Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitutes (Fully Specified):

The CTVS06RF-15-19H, CTVS06RF-15-19P-506, and D38999/26MD19PN connectors are the preferred substitutes for the ACT96WD19PN-3025. These parts maintain all critical functional parameters including 19-position configuration, crimp termination, threaded fastening, shielded construction, and composite shell material. All three substitutes are currently in active production status, ensuring long-term availability.

The CTVS06RF series (Amphenol Aerospace Operations, Tri-Start™ TV) and D38999/26MD19PN (Amphenol Aerospace Operations) offer extended operating temperature ranges of -65°C ~ 200°C compared to the original part's -65°C ~ 175°C specification. Both manufacturers provide ROHS3 compliance, addressing regulatory requirements that the original discontinued part does not meet.

Secondary Substitutes (Partially Specified):

The D38999/26FD19PN and D38999/26WD19PN connectors, manufactured by Glenair, are listed as active products with confirmed inventory. However, detailed electrical and mechanical specifications for these parts are not fully provided in the available data. These parts maintain MIL-DTL-38999 Series III compliance and MSL 1 rating. Selection of these parts requires verification of complete specification alignment with application requirements.

Compliance Considerations:

All substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant or unaffected by REACH regulations, providing regulatory advantages over the discontinued RoHS non-compliant original part. All substitutes carry EAR99 ECCN classification and 8536.69.4020 HTSUS code, matching the original part's export and tariff classification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the CTVS06RF-15-19H replace the ACT96WD19PN-3025 directly?

A: The CTVS06RF-15-19H maintains all critical functional parameters: 19-position configuration, male pins, crimp termination, threaded fastening, shielded construction, and composite shell material. The primary differences are shell finish (Electroless Nickel versus Olive Drab Cadmium) and extended operating temperature range (-65°C ~ 200°C versus -65°C ~ 175°C). Direct substitution is supported for applications within the original temperature specification.

Q: What is the difference between CTVS06RF-15-19H and CTVS06RF-15-19P-506?

A: Both parts are 19-position Amphenol Aerospace Operations connectors with identical core specifications. The primary difference is contact finish thickness: CTVS06RF-15-19H specifies 100.0µin (2.54µm) gold plating, while CTVS06RF-15-19P-506 specifies 50.0µin (1.27µm). Both thicknesses meet MIL-DTL-38999 Series III requirements. Selection depends on application-specific contact durability requirements.

Q: Why are D38999/26FD19PN and D38999/26WD19PN listed as substitutes if specifications are incomplete?

A: These Glenair parts are included because they are referenced in the original part's substitute list and maintain MIL-DTL-38999 Series III compliance with confirmed active production status and inventory availability. Complete specification data for these parts should be obtained directly from the manufacturer before final selection.

Q: Does the extended operating temperature range of substitute parts affect compatibility?

A: The extended range (-65°C ~ 200°C on substitutes versus -65°C ~ 175°C on the original) represents an enhancement. Applications operating within the original temperature specification remain fully compatible. Applications requiring operation above 175°C benefit from the extended range of substitute parts.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: The Amphenol Aerospace Operations parts (CTVS06RF series and D38999/26MD19PN) are ROHS3 compliant. The Glenair parts (D38999/26FD19PN and D38999/26WD19PN) are REACH Unaffected. The original ACT96WD19PN-3025 is RoHS non-compliant. Regulatory requirements for your application determine which compliance status is necessary.

Q: What is the significance of the Tri-Start™ TV designation on Amphenol parts?

A: Tri-Start™ TV is Amphenol Aerospace Operations' series designation for MIL-DTL-38999 Series III connectors. This designation indicates the connector family and manufacturing standard compliance. It does not affect functional compatibility with other MIL-DTL-38999 Series III compliant connectors.

Q: Can I use these substitutes in aerospace applications?

A: All substitute parts list aerospace and military applications in their specifications. The Amphenol Aerospace Operations parts explicitly identify aerospace applications. The Glenair parts are qualified for aerospace, aviation, marine, and military use. Specific aerospace program requirements and qualification documentation should be verified with the applicable program authority.

Q: What packaging options are available for these substitutes?

A: The CTVS06RF-15-19P (LC) is available in bulk packaging. The CTVS06RF-15-19H and CTVS06RF-15-19P-506 are available in standard packaging. The D38999 series parts are available in bulk packaging. Packaging selection depends on procurement and inventory management requirements.
