Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can TV06RW-11-35S be used as a direct replacement for ACT96MB35SN?
A: TV06RW-11-35S meets all primary electrical and mechanical substitution criteria: 13-position plug with female sockets, 11-35 shell size, crimp termination, threaded fastening, shielded construction, gold contact finish, and copper alloy contacts. The operating temperature range is -65°C to 175°C, which covers the minimum specification but does not extend to 200°C. Selection depends on whether the application requires the full 200°C upper temperature limit.
Q: What is the difference between D38999/26KB35SN and TV06RW-11-35S?
A: Both parts are 13-position plugs with female sockets, 11-35 shell size, crimp termination, and gold contact finish. D38999/26KB35SN operates from -65°C to 200°C and is ROHS3 compliant, manufactured by Conesys. TV06RW-11-35S operates from -65°C to 175°C and is RoHS non-compliant, manufactured by Amphenol Aerospace Operations. Selection between these parts depends on temperature requirements and RoHS compliance mandates.
Q: Is D38999/26WB35SNLC a complete substitute?
A: D38999/26WB35SNLC is a plug housing component for 13-position female sockets with 11-35 shell size. This part does not include contacts and is suitable only for applications requiring housing replacement. It is not a complete connector substitute.
Q: What does "11-35" shell size mean?
A: The 11-35 designation refers to the insert size and shell size of the circular connector. This specification is standardized under MIL-DTL-38999 and determines physical compatibility with mating connectors. All listed substitutes maintain the 11-35 shell size specification.
Q: Are all substitute parts suitable for aerospace and military applications?
A: All substitute parts listed carry aerospace and military application designations. All parts are MIL-DTL-38999 Series III compliant or equivalent. Verify specific application requirements and any additional qualification standards mandated by the end-use system.
Q: What is the significance of the 50.0µin (1.27µm) contact finish thickness?
A: The 50.0µin (1.27µm) gold plating thickness on mating contacts is a critical specification for electrical performance and corrosion resistance. All primary substitute parts maintain this specification, ensuring equivalent electrical characteristics and long-term reliability in aerospace and military environments.
Q: Can I use a substitute part with a lower operating temperature maximum?
A: TV06RW-11-35S and D38999/26WB35SNLC have maximum operating temperatures of 175°C, compared to 200°C for the ACT96MB35SN. Use these parts only if the application does not require operation above 175°C. D38999/26KB35SN maintains the full -65°C to 200°C range.
Q: What is the difference between crimp and other termination methods?
A: Crimp termination uses mechanical pressure to attach wire conductors to connector contacts without solder. All listed substitutes use crimp termination, maintaining compatibility with existing cable assemblies and installation procedures.
Q: Are there RoHS-compliant alternatives?
A: D38999/26KB35SN is ROHS3 compliant and meets all primary substitution criteria for the ACT96MB35SN. This part is the only listed substitute with current RoHS3 compliance status.
Q: What does "shielded" construction provide?
A: Shielded construction includes electromagnetic interference (EMI) protection through conductive shielding. All listed substitutes maintain shielded construction, preserving signal integrity in aerospace and military applications where EMI protection is critical.
