The substitute parts listed (CTV07RW-15-18BA, CTV07RW-15-18JA-LC, CTV07RW-15-18SA-LC) are manufactured by Amphenol Aerospace Operations under the MIL-DTL-38999 Series III Tri-Start™ TV series. These components are receptacle housings designed for female sockets and maintain dimensional and functional compatibility with the original ACT94WD18SA specification. All substitute parts are currently active products with available inventory.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The ACT94WD18SA is discontinued, making the Amphenol Aerospace Operations CTV07RW series substitutes the appropriate alternatives for ongoing applications. All three substitute parts (CTV07RW-15-18BA, CTV07RW-15-18JA-LC, CTV07RW-15-18SA-LC) are currently active products with confirmed inventory availability.

Selection Basis:

All substitute parts maintain compliance with MIL-DTL-38999 Series III specifications and share identical mechanical and electrical parameters with the original component. The substitutes are receptacle housings designed for female sockets, ensuring compatibility with existing mating connectors and cable assemblies.

The Amphenol Aerospace Operations CTV07RW series components carry the same RoHS non-compliant status and Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited) classification as the original ACT94WD18SA, ensuring consistency in procurement and application requirements.

All substitute parts are classified under ECCN EAR99 and maintain the same environmental resistance and shielding characteristics required for aerospace and military applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Amphenol CTV07RW-15-18BA substitute directly for the TE Connectivity ACT94WD18SA?

A: The CTV07RW-15-18BA is a receptacle housing for female sockets that maintains dimensional and functional compatibility with the ACT94WD18SA. Both components share identical 18-position configuration, shell size 15-18, panel mount bulkhead fastening, and operating temperature specifications. The substitute is suitable for applications requiring equivalent MIL-DTL-38999 Series III compliance.

Q: What is the difference between the three Amphenol substitute part numbers?

A: The three substitute parts (CTV07RW-15-18BA, CTV07RW-15-18JA-LC, CTV07RW-15-18SA-LC) are all receptacle housings within the Amphenol Tri-Start™ TV series. The part number suffixes indicate different shell finish or configuration variants. All three maintain the same 18-position, shell size 15-18, panel mount specifications and operating temperature range.

Q: Are the substitute parts available in the same packaging as the original ACT94WD18SA?

A: The substitute parts are supplied in bulk packaging. Current inventory levels are: CTV07RW-15-18BA (1035 pcs), CTV07RW-15-18JA-LC (751 pcs), and CTV07RW-15-18SA-LC (827 pcs).

Q: Do the substitute parts include contacts?

A: The Amphenol CTV07RW series substitute parts are receptacle housings supplied without contacts. Contacts must be procured separately and crimped according to MIL-DTL-38999 Series III specifications.

Q: Are the substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: No. The substitute parts maintain the same RoHS non-compliant status as the original ACT94WD18SA, consistent with MIL-DTL-38999 Series III aerospace and military connector specifications.

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

A: All substitute parts operate across the temperature range of -65°C to 175°C, matching the original ACT94WD18SA specification.

Q: Are the substitute parts shielded?

A: Yes. All three Amphenol CTV07RW substitute parts feature shielded construction with environment resistant ingress protection, equivalent to the original component.
