• Receptacle, female socket connector type
• Panel mount with bulkhead front-side nut fastening
• Crimp termination method
• Threaded fastening
• Normal (N) orientation
• Composite shell material with olive drab cadmium finish
• Gold contact finish for mating surfaces
• Shielded configuration
• Operating temperature range -65°C to 175°C
• Copper alloy contact material
• Thermoplastic insert material
• Environment resistant ingress protection
• RoHS non-compliant status
• MSL rating 1 (Unlimited)

Substitute parts must satisfy all critical parameters to ensure mechanical fit, electrical performance, and environmental compliance within the original application context.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

CTV07RW-15-35JN is the primary substitute for ACT94WD35SN. This part maintains complete electrical and mechanical compatibility through identical 37-position configuration, MIL-DTL-38999 Series III qualification, shell size 15-35, panel mount bulkhead fastening, crimp termination, and operating temperature range. The CTV07RW-15-35JN is manufactured by Amphenol Aerospace Operations and carries active product status with 1181 units in inventory. Contact finish thickness is specified at 100.0µin (2.54µm) compared to the original 50.0µin (1.27µm), providing enhanced contact durability. This part is qualified for aviation, marine, and military applications.

CTV07RW-15-35B and CTV07RW-15-35JN-LC are receptacle housing alternatives without integrated female sockets. These parts are suitable only when contacts are procured separately and assembled independently. Both maintain the 37-position, shell size 15-35, panel mount configuration, and operating temperature specifications. CTV07RW-15-35B contains 697 units in inventory, while CTV07RW-15-35JN-LC contains 751 units.

All substitute parts maintain RoHS non-compliant status and MSL rating 1 (Unlimited), consistent with the original part specification. Selection should prioritize CTV07RW-15-35JN for direct replacement applications requiring complete female socket receptacles.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CTV07RW-15-35B be used as a direct replacement for ACT94WD35SN?

A: CTV07RW-15-35B is a receptacle housing without integrated female sockets. It requires separate contact procurement and assembly. Use this part only when your application permits independent contact sourcing and installation. For direct replacement requiring complete female socket integration, use CTV07RW-15-35JN.

Q: What is the difference between CTV07RW-15-35JN and CTV07RW-15-35JN-LC?

A: CTV07RW-15-35JN is a complete receptacle with female sockets and crimp termination. CTV07RW-15-35JN-LC is a receptacle housing without integrated contacts. Both share identical shell size, mounting configuration, and operating temperature specifications. Select CTV07RW-15-35JN for applications requiring complete connector assemblies.

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

A: Yes. All substitute parts listed carry MIL-DTL-38999 Series III qualification, ensuring compliance with military circular connector standards. This qualification is maintained across all three substitute options.

Q: Does the contact finish thickness difference affect compatibility?

A: CTV07RW-15-35JN specifies 100.0µin (2.54µm) gold contact finish thickness compared to ACT94WD35SN at 50.0µin (1.27µm). Both finishes meet MIL-DTL-38999 Series III requirements. The increased thickness on the substitute part provides extended contact life and improved wear resistance without affecting electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Q: What is the current inventory status for substitute parts?

A: CTV07RW-15-35JN maintains the highest inventory at 1181 units. CTV07RW-15-35JN-LC contains 751 units, and CTV07RW-15-35B contains 697 units. All parts are listed as active products with immediate availability.

Q: Are substitute parts suitable for aerospace and military applications?

A: Yes. CTV07RW-15-35JN is qualified for aviation, marine, and military applications. CTV07RW-15-35B and CTV07RW-15-35JN-LC maintain MIL-DTL-38999 Series III qualification for military applications. All parts maintain environment resistant ingress protection and RoHS non-compliant status consistent with aerospace and military standards.

Q: Can I mix components from different substitute parts in a single assembly?

A: No. Each substitute part is a complete assembly unit. Do not combine housing from one part with contacts from another. Select a single part number for your complete connector requirement.
