Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the ACT96WG11SN are identified based on strict equivalence of the following critical parameters:

Functional Equivalence Criteria:

• Connector type: Plug with female sockets
• Number of positions: 11
• Shell size designation: 21-11 (MIL size G)
• Termination method: Crimp
• Fastening mechanism: Threaded
• Contact finish: Gold plating
• Current rating: 23A
• Operating temperature range: -65°C to 175°C
• Shielding configuration: Shielded

The substitute parts D38999/26FG11SN and D38999/26WG11SN meet these functional and electrical parameters, enabling direct substitution in applications requiring MIL-DTL-38999 Series III 11-position circular connectors with the specified electrical and mechanical characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

D38999/26FG11SN (Glenair): This substitute maintains active product status and is available in bulk packaging with 1,140 pieces in stock. The part carries identical ECCN classification (EAR99) and equivalent moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1). REACH compliance status is unaffected, supporting regulatory requirements for aerospace and military applications.

D38999/26WG11SN (Souriau-Sunbank by Eaton): This substitute is actively manufactured and maintained with significantly higher inventory availability (63,800 pieces in stock). The part maintains EAR99 ECCN classification and RoHS non-compliant status consistent with the original component. Moisture sensitivity is not applicable for this variant. This option provides superior supply chain continuity for long-term procurement requirements.

Both substitute parts are designated as D38999 series connectors, indicating compliance with MIL-DTL-38999 specifications. Selection between these options should be based on procurement lead time requirements, inventory availability, and specific application constraints.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can D38999/26FG11SN and D38999/26WG11SN be used interchangeably with ACT96WG11SN?

A: Both substitute parts are functionally equivalent to the ACT96WG11SN based on the critical parameters of connector type, position count, shell size designation, termination method, and electrical ratings. Direct substitution is supported for applications requiring 11-position MIL-DTL-38999 Series III circular connectors with the specified electrical and mechanical characteristics.

Q: What is the difference between the two substitute options?

A: D38999/26FG11SN is manufactured by Glenair with 1,140 pieces available in bulk packaging. D38999/26WG11SN is manufactured by Souriau-Sunbank by Eaton with 63,800 pieces available in bulk packaging. Both maintain active product status and equivalent regulatory compliance. The primary distinction is manufacturer identity and inventory availability.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between the main part and substitutes?

A: All three parts carry EAR99 ECCN classification. The main part and D38999/26WG11SN are RoHS non-compliant. D38999/26FG11SN RoHS status is not specified in available documentation. All parts are classified as REACH unaffected or maintain equivalent regulatory standing for aerospace and military applications.

Q: What packaging formats are available?

A: The original ACT96WG11SN was supplied in unspecified packaging. Both substitute parts are available in bulk packaging, suitable for production and assembly operations requiring multiple units.

Q: How does product status affect component selection?

A: The ACT96WG11SN is discontinued at DiGi Electronics, limiting future procurement options. Both substitute parts maintain active product status with established manufacturing and distribution channels, ensuring ongoing availability for system support and new production requirements.
