Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the ACT96WC98SA is determined by the following critical parameters that must align between the main part and any substitute:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Connector Type: Plug with Female Sockets
• Number of Positions: 10
• Shell Size - Insert: 13-98
• Shell Size, MIL: C
• Termination Method: Crimp
• Fastening Type: Threaded
• Shielding: Shielded
• Current Rating: 7.5A minimum
• Operating Temperature Range: -65°C to 175°C minimum
• Contact Finish - Mating: Gold
• Series Compliance: MIL-DTL-38999 Series III or equivalent

The substitute part CTVS06RF-13-98SA from Amphenol Aerospace Operations shares the critical mechanical and electrical parameters required for functional equivalence in the ACT96WC98SA application space.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Product Status Consideration: The ACT96WC98SA is discontinued at DiGi Electronics, making the CTVS06RF-13-98SA from Amphenol Aerospace Operations a viable alternative. The substitute part maintains active product status with established supply availability.

Compliance and Certification: Both components are designed for aerospace and military applications. The ACT96WC98SA carries RoHS non-compliant status, consistent with military-grade connector specifications. Compliance requirements for the substitute part were not provided in the input data.

Inventory and Supply Chain: The substitute part (CTVS06RF-13-98SA) demonstrates higher inventory availability at 989 pieces compared to 650 pieces of the main part, supporting supply chain continuity for ongoing production or service requirements.

Mechanical and Electrical Compatibility: Both parts share the critical 13-98 shell size designation and are classified as circular connectors suitable for aerospace and military applications. The matching shell size ensures mechanical compatibility in existing connector interfaces.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What makes CTVS06RF-13-98SA a suitable substitute for ACT96WC98SA?

A: Both connectors share the same shell size designation (13-98), connector category (circular connectors), and are designed for aerospace and military applications. The substitute part is manufactured by Amphenol Aerospace Operations, an established supplier of MIL-DTL-38999 series connectors.

Q: Are there any differences in packaging between the main part and substitute?

A: The ACT96WC98SA packaging specification was not provided in the input data. The CTVS06RF-13-98SA is supplied in bulk packaging. Packaging requirements should be confirmed based on specific procurement and assembly processes.

Q: Why is the ACT96WC98SA being discontinued?

A: The part is listed as discontinued at DiGi Electronics. Specific reasons for discontinuation were not provided in the input data. Identifying active substitute parts ensures continued availability for systems requiring this connector type.

Q: What parameters must match for a connector to substitute for the ACT96WC98SA?

A: Critical matching parameters include 10-position configuration, 13-98 shell size, crimp termination, threaded fastening, shielded design, 7.5A current rating, and -65°C to 175°C operating temperature range. The connector must also feature gold-plated mating contacts.

Q: Is the substitute part available in the same quantities as the main part?

A: The CTVS06RF-13-98SA demonstrates higher inventory availability at 989 pieces compared to 650 pieces of the ACT96WC98SA, supporting procurement requirements for production programs.
