Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the ACT96MH35PA is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Connector Type: Plug with Male Pins
• Number of Positions: 100
• Shell Size - Insert: 23-35
• Shell Size, MIL: H
• Termination Method: Crimp
• Fastening Type: Threaded
• Orientation: A
• Shielding: Shielded
• Current Rating: 5A
• Operating Temperature Range: -65°C ~ 200°C
• Contact Finish - Mating: Gold
• Series Compliance: MIL-DTL-38999 Series III

The substitute parts identified maintain these core electrical and mechanical parameters, ensuring functional interchangeability within aerospace and military applications. All substitute components are classified under the same HTSUS code (8536.69.4020) and ECCN (EAR99), confirming regulatory alignment.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

D38999/26FH35PA (Souriau-Sunbank by Eaton): This substitute maintains full electrical and mechanical compatibility with the ACT96MH35PA. The part is currently active in production and ROHS3 compliant, offering improved environmental compliance for new designs. Inventory availability is 970 pieces. Selection of this substitute is appropriate for applications where RoHS3 compliance is required or preferred.

D38999/26WH35PA (Glenair): This substitute provides direct functional equivalence to the ACT96MH35PA across all critical parameters. The part is active in production with 1123 pieces in current inventory. Moisture sensitivity level matches the original specification (MSL 1 - Unlimited). This substitute is suitable for direct replacement in existing aerospace and military applications without design modification.

Both substitute parts comply with MIL-DTL-38999 Series III specifications and maintain the same ECCN and HTSUS classifications as the original component. Selection between substitutes should be based on procurement availability, compliance requirements, and supply chain considerations specific to the application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can D38999/26FH35PA or D38999/26WH35PA be used as direct replacements for ACT96MH35PA?

A: Yes. Both substitute parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications including connector type, pin count (100 positions), shell size (H, 23-35), termination method (crimp), fastening type (threaded), shielding, current rating (5A), operating temperature range (-65°C ~ 200°C), and contact finish (gold). These components are functionally interchangeable within the same applications.

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

A: The primary differences are manufacturer identity and compliance status. D38999/26FH35PA (Souriau-Sunbank) is ROHS3 compliant, while D38999/26WH35PA (Glenair) maintains the original RoHS non-compliant status. Both are MIL-DTL-38999 Series III compliant and currently in active production.

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

A: The original ACT96MH35PA packaging information was not specified. Both substitute parts are supplied in bulk packaging. Confirm packaging requirements with procurement specifications before final selection.

Q: Do the substitute parts have the same moisture sensitivity level as the original?

A: D38999/26WH35PA maintains MSL 1 (Unlimited), matching the original specification. D38999/26FH35PA lists MSL as Not Applicable. For applications with specific moisture handling requirements, D38999/26WH35PA provides direct MSL alignment.

Q: Are export restrictions the same for all three parts?

A: Yes. The original ACT96MH35PA and both substitute parts are classified under ECCN EAR99, indicating identical export control status. No additional compliance considerations are introduced by substitution.

Q: What inventory levels are available for each option?

A: ACT96MH35PA has 1166 pieces in stock (discontinued status). D38999/26FH35PA has 970 pieces available. D38999/26WH35PA has 1123 pieces available. Inventory levels should be confirmed with current suppliers before procurement decisions.
