Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the ACT96MG41SN are qualified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional and mechanical compatibility:

Electrical Compatibility Parameters:

• 41-position connector configuration
• Female socket contact arrangement
• Gold mating contact finish
• 7.5A current rating capability
• Shielded design

Mechanical Compatibility Parameters:

• Shell size MIL G with 21-41 insert size
• Crimp termination method
• Threaded fastening mechanism
• Free hanging (in-line) mounting orientation

Environmental Parameters:

• Operating temperature range -65°C ~ 200°C
• Aerospace and military application suitability

The substitute parts D38999/26MG41SN and D38999/26WG41SN, manufactured by Souriau-Sunbank by Eaton, satisfy these core compatibility requirements. Both variants maintain the 41-position configuration, female socket design, gold contact finish, and MIL-DTL-38999 Series III compliance necessary for direct substitution in existing applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

D38999/26MG41SN Selection Criteria:

This substitute part is classified as Active with ROHS3 compliance status. The D38999/26MG41SN offers improved regulatory compliance compared to the discontinued ACT96MG41SN while maintaining the 41-position configuration and female socket design. This variant is suitable for applications where RoHS3 compliance is required. Inventory availability of 1091 pieces supports procurement for production and replacement stock.

D38999/26WG41SN Selection Criteria:

This substitute part is classified as Active with RoHS non-compliant status, matching the regulatory posture of the original ACT96MG41SN. The D38999/26WG41SN maintains compatibility with legacy systems designed for non-RoHS components. Significantly higher inventory availability of 30200 pieces provides extended supply security for high-volume applications and long-term system support. This variant is appropriate for applications where RoHS compliance is not mandated.

Both substitute parts share the same ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS code (8536.69.4020) as the main part, ensuring consistent export control and tariff classification treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can D38999/26MG41SN and D38999/26WG41SN be used interchangeably with ACT96MG41SN?

A: Both substitute parts maintain the 41-position female socket configuration and are designed for the same connector interface. The primary difference is RoHS compliance status. D38999/26MG41SN is ROHS3 compliant, while D38999/26WG41SN matches the RoHS non-compliant status of the original part. Selection depends on regulatory requirements for your application.

Q: What is the difference between D38999/26MG41SN and D38999/26WG41SN?

A: The primary distinction is RoHS compliance. D38999/26MG41SN is ROHS3 compliant with Not Applicable moisture sensitivity level. D38999/26WG41SN is RoHS non-compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited), matching the original ACT96MG41SN specifications. Both maintain the 41-position configuration and are manufactured by Souriau-Sunbank by Eaton.

Q: Why is the ACT96MG41SN discontinued?

A: The ACT96MG41SN is discontinued at DiGi Electronics. Equivalent substitute parts from Souriau-Sunbank by Eaton remain in active production and are available in higher quantities, providing continued support for system maintenance and new procurement.

Q: Are there any packaging differences between the main part and substitutes?

A: The ACT96MG41SN packaging information is not specified in available data. The substitute parts D38999/26MG41SN and D38999/26WG41SN are supplied in Bulk packaging. Confirm packaging requirements with your procurement specifications.

Q: What export control classification applies to these connectors?

A: All three parts share ECCN classification EAR99, indicating they are subject to the Export Administration Regulations but not listed on the Commerce Control List. HTSUS code 8536.69.4020 applies uniformly across all variants for tariff purposes.

Q: Which substitute part should I select for new designs?

A: Selection between D38999/26MG41SN and D38999/26WG41SN depends on regulatory requirements. For applications requiring RoHS3 compliance, specify D38999/26MG41SN. For legacy systems or applications without RoHS mandates, D38999/26WG41SN provides higher inventory availability and cost efficiency.
