Engineering Selection Recommendations

D38999/26FF35PN (Glenair)

This substitute maintains MIL-DTL-38999 series compliance and is currently in active production status. The part is available in bulk packaging with 1122 units in stock. It carries the same ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS classification as the original part, supporting equivalent regulatory and export compliance requirements. The moisture sensitivity level matches the original specification at MSL 1 (Unlimited). REACH status is unaffected, indicating no restricted substances of concern.

D38999/26WF35PN (Souriau-Sunbank by Eaton)

This substitute also maintains MIL-DTL-38999 series compliance and is in active production. The part is available in bulk packaging with 1103 units in stock. It carries identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS classification. The RoHS non-compliant status aligns with the original part specification. REACH status is unaffected. Moisture sensitivity level is listed as Not Applicable, indicating different material composition or environmental handling requirements compared to the original part.

Both substitute parts share the same tariff classification and export control designation as the ACT96MF35PN, supporting seamless integration into existing procurement and compliance workflows.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What determines whether a part can substitute for the ACT96MF35PN?

A: Substitution is based on matching the following parameters: 66-position connector configuration, plug type with male pins, MIL-DTL-38999 series compliance, crimp termination, threaded fastening, gold contact finish, 5A current rating, -65°C to 200°C operating temperature range, and shielded construction. All listed substitutes meet these criteria.

Q: Are the substitute parts pin-compatible with the ACT96MF35PN?

A: Both substitute parts maintain the 66-position configuration and MIL-DTL-38999 series standard, ensuring mechanical and electrical compatibility with mating receptacles designed for the ACT96MF35PN.

Q: What is the difference between the two substitute options?

A: Both D38999/26FF35PN (Glenair) and D38999/26WF35PN (Souriau-Sunbank) are MIL-DTL-38999 compliant 66-position connectors. The primary difference is manufacturer designation. Glenair's part specifies MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity, while Souriau-Sunbank's part lists moisture sensitivity as Not Applicable. Both are in active production and available in bulk quantities.

Q: Can I use these substitutes in aerospace and military applications?

A: Yes. Both substitute parts are classified under the same ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS code (8536.69.4020) as the original ACT96MF35PN, supporting aerospace and military application requirements. Both maintain MIL-DTL-38999 series compliance.

Q: What is the inventory status of the substitute parts?

A: D38999/26FF35PN has 1122 units in stock. D38999/26WF35PN has 1103 units in stock. Both are available as new original components in bulk packaging.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between the original and substitute parts?

A: Both substitutes share the same ECCN (EAR99), HTSUS code (8536.69.4020), and RoHS non-compliant status as the original part. REACH status is unaffected for both substitutes. These alignments ensure equivalent regulatory treatment in procurement and export scenarios.

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

A: D38999/26FF35PN is supplied in bulk packaging. D38999/26WF35PN is supplied in bulk packaging. Both differ from the original part's unspecified packaging designation.
