Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitutes (Highest Compatibility):

TV06RW-11-35S (Amphenol Aerospace Operations) is the most direct substitute for the ACT96WB35SN. This connector maintains all critical parameters including 13-position configuration, 11-35 shell size, crimp termination, threaded fastening, gold contact finish at 50.0µin thickness, copper alloy contacts, and identical operating temperature range of -65°C ~ 175°C. The part is currently active with 2500 units in stock. Both connectors are MIL-DTL-38999 Series III compliant, feature shielded construction, and are rated for aerospace and military applications. The TV06RW-11-35S incorporates self-locking coupling nut features and is manufactured under the Tri-Start™ TV series designation.

D38999/26KB35SN (Conesys) provides an alternative with extended operating temperature capability (-65°C ~ 200°C) and ROHS3 compliance, addressing regulatory requirements where the original ACT96WB35SN does not. This connector maintains all mechanical and electrical compatibility parameters, including 13-position configuration, 11-35 shell size, crimp termination, threaded fastening, gold contact finish at 50.0µin thickness, and copper alloy contacts. The part is active with 1064 units in stock and is rated for aerospace, aviation, and military applications.

Secondary Substitutes (Functional Equivalence with Specification Variations):

D38999/26WB35SNLC (Amphenol Aerospace Operations) is a plug housing variant designed for female sockets. This part maintains the 13-position, 11-35 shell size, crimp contact type, threaded fastening, and shielded construction. The connector operates within the -65°C ~ 175°C range and is MIL-DTL-38999 Series III compliant. Note that this part is a housing component and does not include contacts, requiring separate procurement of contact assemblies.

D38999/26FB35SN (Glenair) and CTVS06RF-11-35S (Amphenol Aerospace Operations) are listed as substitutes based on the original part specification. These connectors maintain the 13-position, 11-35 shell size configuration and are rated for aerospace and military applications. Both parts are currently active with inventory availability (1139 and 1123 units respectively).

Compliance Considerations:

The ACT96WB35SN is RoHS non-compliant. Applications requiring RoHS3 compliance should specify D38999/26KB35SN (Conesys), which carries ROHS3 Compliant certification. All substitute parts maintain EAR99 export classification and are suitable for aerospace and military end-use applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can TV06RW-11-35S directly replace ACT96WB35SN in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. The TV06RW-11-35S maintains all critical mechanical and electrical parameters required for direct substitution: 13-position configuration, 11-35 shell size, crimp termination, threaded fastening, gold contact finish at 50.0µin thickness, copper alloy contacts, shielded construction, and identical operating temperature range (-65°C ~ 175°C). Both connectors are MIL-DTL-38999 Series III compliant and rated for aerospace and military applications.

Q: What is the difference between D38999/26WB35SNLC and other substitute options?

A: D38999/26WB35SNLC is a plug housing component designed for female sockets. Unlike complete connector assemblies, this part does not include contacts and requires separate procurement of contact assemblies. It maintains the same shell size (11-35), position count (13), and fastening type (threaded) as the ACT96WB35SN but is specified as a housing-only component.

Q: Does D38999/26KB35SN offer advantages over TV06RW-11-35S?

A: D38999/26KB35SN provides extended operating temperature capability (-65°C ~ 200°C versus -65°C ~ 175°C) and carries ROHS3 Compliant certification, whereas both the original ACT96WB35SN and TV06RW-11-35S are RoHS non-compliant. For applications requiring regulatory compliance with extended temperature performance, D38999/26KB35SN is the appropriate selection. Both parts maintain identical mechanical compatibility and are MIL-DTL-38999 Series III compliant.

Q: Are all substitute parts available in the same packaging format?

A: No. The ACT96WB35SN is packaged in bulk format. Substitute parts are available in varying packaging: TV06RW-11-35S (Bulk), D38999/26KB35SN (Box), D38999/26FB35SN (Bulk), D38999/26WB35SNLC (Bulk), and CTVS06RF-11-35S (Bulk). Packaging format does not affect connector functionality or compatibility.

Q: What is the significance of the self-locking coupling nut feature in TV06RW-11-35S?

A: The self-locking coupling nut feature in TV06RW-11-35S provides enhanced vibration resistance and secure fastening in aerospace and military applications. This feature is compatible with the threaded fastening type specified for the ACT96WB35SN and does not affect mechanical or electrical interchangeability.

Q: Can CTVS06RF-11-35S and D38999/26FB35SN be used as primary substitutes?

A: CTVS06RF-11-35S and D38999/26FB35SN are listed as substitute options based on the original part specification. However, detailed parameter information for these parts is limited in the provided data. TV06RW-11-35S and D38999/26KB35SN are recommended as primary substitutes due to complete parameter documentation and confirmed compatibility across all critical specifications.

Q: What inventory levels are available for each substitute part?

A: Current inventory levels are as follows: TV06RW-11-35S (2500 units), D38999/26FB35SN (1139 units), D38999/26KB35SN (1064 units), CTVS06RF-11-35S (1123 units), and D38999/26WB35SNLC (733 units). All parts are listed as new original stock.

Q: Are there any export classification differences between the original part and substitutes?

A: All substitute parts maintain the same EAR99 export classification as the ACT96WB35SN. HTSUS classifications are consistent across most substitutes (8536.69.4020), with the exception of D38999/26WB35SNLC (8538.90.8180), which reflects its housing-only component classification.
