Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the ACT94MD19SA is determined by strict adherence to the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Number of Positions: 19
• Shell Size - Insert: 15-19
• Connector Type: Receptacle with Female Sockets
• Mounting Type: Panel Mount
• Mounting Feature: Bulkhead - Front Side Nut
• Fastening Type: Threaded
• Orientation: A
• Shielding: Shielded
• Termination: Crimp
• Series Compliance: MIL-DTL-38999 Series III

Compatible Substitute:

The CTV07RW-15-19BA manufactured by Amphenol Aerospace Operations satisfies all mandatory matching parameters. This substitute is a 19-position circular connector receptacle housing designed for panel mount applications with bulkhead front side nut fastening. Both connectors operate within the MIL-DTL-38999 Series III specification framework and maintain identical mechanical and electrical interface requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The CTV07RW-15-19BA serves as a direct functional equivalent for the discontinued ACT94MD19SA based on the following engineering criteria:

Mechanical Compatibility: Both connectors maintain identical 19-position configuration, shell size (15-19), panel mount orientation, and threaded bulkhead fastening. The mechanical interface is fully compatible for system integration.

Electrical Compliance: Both connectors operate within MIL-DTL-38999 Series III specifications, ensuring electrical interface compatibility. Shielding configuration and crimp termination methodology are identical.

Regulatory and Compliance Status: Both parts carry EAR99 ECCN classification and maintain identical Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL 1). Both are RoHS non-compliant, consistent with aerospace and military application requirements.

Operational Differences: The substitute part operates at a maximum temperature of 175°C compared to the main part's 200°C upper limit. Shell finish differs (cadmium versus nickel). The substitute is currently in active production status, ensuring supply chain availability.

Product Availability: The CTV07RW-15-19BA is actively manufactured and stocked (829 pieces in inventory), providing immediate availability for replacement or new system integration where the ACT94MD19SA is no longer obtainable.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the CTV07RW-15-19BA directly replace the ACT94MD19SA in existing assemblies?

A: The CTV07RW-15-19BA is mechanically and electrically compatible for panel mount applications requiring a 19-position shielded circular connector receptacle with crimp termination. Both connectors conform to MIL-DTL-38999 Series III specifications and maintain identical mounting interfaces. System designers must evaluate the 25°C reduction in maximum operating temperature (175°C versus 200°C) for thermal margin requirements.

Q: What are the key differences between these two connectors?

A: The primary differences are: (1) Manufacturer—TE Connectivity Deutsch Connectors versus Amphenol Aerospace Operations; (2) Shell finish—Nickel versus Cadmium; (3) Maximum operating temperature—200°C versus 175°C; (4) Product status—Discontinued versus Active production. All other critical parameters including position count, shell size, mounting configuration, shielding, and termination method are identical.

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns with shell finish differences?

A: The shell finish difference (nickel versus cadmium) does not affect mechanical or electrical interface compatibility. Both finishes provide corrosion resistance suitable for aerospace and military applications. Material selection should be evaluated based on specific environmental exposure and system requirements.

Q: Does the substitute part include contacts?

A: The CTV07RW-15-19BA is supplied as a receptacle housing without contacts included. Contacts must be sourced separately and crimped according to MIL-DTL-38999 Series III specifications. The ACT94MD19SA specification similarly addresses the receptacle housing component.

Q: What is the inventory status for the substitute part?

A: The CTV07RW-15-19BA is actively manufactured with 829 pieces currently in stock as new original inventory. The ACT94MD19SA is discontinued at DiGi Electronics with 744 pieces remaining in stock.

Q: Are both connectors suitable for aerospace and military applications?

A: Both connectors are specified for aerospace and military applications and comply with MIL-DTL-38999 Series III standards. Both maintain EAR99 ECCN classification and identical Moisture Sensitivity Level ratings, confirming suitability for regulated defense and aerospace system integration.

Q: What termination method is used for both connectors?

A: Both connectors utilize crimp termination for contact attachment. Crimp tooling and contact specifications must conform to MIL-DTL-38999 Series III requirements for both the main part and substitute.
