Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the ACT96MC35PA is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• 22-position connector configuration
• Shell size 13-35 (MIL Size C)
• Male pin plug connector type
• Crimp termination method
• Threaded fastening
• Orientation A
• Shielded construction
• Composite shell material
• Gold contact finish with 50.0µin thickness
• Copper alloy contact material
• Thermoplastic insert material
• Operating temperature range -65°C ~ 200°C
• Aerospace and military application suitability

The substitute parts listed maintain these core electrical and mechanical parameters, ensuring functional compatibility in replacement scenarios. Variations in manufacturer, shell finish specification (electroless nickel versus nickel), and product status (active versus discontinued) do not affect substitution eligibility when all primary criteria are satisfied.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

CTVS06RF-13-35PA-506 (Amphenol Aerospace Operations)

This substitute provides the most complete parameter alignment with the ACT96MC35PA. All critical electrical and mechanical specifications match, including 22-position configuration, 13-35 shell size, crimp termination, and operating temperature range. The part is currently active in production, ensuring availability for procurement. ROHS3 compliance status provides regulatory advantage over the discontinued original part. The connector includes self-locking coupling nut features and is qualified for aviation, marine, and military applications.

D38999/26WC35PA (Glenair)

This substitute maintains MIL-DTL-38999 series compatibility and is active in production with substantial inventory availability (20,299 pieces). The part satisfies core substitution criteria for aerospace and military applications. REACH unaffected status confirms regulatory compliance for European markets.

D38999/26FC35PA (Glenair)

This substitute is active in production with adequate inventory (779 pieces) and maintains MIL-DTL-38999 series compatibility. REACH unaffected status confirms regulatory compliance. Suitable for aerospace and military applications requiring MIL-standard circular connectors.

CTVS06RF-13-35PA (Amphenol Aerospace Operations)

This substitute is active in production with inventory availability (876 pieces). Limited detailed specifications are provided in the input data; however, the part number designation indicates compatibility with the 13-35 shell size and 22-position configuration. Verification of complete parameter alignment is necessary prior to procurement.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the CTVS06RF-13-35PA-506 directly replace the ACT96MC35PA in existing assemblies?

A: The CTVS06RF-13-35PA-506 maintains all critical parameters specified for the ACT96MC35PA, including 22-position configuration, 13-35 shell size, crimp termination, threaded fastening, and operating temperature range. Physical form factor and mating interface compatibility are determined by these shared specifications. Integration into existing assemblies is supported by parameter equivalence.

Q: What is the difference between the Glenair D38999/26WC35PA and D38999/26FC35PA substitutes?

A: Both parts are Glenair-manufactured MIL-DTL-38999 series circular connectors with active production status. The input data does not provide detailed specifications distinguishing these two part numbers. Selection between these alternatives should be based on specific application requirements and availability.

Q: Does the CTVS06RF-13-35PA-506 RoHS3 compliance affect compatibility with the original ACT96MC35PA?

A: RoHS3 compliance represents a regulatory and environmental advantage over the RoHS non-compliant original part. Compliance status does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility. The substitute is suitable for applications requiring RoHS-compliant components.

Q: Are all substitute parts qualified for the same aerospace and military applications as the ACT96MC35PA?

A: The CTVS06RF-13-35PA-506 is qualified for aviation, marine, and military applications. The Glenair substitutes (D38999/26WC35PA and D38999/26FC35PA) are designated for aerospace and military applications. Application-specific qualification requirements should be verified against system documentation.

Q: What is the current availability status of these substitute parts?

A: CTVS06RF-13-35PA-506 (874 pieces), D38999/26WC35PA (20,299 pieces), D38999/26FC35PA (779 pieces), and CTVS06RF-13-35PA (876 pieces) are all listed as active in production with inventory availability. The original ACT96MC35PA is discontinued at DiGi Electronics with 748 pieces in stock.

Q: Do the substitute parts maintain the same current rating as the ACT96MC35PA?

A: The ACT96MC35PA specifies a 5A current rating. The CTVS06RF-13-35PA-506 does not specify a current rating in the provided data. Current rating verification is necessary for applications with defined electrical load requirements.

Q: What packaging options are available for these substitute parts?

A: CTVS06RF-13-35PA-506, D38999/26WC35PA, D38999/26FC35PA, and CTVS06RF-13-35PA are supplied in bulk packaging. The original ACT96MC35PA packaging specification is not provided in the input data.
