Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitutes (Full Parameter Equivalence):

The D38999/26FC35SN and D38999/26MC35SN from Amphenol Aerospace Operations are direct functional equivalents to the ACT96MC35SN-3025. Both parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters: 22-position configuration, 13-35 shell size, MIL-DTL-38999 Series III qualification, crimp termination, threaded fastening, and -65°C to 200°C operating temperature range. Both parts are currently active in production with higher inventory availability (20,099 and 1,132 units respectively) compared to the discontinued ACT96MC35SN-3025.

The D38999/26FC35SN features an aluminum shell with electroless nickel finish and includes coupling nut features. The D38999/26MC35SN features a composite shell with electroless nickel finish and coupling nut features. Both are ROHS3 compliant and REACH affected, providing enhanced regulatory compliance compared to the original part.

Secondary Substitute (Partial Parameter Data):

The CTVS06RF-13-35S from Amphenol Aerospace Operations shares the 13-35 shell size designation and plug configuration. However, complete electrical and mechanical parameter data is not provided for this part. This part is listed as active in production with 837 units in inventory.

Selection Criteria:

For applications requiring direct replacement with full parameter documentation, D38999/26FC35SN or D38999/26MC35SN are the appropriate selections. The choice between these two depends on shell material requirements: aluminum construction (D38999/26FC35SN) or composite construction (D38999/26MC35SN). Both maintain the same electrical performance, temperature rating, and MIL qualification.

For applications where regulatory compliance is a requirement, D38999/26FC35SN and D38999/26MC35SN provide ROHS3 compliance and REACH compliance status, whereas the original ACT96MC35SN-3025 is RoHS non-compliant.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the D38999/26FC35SN directly replace the ACT96MC35SN-3025?

A: Yes. The D38999/26FC35SN maintains identical specifications across all critical parameters: 22-position female socket plug, 13-35 shell size, MIL-DTL-38999 Series III qualification, crimp termination, threaded fastening, gold-plated contacts, shielded construction, and -65°C to 200°C operating temperature. The part is currently active in production with 20,099 units in inventory.

Q: What is the difference between D38999/26FC35SN and D38999/26MC35SN?

A: Both parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent. The primary difference is shell material composition: D38999/26FC35SN uses aluminum shell construction, while D38999/26MC35SN uses composite shell construction. Both feature electroless nickel finish, coupling nut features, and identical electrical specifications. Selection depends on application-specific material requirements.

Q: Are the substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both D38999/26FC35SN and D38999/26MC35SN are ROHS3 compliant, whereas the original ACT96MC35SN-3025 is RoHS non-compliant. This provides enhanced regulatory compliance for new designs and procurement workflows.

Q: What is the inventory status of substitute parts?

A: D38999/26FC35SN has 20,099 units in stock. D38999/26MC35SN has 1,132 units in stock. CTVS06RF-13-35S has 837 units in stock. The original ACT96MC35SN-3025 has 700 units in stock but is discontinued at DiGi Electronics.

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

A: The original ACT96MC35SN-3025 specifies a 5A current rating. The D38999/26FC35SN and D38999/26MC35SN do not provide explicit current rating specifications in available documentation. For applications where current rating is a critical parameter, contact the manufacturer for detailed electrical specifications.

Q: Are the substitute parts qualified to the same MIL standard?

A: Yes. Both D38999/26FC35SN and D38999/26MC35SN are qualified to MIL-DTL-38999 Series III, identical to the original ACT96MC35SN-3025. Both parts are military-grade connectors suitable for aerospace and military applications.

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

A: Both D38999/26FC35SN and D38999/26MC35SN operate across the same temperature range as the original part: -65°C to 200°C. This maintains full thermal compatibility for existing applications.

Q: Can CTVS06RF-13-35S be used as a substitute?

A: CTVS06RF-13-35S shares the 13-35 shell size designation and plug configuration. However, complete electrical and mechanical parameter specifications are not provided for this part. Full compatibility cannot be confirmed without additional technical documentation. For applications requiring documented equivalence, D38999/26FC35SN or D38999/26MC35SN are the recommended selections.
