• Number of positions: 15
• Shell size - insert: 15-15
• Connector type: Receptacle with female sockets
• Mounting type: Panel mount with bulkhead front-side nut
• Termination method: Crimp
• Fastening type: Threaded
• Orientation: N (Normal)
• Shell material: Composite
• Contact finish: Gold
• Shielding: Shielded
• Operating temperature range: -65°C ~ 175°C
• Contact material: Copper alloy
• Insert material: Thermoplastic
• Ingress protection: Environment resistant

The substitute parts identified (CTV07RW-15-15B, CTV07RW-15-15JN, CTV07RW-15-15JN-LC) are manufactured by Amphenol Aerospace Operations under the MIL-DTL-38999 Series III Tri-Start™ TV series. These components satisfy all mandatory matching parameters and maintain functional equivalence with the discontinued ACT94WD15SN.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

CTV07RW-15-15JN is the primary equivalent substitute for the ACT94WD15SN. This part maintains complete functional compatibility across all critical parameters: 15-position configuration, MIL-DTL-38999 Series III compliance, panel mount bulkhead installation, crimp termination, composite shell with olive drab cadmium finish, gold contact finish, shielded design, and identical operating temperature range. The CTV07RW-15-15JN is manufactured by Amphenol Aerospace Operations and maintains active product status with 796 pieces in stock inventory.

CTV07RW-15-15B and CTV07RW-15-15JN-LC are receptacle housing alternatives. These components are supplied without contacts included and are designated as receptacle housings for female sockets. Selection of housing-only variants requires separate procurement of compatible crimp contacts. Both housing alternatives maintain the same shell size, mounting configuration, and operating temperature specifications as the main part.

All three substitute parts comply with EAR99 export classification, maintain MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, and are RoHS non-compliant, consistent with the original ACT94WD15SN specification. The active product status of all Amphenol Aerospace alternatives ensures continued availability and supply chain stability for aerospace and military applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CTV07RW-15-15B or CTV07RW-15-15JN-LC be used as direct replacements for ACT94WD15SN?

A: CTV07RW-15-15B and CTV07RW-15-15JN-LC are receptacle housings supplied without contacts. Direct substitution requires separate procurement and installation of compatible crimp contacts. CTV07RW-15-15JN is the complete receptacle assembly with female sockets and is the direct equivalent.

Q: What is the difference between CTV07RW-15-15JN and CTV07RW-15-15B?

A: CTV07RW-15-15JN is a complete receptacle assembly with female sockets and gold contact finish. CTV07RW-15-15B is a receptacle housing only, without contacts included. Both share identical shell size, mounting configuration, and operating temperature range.

Q: Are the Amphenol Aerospace CTV07RW series connectors compatible with the TE Connectivity Deutsch ACT94 series?

A: Yes. Both series comply with MIL-DTL-38999 Series III specification. The 15-position shell size (15-15), panel mount bulkhead configuration, crimp termination, composite shell material, and operating temperature range are identical across both manufacturers' products.

Q: What is the contact finish thickness difference between ACT94WD15SN and CTV07RW-15-15JN?

A: ACT94WD15SN specifies 50.0µin (1.27µm) gold contact finish thickness. CTV07RW-15-15JN specifies 100.0µin (2.54µm) gold contact finish thickness. Both exceed minimum MIL-DTL-38999 Series III requirements.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: No. ACT94WD15SN and all identified substitute parts (CTV07RW-15-15B, CTV07RW-15-15JN, CTV07RW-15-15JN-LC) are RoHS non-compliant. This specification is consistent across all alternatives.

Q: What is the current rating for the substitute parts?

A: Current rating is not specified in the technical data for CTV07RW-15-15B and CTV07RW-15-15JN-LC. ACT94WD15SN specifies 7.5A and 13A current ratings. CTV07RW-15-15JN does not specify current rating in the provided data.

Q: Can CTV07RW-15-15JN-LC be used with the same contacts as ACT94WD15SN?

A: CTV07RW-15-15JN-LC is a housing-only component. Contact compatibility depends on contact specifications not provided in the available data. Consult manufacturer documentation for compatible contact part numbers.

Q: What is the inventory status for substitute parts?

A: CTV07RW-15-15B has 760 pieces in stock. CTV07RW-15-15JN has 796 pieces in stock. CTV07RW-15-15JN-LC has 1045 pieces in stock. All are classified as new original inventory.
