Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the ACT96WD19SA is determined by strict adherence to the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Compatibility Parameters:

• Number of Positions: 19
• Connector Type: Plug with Female Sockets
• Shell Size - Insert: 15-19
• Termination Method: Crimp
• Fastening Type: Threaded
• Mounting Type: Free Hanging (In-Line)
• Orientation: A
• Shielding: Shielded
• Contact Finish - Mating: Gold
• Contact Finish Thickness: 50.0µin (1.27µm)
• Shell Material: Composite
• Ingress Protection: Environment Resistant
• Series Compliance: MIL-DTL-38999 Series III

The substitute parts identified below maintain these core parameters, ensuring mechanical and electrical interchangeability within the specified operating envelope. Variations in shell finish, color, operating temperature range, and RoHS compliance are noted but do not affect functional substitution capability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

CTVS06RF-15-19SA-506 is the primary substitute for the ACT96WD19SA. This part maintains all critical mechanical and electrical parameters including 19-position configuration, crimp termination, threaded fastening, free-hanging in-line mounting, composite shell material, gold-plated mating contacts at 50.0µin thickness, and shielding. The part operates across an extended temperature range (-65°C ~ 200°C) compared to the original specification (-65°C ~ 175°C) and carries ROHS3 compliance, addressing regulatory requirements not met by the discontinued original part. The part is currently active with 966 units in stock.

CTVS06RF-15-19SA-LC serves as an alternative when only the plug housing is required. This part is a plug housing assembly for female sockets with identical mechanical specifications (19 positions, 15-19 shell size, threaded fastening, free-hanging mounting, composite shell, shielding). It includes a self-locking coupling nut feature and operates across the extended temperature range (-65°C ~ 200°C). Contacts are not included with this housing assembly. This option is suitable for applications requiring housing replacement or assembly customization. The part is active with 1093 units in stock and carries ROHS3 compliance.

CTVS06RF-15-19SA is listed as a substitute but contains incomplete technical specifications. Detailed parameter information is insufficient for direct engineering recommendation without additional verification against system requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CTVS06RF-15-19SA-506 be used as a direct replacement for ACT96WD19SA?

A: Yes. Both parts maintain identical 19-position configuration, crimp termination, threaded fastening, free-hanging in-line mounting, composite shell material, gold-plated mating contacts at 50.0µin thickness, and shielding. The CTVS06RF-15-19SA-506 operates across an extended temperature range and carries ROHS3 compliance.

Q: What is the difference between CTVS06RF-15-19SA-506 and CTVS06RF-15-19SA-LC?

A: CTVS06RF-15-19SA-506 is a complete plug assembly with female sockets and crimp contacts. CTVS06RF-15-19SA-LC is a plug housing assembly only, with contacts not included. The housing variant is used when housing replacement or custom contact assembly is required.

Q: Are there any shell finish differences between the original and substitute parts?

A: Yes. The ACT96WD19SA features Olive Drab Cadmium shell finish, while CTVS06RF-15-19SA-506 and CTVS06RF-15-19SA-LC feature Electroless Nickel finish. Both finishes provide environment-resistant protection and do not affect electrical or mechanical interchangeability.

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

A: No. The substitute parts operate across -65°C ~ 200°C, which encompasses the original specification of -65°C ~ 175°C. Extended temperature capability does not reduce compatibility with systems designed for the original temperature range.

Q: What is the significance of ROHS3 compliance on the substitute parts?

A: ROHS3 compliance indicates the substitute parts meet current regulatory requirements for restricted hazardous substances. The original ACT96WD19SA is RoHS non-compliant. Selection of ROHS3-compliant substitutes addresses regulatory requirements for new designs and procurement specifications.

Q: Can CTVS06RF-15-19SA be used without additional technical verification?

A: No. The CTVS06RF-15-19SA listing contains incomplete technical specifications. Detailed parameter information is insufficient for direct engineering recommendation. CTVS06RF-15-19SA-506 is the recommended substitute with complete specification documentation.

Q: Are the substitute parts suitable for aerospace and military applications?

A: Yes. Both CTVS06RF-15-19SA-506 and CTVS06RF-15-19SA-LC are manufactured by Amphenol Aerospace Operations and comply with MIL-DTL-38999 Series III specifications. Applications include aviation, marine, and military environments.
