performance or mechanical compatibility.

Application Scope: The CTVP00RW-25-61JN extends application coverage to aviation and marine environments in addition to military applications, maintaining full compatibility with aerospace and military system requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CTVP00RW-25-61JN be used as a direct replacement for ACT90WJ61SN?

A: Yes. Both connectors are 61-position receptacles with female sockets, identical shell sizes (25-61), matching mounting configurations (panel mount with flange), and equivalent operating specifications across the -65°C to 175°C temperature range. Both comply with MIL-DTL-38999 Series III standards.

Q: What is the difference in contact finish thickness between these parts?

A: The ACT90WJ61SN has a gold contact finish of 50.0µin (1.27µm), while the CTVP00RW-25-61JN has 100.0µin (2.54µm). The thicker plating on the substitute part enhances contact durability and mating cycle performance without affecting electrical or mechanical compatibility.
