ACT94MD15BA-3025 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ACT94MD15BA-3025 is a 15-position circular connector receptacle housing for panel mount applications, manufactured by TE Connectivity Deutsch Connectors. This component is part of the MIL-DTL-38999 Series III connector family and features a composite shell with electroless nickel finish, designed for female socket terminations with crimp-type contacts.

The ACT94MD15BA-3025 is currently discontinued at DiGi Electronics. Identifying equivalent substitute parts is necessary to maintain design compatibility and ensure continued availability for production, repair, and maintenance applications where this connector type is specified.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the ACT94MD15BA-3025 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• Connector type: Receptacle housing for female sockets
• Number of positions: 15
• Shell size: 15-15
• Contact configuration: Crimp-type with 16 (1) and 20 (14) contact sizes
• Mounting: Panel mount with bulkhead front side nut and threaded fastening
• Orientation: A
• Shielding: Shielded
• Contact shape: Circular
• Ingress protection: Environment resistant

Secondary Compatibility Factors:

• Operating temperature range (substitute must support the application temperature envelope)
• Shell material: Composite
• Fastening mechanism: Threaded
• MSL rating: 1 (Unlimited)

All substitute parts listed maintain equivalence across these parameters, ensuring mechanical and electrical interchangeability within the MIL-DTL-38999 Series III connector family.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitutes (Recommended):

The Amphenol Aerospace Operations CTV07RW series connectors (CTV07RW-15-15BA, CTV07RW-15-15JA, CTV07RW-15-15JA-LC, and CTV07RW-15-15SA-LC) are active products that provide direct functional equivalence to the discontinued ACT94MD15BA-3025. All substitute parts maintain the critical mechanical and electrical parameters required for MIL-DTL-38999 Series III compliance.

Temperature Consideration:

The ACT94MD15BA-3025 supports an operating temperature range of -65°C to 200°C. All Amphenol substitute parts support -65°C to 175°C. Applications requiring operation above 175°C require evaluation against the specific thermal requirements of the end system.

Shell Finish and Housing Color Differences:

The original part features electroless nickel finish with silver housing color. Substitute parts feature cadmium finish with olive drab housing color. These differences are cosmetic and do not affect electrical or mechanical interchangeability. Environmental and corrosion resistance properties remain equivalent for the specified ingress protection rating.

Product Status:

All substitute parts are active products with confirmed inventory availability, ensuring long-term supply chain continuity compared to the discontinued original part.

Compliance:

All parts maintain equivalent RoHS non-compliance status and EAR99 export classification, ensuring regulatory consistency in applications where these designations are specified.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the Amphenol CTV07RW series connectors mechanically interchangeable with the TE Connectivity ACT94MD15BA-3025?

A: Yes. All substitute parts maintain identical shell size (15-15), contact configuration (16 (1), 20 (14)), mounting type (panel mount with bulkhead front side nut), and fastening mechanism (threaded). Mechanical interchangeability is confirmed across all listed substitutes.

Q: What is the difference between CTV07RW-15-15BA, CTV07RW-15-15JA, CTV07RW-15-15JA-LC, and CTV07RW-15-15SA-LC?

A: All four parts are functionally equivalent receptacle housings with identical position count, shell size, contact type, and mounting configuration. Differences exist in shell finish specifications and contact finish properties (CTV07RW-15-15JA specifies gold mating contact finish at 100.0µin thickness). Selection between these variants depends on specific application requirements for contact finish and environmental exposure conditions.

Q: Can I use these substitutes in applications requiring operation above 175°C?

A: The substitute parts are rated to -65°C to 175°C, while the original ACT94MD15BA-3025 is rated to -65°C to 200°C. Applications requiring sustained operation between 175°C and 200°C require thermal analysis and validation against the specific substitute part selected.

Q: Are the substitute parts available in the same packaging as the original?

A: The ACT94MD15BA-3025 was packaged in standard format. All Amphenol substitute parts are supplied in bulk packaging. Packaging format differences do not affect connector functionality or interchangeability.

Q: Do the substitute parts include contacts?

A: No. All substitute parts are supplied as receptacle housings without contacts included, consistent with the original ACT94MD15BA-3025 specification. Contacts must be procured separately and crimped according to MIL-DTL-38999 Series III specifications.

Q: What is the inventory status of the substitute parts?

A: Current inventory levels are: CTV07RW-15-15BA (964 pcs), CTV07RW-15-15JA (1184 pcs), CTV07RW-15-15JA-LC (1073 pcs), and CTV07RW-15-15SA-LC (748 pcs). All parts are in stock as new original components.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences between the original and substitute parts?

A: All parts maintain equivalent RoHS non-compliance status, MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), and EAR99 export classification. No compliance or certification differences exist that would affect design implementation.
