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.
