Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the ACT94WD15SA-3025 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

  • Connector type: Receptacle with female sockets
  • Position count: 15 positions
  • Shell size: 15-15 insert designation
  • Mounting configuration: Panel mount with bulkhead front side nut
  • Termination method: Crimp
  • Fastening: Threaded
  • Orientation: A
  • Shell material: Composite
  • Shielding: Shielded
  • Operating temperature range: -65°C to 175°C
  • Series compliance: MIL-DTL-38999 Series III

Substitute Classification:

The substitute parts are divided into two functional categories based on connector type:

  1. Complete Receptacle Assemblies (Female Sockets Included): CTV07RW-15-15JA provides a fully assembled 15-position receptacle with integrated female sockets and gold-plated mating contacts, directly equivalent to the main part.

  2. Receptacle Housing Assemblies (Contacts Not Included): CTV07RW-15-15BA, CTV07RW-15-15JA-LC, and CTV07RW-15-15SA-LC provide receptacle housings without integrated contacts. These are suitable for applications where contacts are supplied separately or where housing replacement is required independently.

All substitute parts are manufactured by Amphenol Aerospace Operations within the MIL-DTL-38999 Series III Tri-Start™ TV product line and maintain mechanical and electrical compatibility with the original part.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct Replacement (Complete Assembly):

The CTV07RW-15-15JA is the primary substitute for the ACT94WD15SA-3025. Both parts are complete receptacle assemblies with integrated female sockets and gold-plated mating contacts. The CTV07RW-15-15JA is manufactured by Amphenol Aerospace Operations and maintains active product status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain reliability. Both parts conform to MIL-DTL-38999 Series III specifications and share identical mechanical mounting, electrical termination, and environmental operating parameters.

Housing-Only Alternatives:

The CTV07RW-15-15BA, CTV07RW-15-15JA-LC, and CTV07RW-15-15SA-LC are receptacle housings supplied without integrated contacts. These parts are suitable for applications where:

  • Replacement of the connector housing is required while retaining existing contacts
  • Contacts are sourced and installed separately
  • System design specifies modular contact assembly

All three housing variants are mechanically and electrically compatible with the original part's mounting and fastening requirements.

Compliance Considerations:

All substitute parts maintain RoHS non-compliant status consistent with the original part, reflecting the military and aerospace application requirements. Moisture sensitivity level remains at MSL 1 (Unlimited) across all alternatives, indicating no special handling or storage requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the CTV07RW-15-15JA directly replace the ACT94WD15SA-3025 in existing applications?

A: Yes. The CTV07RW-15-15JA is a complete receptacle assembly with female sockets and gold-plated mating contacts. It maintains identical mechanical mounting (panel mount, bulkhead front side nut), electrical termination (crimp), position count (15), shell size (15-15), and operating temperature range (-65°C to 175°C). Both parts conform to MIL-DTL-38999 Series III specifications.

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 includes integrated female sockets with gold-plated mating contacts. The housing-only variants (CTV07RW-15-15BA, CTV07RW-15-15JA-LC, CTV07RW-15-15SA-LC) provide the receptacle housing structure only, with contacts supplied separately. Housing-only parts are suitable for applications requiring housing replacement independent of contact assembly.

Q: Are all substitute parts compatible with the same mating connectors as the original ACT94WD15SA-3025?

A: Yes. All substitute parts maintain the same shell size (15-15), position count (15), orientation (A), and MIL-DTL-38999 Series III compliance. Mechanical and electrical mating compatibility is preserved across all alternatives.

Q: Why is the ACT94WD15SA-3025 discontinued?

A: The ACT94WD15SA-3025 is discontinued at DiGi Electronics. Active equivalent products from Amphenol Aerospace Operations within the MIL-DTL-38999 Series III Tri-Start™ TV product line provide continued availability and supply chain support.

Q: Do the substitute parts require any special handling or storage?

A: No. All substitute parts maintain Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited), identical to the original part. No special moisture control or storage conditions are required.

Q: What is the contact size specification for the housing-only variants?

A: The housing-only variants (CTV07RW-15-15BA, CTV07RW-15-15JA-LC, CTV07RW-15-15SA-LC) accommodate contact sizes 16 (1 position) and 20 (14 positions), consistent with the 15-position configuration.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: No. All substitute parts, including the original ACT94WD15SA-3025, are RoHS non-compliant. This status reflects military and aerospace application requirements where cadmium plating and other materials specified in MIL-DTL-38999 Series III take precedence over commercial RoHS restrictions.
