Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the ACT94MD15SA-3025 is determined by strict adherence to the following parameters:

Critical Matching Parameters:

• Connector type: Receptacle with female sockets
• Position count: 15 positions
• Shell size: 15-15 configuration
• Series compliance: MIL-DTL-38999 Series III
• Mounting configuration: Panel mount with bulkhead front-side nut
• Termination method: Crimp
• Fastening: Threaded
• Orientation: A
• Shielding: Shielded design
• Contact material: Copper alloy with gold mating finish
• Environmental rating: Environment resistant

Acceptable Variation Parameters:

• Manufacturer: Alternative qualified manufacturers within MIL-DTL-38999 Series III
• Shell finish: Variations in plating (nickel, cadmium, olive drab cadmium)
• Operating temperature: Substitute parts with lower maximum temperature ratings are not acceptable; equal or higher ratings are acceptable
• Housing color: Cosmetic variation acceptable
• Contact finish thickness: Variations within specification acceptable

The substitute parts listed below maintain all critical parameters while representing active production alternatives from Amphenol Aerospace Operations, a qualified manufacturer within the MIL-DTL-38999 Series III specification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

CTV07RW-15-15JA is the primary direct substitute for ACT94MD15SA-3025. This part maintains complete functional equivalence as a 15-position receptacle with female sockets, gold-plated contacts, and crimp termination. Both components comply with MIL-DTL-38999 Series III specification and share identical mechanical mounting configurations. The CTV07RW-15-15JA is manufactured by Amphenol Aerospace Operations and maintains active production status, ensuring long-term availability. The operating temperature range of -65°C to 175°C is acceptable for applications not requiring the extended 200°C upper limit of the original part.

CTV07RW-15-15BA, CTV07RW-15-15JA-LC, and CTV07RW-15-15SA-LC are receptacle housings without integrated contacts. These parts are suitable only for applications where contacts are sourced separately or where housing replacement is required independent of contact assembly. These options are not direct substitutes for complete connector assemblies.

All substitute parts are manufactured by Amphenol Aerospace Operations, a qualified supplier within the MIL-DTL-38999 Series III specification framework. All alternatives maintain RoHS non-compliant status consistent with the original part and aerospace/military application requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CTV07RW-15-15JA directly replace ACT94MD15SA-3025 in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. The CTV07RW-15-15JA maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters required for direct substitution. Both parts are 15-position receptacles with female sockets, gold-plated contacts, crimp termination, and MIL-DTL-38999 Series III compliance. Panel-mount configurations and threaded fastening are identical.

Q: What is the difference between CTV07RW-15-15JA and the housing-only variants (CTV07RW-15-15BA, CTV07RW-15-15JA-LC, CTV07RW-15-15SA-LC)?

A: The CTV07RW-15-15JA is a complete receptacle assembly with integrated female sockets and gold-plated contacts. The housing-only variants (BA, JA-LC, SA-LC) provide the connector shell and insert structure without contacts. Housing-only parts require separate contact procurement and assembly.

Q: Are there operating temperature limitations when substituting with CTV07RW-15-15JA?

A: The CTV07RW-15-15JA operates from -65°C to 175°C, compared to the original part's -65°C to 200°C range. Applications requiring operation above 175°C cannot use this substitute. Verify application temperature requirements before selection.

Q: Do all substitute parts maintain MIL-DTL-38999 Series III compliance?

A: Yes. All listed substitute parts comply with MIL-DTL-38999 Series III specification. The CTV07RW series represents the Tri-Start™ TV variant within this specification framework, maintaining full compatibility with systems designed for Series III connectors.

Q: What is the inventory status of substitute parts?

A: CTV07RW-15-15JA has 1184 pieces in stock. CTV07RW-15-15BA has 964 pieces. CTV07RW-15-15JA-LC has 1073 pieces. CTV07RW-15-15SA-LC has 748 pieces. All substitute parts maintain active production status.

Q: Are there RoHS compliance differences between the original and substitute parts?

A: No. Both the ACT94MD15SA-3025 and all CTV07RW variants are RoHS non-compliant, consistent with aerospace and military connector specifications that require materials and finishes not permitted under RoHS directives.

Q: Can housing-only parts be used to repair or refurbish existing ACT94MD15SA-3025 connectors?

A: Housing-only variants (BA, JA-LC, SA-LC) can replace damaged connector shells if contacts are transferred or sourced separately. However, this approach requires contact compatibility verification and assembly expertise. Direct substitution with complete CTV07RW-15-15JA assemblies is the standard engineering approach.
