Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the ACT94WD15SA is determined by strict adherence to the following parameters:

Critical Compatibility Parameters:

• 15-position configuration with 15-15 shell size
• Receptacle connector type with female sockets
• Panel mount with bulkhead front side nut fastening
• Crimp termination method
• Shielded construction
• Composite shell material with olive drab cadmium finish
• Gold contact finish on mating surfaces
• Operating temperature range of -65°C to 175°C
• MIL-DTL-38999 Series III compliance

The substitute parts identified are from the Amphenol Aerospace Operations CTV07RW series, which maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. Two distinct substitute categories exist:

Category 1: Complete Receptacle Assemblies with Integrated Contacts

• CTV07RW-15-15JA: Full receptacle assembly with female sockets and crimp contacts included

Category 2: Receptacle Housing Only (Contacts Not Included)

• CTV07RW-15-15BA
• CTV07RW-15-15JA-LC
• CTV07RW-15-15SA-LC

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitute: CTV07RW-15-15JA

The CTV07RW-15-15JA is the direct functional equivalent to the ACT94WD15SA. This part maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters including 15-position configuration, female socket receptacle type, panel mount bulkhead fastening, crimp termination, composite shell construction, olive drab cadmium finish, gold contact finish, shielded design, and -65°C to 175°C operating temperature range. The CTV07RW-15-15JA is currently active in production with 1184 units in stock, providing supply continuity for applications previously using the discontinued ACT94WD15SA. Both parts comply with MIL-DTL-38999 Series III specifications and share identical RoHS non-compliant and MSL 1 ratings.

Alternative Substitutes: CTV07RW-15-15BA, CTV07RW-15-15JA-LC, CTV07RW-15-15SA-LC

These three parts are receptacle housings without integrated contacts. Selection of these alternatives requires procurement of compatible crimp contacts separately. These options are suitable only when contact replacement or system redesign is feasible. All three maintain the same shell size, mounting configuration, shielding, operating temperature, and MIL-DTL-38999 Series III compliance as the original part. Current inventory availability is 964 units (CTV07RW-15-15BA), 1073 units (CTV07RW-15-15JA-LC), and 748 units (CTV07RW-15-15SA-LC).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CTV07RW-15-15JA be used as a direct replacement for ACT94WD15SA?

A: Yes. The CTV07RW-15-15JA maintains all critical parameters: 15-position configuration, female socket receptacle type, panel mount bulkhead fastening, crimp termination, composite shell with olive drab cadmium finish, gold contact finish, shielded construction, and -65°C to 175°C operating temperature. Both comply with MIL-DTL-38999 Series III specifications.

Q: What is the difference between CTV07RW-15-15JA and the housing-only alternatives?

A: The CTV07RW-15-15JA includes integrated female socket contacts with gold finish. The CTV07RW-15-15BA, CTV07RW-15-15JA-LC, and CTV07RW-15-15SA-LC are receptacle housings only and require separate contact procurement. Selection depends on whether existing contacts can be reused or new contacts must be sourced.

Q: Are all substitute parts MIL-DTL-38999 Series III compliant?

A: Yes. All identified substitutes (CTV07RW-15-15JA, CTV07RW-15-15BA, CTV07RW-15-15JA-LC, CTV07RW-15-15SA-LC) comply with MIL-DTL-38999 Series III specifications, maintaining compatibility with aerospace and military applications.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for substitute parts?

A: All substitute parts operate across the same temperature range as the original ACT94WD15SA: -65°C to 175°C.

Q: Are substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: No. All substitute parts maintain the same RoHS non-compliant status as the original ACT94WD15SA, consistent with MIL-DTL-38999 Series III military specifications.

Q: What is the contact finish thickness difference between ACT94WD15SA and CTV07RW-15-15JA?

A: The ACT94WD15SA specifies 50.0µin (1.27µm) gold contact finish thickness, while CTV07RW-15-15JA specifies 100.0µin (2.54µm). Both finishes meet MIL-DTL-38999 Series III requirements for gold-plated mating surfaces.

Q: What is the MSL rating for all parts?

A: All parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, indicating no moisture sensitivity limitations for storage or handling.

Q: Are substitute parts currently in production?

A: Yes. All substitute parts are active products. The CTV07RW-15-15JA has 1184 units in stock, CTV07RW-15-15BA has 964 units, CTV07RW-15-15JA-LC has 1073 units, and CTV07RW-15-15SA-LC has 748 units available.
