Engineering Selection Recommendations

D38999/26FH35PN (Glenair) is the primary substitute option. This part maintains full electrical and mechanical compatibility with the ACT96MH35PN across all critical parameters. The D38999/26FH35PN is currently active in production with substantial inventory availability (2800 pieces), ensuring reliable procurement for ongoing applications. Both parts comply with MIL-DTL-38999 Series III specifications and share identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications.

D38999/26WH35PN (Glenair) is an alternative substitute option with equivalent electrical and mechanical specifications. This part is also currently active with confirmed inventory (981 pieces). Selection between the two Glenair options depends on specific application requirements and internal design documentation, as both maintain full parameter alignment with the discontinued ACT96MH35PN.

The transition from the TE Connectivity ACT96MH35PN to either Glenair substitute part does not introduce electrical or mechanical incompatibilities within the defined parameter set. Both substitute parts are compliant with the same regulatory classifications and environmental specifications as the original component.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can D38999/26FH35PN and D38999/26WH35PN be used interchangeably with ACT96MH35PN?

A: Both Glenair parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical parameters with the ACT96MH35PN across all critical specifications including connector type, position count, shell size, termination method, shielding, contact finish, current rating, and environmental classifications. They are functionally equivalent within MIL-DTL-38999 Series III specifications.

Q: What is the difference between D38999/26FH35PN and D38999/26WH35PN?
