Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the ACT96MC35SB is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• Connector type: Plug with female sockets
• Position count: 22 positions
• Shell size: 13-35 insert size, MIL size C
• Mounting configuration: Free hanging (in-line)
• Termination method: Crimp
• Fastening: Threaded coupling
• Orientation: B
• Contact finish: Gold plating at 50.0µin (1.27µm) thickness
• Shielding: Shielded configuration
• Operating temperature range: -65°C to 200°C
• Ingress protection: Environment resistant
• MIL qualification: MIL-DTL-38999 Series III

All substitute parts listed maintain these parameters within the allowed specifications for direct functional replacement in aerospace and military applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

D38999/26FC35SB is the primary substitute for the ACT96MC35SB. This part maintains complete parameter equivalence across all critical specifications: 22-position configuration, 13-35 shell size with MIL size C designation, crimp termination, threaded fastening, B orientation, gold contact finish at 50.0µin thickness, shielded construction, and -65°C to 200°C operating range. The D38999/26FC35SB is manufactured by Amphenol Aerospace Operations under the Tri-Start™ TV series and holds active product status with ROHS3 compliance. Current inventory of 730 units supports immediate procurement.

CTVS06RF-13-35SB-LC serves as an alternative substitute with confirmed equivalence in mounting type, fastening, orientation, shielding, and operating temperature. This part is also manufactured by Amphenol Aerospace Operations and maintains active status with ROHS3 compliance. The CTVS06RF-13-35SB-LC includes a self-locking coupling nut feature and is available with 785 units in inventory.

CTVS06RF-13-35SB is available as a substitute option from Amphenol Aerospace Operations with 1026 units in stock. Limited technical specification data is provided for this part; verification of complete parameter alignment is necessary prior to selection.

All substitute parts are qualified to MIL-DTL-38999 Series III and support aerospace and military applications. The D38999/26FC35SB and CTVS06RF-13-35SB-LC are ROHS3 compliant, addressing environmental regulatory requirements not met by the original ACT96MC35SB.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the D38999/26FC35SB directly replace the ACT96MC35SB in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. The D38999/26FC35SB maintains equivalence across all critical parameters: 22-position configuration, 13-35 shell size, MIL size C, crimp termination, threaded fastening, B orientation, gold contact finish at 50.0µin thickness, shielded construction, and -65°C to 200°C operating temperature. Both parts are qualified to MIL-DTL-38999 Series III.

Q: What is the difference between the CTVS06RF-13-35SB and CTVS06RF-13-35SB-LC?

A: The CTVS06RF-13-35SB-LC includes a self-locking coupling nut feature and is specified as a plug housing for female sockets. The CTVS06RF-13-35SB is described as a plug with limited technical specification data provided. The CTVS06RF-13-35SB-LC provides more complete parameter documentation for aerospace and military applications.

Q: Are the substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: The D38999/26FC35SB and CTVS06RF-13-35SB-LC are ROHS3 compliant. The original ACT96MC35SB is RoHS non-compliant. Selection of ROHS3-compliant substitutes addresses environmental regulatory requirements for new designs and procurement.

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

A: The D38999/26FC35SB and CTVS06RF-13-35SB-LC both operate across -65°C to 200°C, matching the original ACT96MC35SB specification. This range supports aerospace and military applications across extreme environmental conditions.

Q: Are all substitute parts shielded?

A: The D38999/26FC35SB and CTVS06RF-13-35SB-LC are confirmed as shielded. The CTVS06RF-13-35SB shielding specification is not provided in available technical data.

Q: What is the contact finish specification for substitute parts?

A: The D38999/26FC35SB maintains gold contact finish at 50.0µin (1.27µm) thickness, identical to the ACT96MC35SB. Contact finish specifications for CTVS06RF-13-35SB and CTVS06RF-13-35SB-LC are not provided in available technical data.

Q: Which substitute part has the highest current inventory?

A: The CTVS06RF-13-35SB has the highest inventory with 1026 units in stock, followed by the ACT96MC35SB with 934 units, CTVS06RF-13-35SB-LC with 785 units, and D38999/26FC35SB with 730 units.

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

A: The D38999/26FC35SB and CTVS06RF-13-35SB-LC are explicitly qualified to MIL-DTL-38999 Series III. The CTVS06RF-13-35SB series designation is not specified in available technical data.
