Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the ACT96WC35SN is determined by strict adherence to the following parameters:

Critical Matching Parameters:

• Connector type: Plug with female sockets
• Number of positions: 22
• Shell size insert designation: 13-35
• MIL shell size: C
• Termination method: Crimp
• Fastening type: Threaded
• Mounting configuration: Free Hanging (In-Line)
• Contact finish: Gold plating
• Contact material: Copper alloy
• Shielding: Shielded construction
• Ingress protection: Environment resistant
• MIL qualification: MIL-DTL-38999 Series III

Allowable Variations:

• Shell material composition (composite or aluminum)
• Shell finish (olive drab cadmium or electroless nickel)
• Operating temperature upper limit (175°C or 200°C)
• RoHS compliance status
• Product status (discontinued or active)

The substitute parts listed maintain all critical matching parameters while differing in material composition, finish specifications, and regulatory compliance certifications.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

D38999/26FC35SN (Amphenol Aerospace Operations)

This substitute provides full electrical and mechanical compatibility with the ACT96WC35SN. The D38999/26FC35SN maintains all critical parameters including 22-position configuration, 13-35 shell size, crimp termination, and MIL-DTL-38999 Series III qualification. The part features an aluminum shell with electroless nickel finish and operates across an extended temperature range (-65°C to 200°C). The D38999/26FC35SN is active in production with ROHS3 compliance and REACH affected status. Inventory availability is 20,099 units.

D38999/26MC35SN (Amphenol Aerospace Operations)

This substitute maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications to the ACT96WC35SN with the exception of shell material composition. The D38999/26MC35SN features a composite shell with electroless nickel finish, matching the original part's composite construction approach. The part is MIL-DTL-38999 Series III qualified, operates at -65°C to 200°C, and is ROHS3 compliant. Inventory availability is 1,132 units.

CTVS06RF-13-35S (Amphenol Aerospace Operations)

This substitute maintains the 13-35 shell size designation and plug configuration. Detailed electrical and mechanical specifications are not fully provided in the available data. This part is active in production with bulk packaging.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the D38999/26FC35SN directly replace the ACT96WC35SN in existing assemblies?

A: The D38999/26FC35SN maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters required for direct substitution. Both connectors are 22-position plugs with female sockets, 13-35 shell size, crimp termination, threaded fastening, and MIL-DTL-38999 Series III qualification. The D38999/26FC35SN operates at an extended temperature range (-65°C to 200°C versus -65°C to 175°C) and features an aluminum shell with electroless nickel finish compared to the original composite shell with olive drab cadmium finish.

Q: What is the difference between D38999/26FC35SN and D38999/26MC35SN?

A: Both parts are 22-position plugs with female sockets, 13-35 shell size, and MIL-DTL-38999 Series III qualification. The primary difference is shell material composition. The D38999/26FC35SN features an aluminum shell, while the D38999/26MC35SN features a composite shell. Both have electroless nickel finish and operate at -65°C to 200°C.

Q: Are the substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: The D38999/26FC35SN and D38999/26MC35SN are both ROHS3 compliant. The original ACT96WC35SN is RoHS non-compliant. If RoHS compliance is required for the application, the Amphenol Aerospace substitute parts satisfy this requirement.

Q: What is the contact finish thickness specification?

A: All listed parts maintain a contact finish thickness of 50.0µin (1.27µm) for gold-plated mating contacts.

Q: Are there inventory considerations for part selection?

A: The D38999/26FC35SN has the highest inventory availability at 20,099 units. The D38999/26MC35SN has 1,132 units available. The CTVS06RF-13-35S has 837 units available. The original ACT96WC35SN has 858 units in stock but is discontinued.

Q: What is the current rating for these connectors?

A: The ACT96WC35SN is rated for 5A. Current rating specifications are not provided for the substitute parts in the available data.

Q: Do these connectors support crimp termination?

A: The ACT96WC35SN and D38999/26FC35SN and D38999/26MC35SN all support crimp termination. Termination method for the CTVS06RF-13-35S is not specified in the available data.
