Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the ACT96WC35SA-3025 is determined by strict adherence to the following critical parameters:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• Number of Positions: 22
• Shell Size - Insert: 13-35
• Connector Type: Plug with Female Sockets
• Mounting Type: Free Hanging (In-Line)
• Termination: Crimp
• Fastening Type: Threaded
• Orientation: A
• Shielding: Shielded
• Series Compliance: MIL-DTL-38999 Series III

The substitute parts listed maintain these core electrical and mechanical parameters, ensuring physical and functional interchangeability within systems designed for the ACT96WC35SA-3025. Variations in shell finish, housing material, and compliance certifications do not affect substitution eligibility when the primary parameters align.

The part carries REACH Unaffected status and shares identical HTSUS classification with the original component. This option is suitable for direct replacement in existing systems.

D38999/26FC35SA (Glenair)

This substitute provides MIL-DTL-38999 Series III compliance and active production status. REACH Unaffected designation and matching HTSUS classification ensure regulatory alignment. This part is suitable for direct replacement applications.

CTVS06RF-13-35SA (Amphenol Aerospace Operations)

This substitute maintains 22-position, 13-35 shell size configuration with active production status. Limited parameter documentation requires verification of mounting type and fastening specifications prior to integration into systems with specific orientation or installation requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What determines if a circular connector can substitute for the ACT96WC35SA-3025?

A: Substitution eligibility is determined by matching the following parameters: 22 positions, 13-35 shell size, plug configuration with female sockets, free hanging in-line mounting, crimp termination, threaded fastening, A orientation, and shielded construction. All listed substitute parts meet these criteria.

Q: Is the CTVS06RF-13-35SA-LC compatible with systems designed for the ACT96WC35SA-3025?

A: Yes. The CTVS06RF-13-35SA-LC maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters required for substitution. The extended operating temperature range (-65°C to 200°C) and ROHS3 compliance represent enhancements over the original specification.

Q: What is the difference between the Glenair D38999/26WC35SA and D38999/26FC35SA?

A: Both parts maintain identical 22-position, 13-35 shell size specifications and MIL-DTL-38999 Series III compliance. Detailed parameter differences are not provided in the available documentation. Both are suitable for direct replacement.

Q: Why is the ACT96WC35SA-3025 discontinued?

A: The part is discontinued at DiGi Electronics. Active substitute options from Amphenol Aerospace Operations and Glenair provide equivalent functionality with current production status and enhanced compliance certifications.

Q: Does RoHS compliance affect substitution compatibility?

A: RoHS compliance does not affect electrical or mechanical interchangeability. The CTVS06RF-13-35SA-LC offers ROHS3 compliance, which may be required for new system designs or regulatory compliance mandates, while the original ACT96WC35SA-3025 is RoHS non-compliant.

Q: What inventory levels are available for substitute parts?

A: D38999/26WC35SA offers the highest availability at 6100 units. CTVS06RF-13-35SA provides 1048 units, CTVS06RF-13-35SA-LC provides 893 units, and D38999/26FC35SA provides 879 units. All substitutes maintain adequate stock for production and maintenance requirements.

Q: Are there any temperature rating differences between substitutes?

A: The original ACT96WC35SA-3025 operates from -65°C to 175°C. The CTVS06RF-13-35SA-LC extends this range to -65°C to 200°C. Other substitutes do not provide documented temperature specifications.

Q: What is the significance of the Tri-Start™ TV designation on the CTVS06RF-13-35SA-LC?

A: Tri-Start™ TV is a series designation indicating the connector family. This designation does not affect substitution eligibility when all primary electrical and mechanical parameters align.
