Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CTVS06RF-15-19S-506 be used as a direct replacement for ACT96WD19SN-3025?

A: Yes. Both connectors are 19-position plugs with female sockets, MIL size D, crimp termination, threaded fastening, and gold-plated mating contacts. Both are shielded and environment-resistant. The CTVS06RF-15-19S-506 supports an extended operating temperature range and is ROHS3 compliant.

Q: What is the difference between D38999/26KD19SN and D38999/26MD19SN?

A: D38999/26KD19SN features stainless steel shell material with passivated finish, while D38999/26MD19SN features composite shell material with electroless nickel finish. Both support the same operating temperature range (-65°C to 200°C), are ROHS3 compliant, and maintain full electrical and mechanical compatibility. Selection depends on application-specific corrosion resistance or material requirements.

Q: Is D38999/26WD19SNLC compatible with the original ACT96WD19SN-3025?

A: D38999/26WD19SNLC is a plug housing variant without contacts. It is compatible for housing replacement applications where the connector shell requires replacement. Contacts must be sourced separately and are not included with this part.

Q: What is the significance of the contact finish thickness specification of 50.0µin (1.27µm)?

A: Contact finish thickness determines the durability and wear resistance of the gold-plated mating surfaces. The 50.0µin (1.27µm) specification on substitute parts CTVS06RF-15-19S-506, D38999/26KD19SN, and D38999/26MD19SN ensures consistent electrical performance and contact reliability across mating cycles.
