MIL-DTL-38999 Series III Compliance: Both connectors conform to the same military standard specification, ensuring interchangeability in aerospace and military applications.

Supply Chain Advantage: The substitute part demonstrates significantly higher inventory availability (34500 Pcs versus 677 Pcs), providing improved procurement reliability for ongoing production and support requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the D38999/26WF32SN be used as a direct replacement for the ACT96WF32SN-3025?

A: Yes. The D38999/26WF32SN is a direct equivalent substitute. Both connectors share identical electrical ratings (32 positions, 7.5A current, gold-plated contacts), mechanical specifications (shell size F, crimp termination, threaded fastening), and regulatory compliance (MIL-DTL-38999 Series III, RoHS non-compliant, MSL 1, ECCN EAR99).

Q: What are the key compatibility criteria for substituting the ACT96WF32SN-3025?

A: Substitute parts must maintain: 32-position configuration, 7.5A current rating, gold-plated mating contacts, copper alloy contact material, shielded construction, shell size F, crimp termination, threaded fastening, composite shell material, MIL-DTL-38999 Series III compliance, and identical regulatory classifications (RoHS non-compliant, MSL 1, ECCN EAR99, HTSUS 8536.69.4020).

Q: Are there any differences in packaging between the original and substitute parts?

A: The ACT96WF32SN-3025 packaging information is not specified in the original documentation. The D38999/26WF32SN is supplied in bulk packaging. Specific packaging requirements should be confirmed with procurement specifications.

Q: Does the substitute part maintain the same operating temperature range?

A: The operating temperature range for the D38999/26WF32SN is not explicitly provided in the substitute part documentation. The original ACT96WF32SN-3025 operates from -65°C to 175°C. Confirmation of temperature specifications for the substitute part should be obtained from the manufacturer's technical documentation.

Q: What is the inventory status difference between these parts?

A: The original ACT96WF32SN-3025 has 677 pieces in stock but is discontinued at DiGi Electronics. The substitute D38999/26WF32SN has 34500 pieces in stock and maintains active product status, providing superior supply chain availability.

Q: Are both parts compliant with the same regulatory standards?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical regulatory classifications: RoHS non-compliant, Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited), ECCN EAR99, and HTSUS code 8536.69.4020. Both conform to MIL-DTL-38999 Series III specifications.

Q: Can the D38999/26WF32SN be used in aerospace and military applications?

A: The original ACT96WF32SN-3025 is specified for aerospace and military applications. The substitute D38999/26WF32SN maintains MIL-DTL-38999 Series III compliance and equivalent electrical and mechanical specifications, supporting use in these application categories.
