ACT94WD35PA Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ACT94WD35PA is a 37-position circular connector receptacle manufactured by TE Connectivity Deutsch Connectors, designed for aerospace and military applications. This connector features male pins with crimp termination, panel mount configuration, and operates across the temperature range of -65°C to 175°C. The part is discontinued at DiGi Electronics, necessitating identification of functionally equivalent alternatives that maintain compatibility with existing system requirements while meeting the same electrical and mechanical specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the ACT94WD35PA is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Number of Positions: 37
• Shell Size - Insert: 15-35
• Series: MIL-DTL-38999 Series III
• Connector Type: Receptacle for Male Pins
• Mounting Type: Panel Mount
• Mounting Feature: Bulkhead - Front Side Nut
• Termination: Crimp
• Fastening Type: Threaded
• Orientation: A
• Shielding: Shielded
• Operating Temperature Range: -65°C ~ 175°C
• Current Rating: 5A
• Ingress Protection: Environment Resistant
• RoHS Status: RoHS non-compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)
• ECCN: EAR99

The substitute part CTV07RW-15-35AA meets all mandatory matching parameters and is therefore functionally equivalent for direct replacement in applications requiring the ACT94WD35PA.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The CTV07RW-15-35AA is a direct functional equivalent to the ACT94WD35PA based on compliance with MIL-DTL-38999 Series III specifications and matching of all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitute part is manufactured by Amphenol Aerospace Operations and maintains active product status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain reliability.

Both parts share identical compliance certifications including EAR99 export classification and RoHS non-compliant status, indicating suitability for the same regulatory environments. The operating temperature range of -65°C to 175°C is identical, confirming thermal compatibility in aerospace and military applications.

The CTV07RW-15-35AA is supplied as a receptacle housing without integrated contacts, whereas the ACT94WD35PA includes male pins. System designers must ensure that contact procurement and assembly procedures are aligned with this distinction when implementing the substitute part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the CTV07RW-15-35AA directly replace the ACT94WD35PA in existing assemblies?

A: The CTV07RW-15-35AA is functionally equivalent across all critical parameters including connector type, position count, shell size, mounting configuration, and operating temperature range. However, the substitute is supplied as a housing without integrated contacts, requiring separate procurement and installation of crimp contacts compatible with the 37-position, 15-35 shell size configuration.

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

A: The primary differences are manufacturer (TE Connectivity Deutsch Connectors versus Amphenol Aerospace Operations) and product status (discontinued versus active). The ACT94WD35PA includes male pins, while the CTV07RW-15-35AA is supplied as a housing only. Both conform to MIL-DTL-38999 Series III specifications and share identical electrical and mechanical characteristics.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences?

A: Both parts carry identical compliance designations: EAR99 export classification, RoHS non-compliant status, and Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited). No compliance barriers exist for substitution.

Q: What is the significance of the shell size designation 15-35?

A: The shell size 15-35 designation indicates the insert size and shell diameter compatibility. This parameter must match exactly for mechanical fit and electrical performance. Both the ACT94WD35PA and CTV07RW-15-35AA share this specification.

Q: Does the operating temperature range differ between these parts?

A: No. Both parts operate across the identical temperature range of -65°C to 175°C, confirming thermal compatibility for aerospace and military applications.

Q: What is the inventory status of these parts?

A: The ACT94WD35PA has 659 pieces in stock but is discontinued at DiGi Electronics. The CTV07RW-15-35AA has 1072 pieces in stock and maintains active product status, providing superior long-term availability.

Q: Are the contact finish specifications equivalent?

A: The ACT94WD35PA specifies gold contact finish with 50.0µin (1.27µm) thickness. The CTV07RW-15-35AA is supplied as a housing without contacts. When sourcing replacement contacts for the CTV07RW-15-35AA, ensure specifications match the original gold-plated contact requirements.
