Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the ACT96WG35PN is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters: connector type (plug with male pins), position count (79), shell size designation (21-35 / MIL size G), termination method (crimp), fastening mechanism (threaded), contact finish (gold), shielding configuration (shielded), current rating (5A), and operating temperature range (-65°C to 175°C). All identified substitute parts maintain these core electrical and mechanical specifications, ensuring form, fit, and function compatibility within MIL-DTL-38999 Series III circular connector standards. Substitutes are sourced from alternative manufacturers including Souriau-Sunbank by Eaton and Glenair, each offering active inventory status and compliance certifications suitable for aerospace and military applications.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The D38999/26FG35PN manufactured by Souriau-Sunbank by Eaton is suitable for applications requiring ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. This substitute maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters of the ACT96WG35PN while offering active product status and established inventory availability.

The D38999/26WG35PN manufactured by Glenair provides an alternative substitute with active product status and bulk packaging availability. This part maintains identical connector specifications and operates within the same environmental and electrical parameters as the original ACT96WG35PN, with moisture sensitivity level matching the original component.

Both substitute parts are classified under the same HTSUS code and ECCN designation, confirming regulatory equivalence for procurement and export purposes. Selection between available substitutes should be based on supply chain requirements, lead time considerations, and specific compliance certifications required by the end application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can D38999/26FG35PN and D38999/26WG35PN be used interchangeably with ACT96WG35PN?

A: Yes. Both substitute parts maintain identical connector type, position count, shell size, termination method, fastening mechanism, contact finish, shielding configuration, current rating, and operating temperature range. These parameters define mechanical and electrical compatibility within MIL-DTL-38999 Series III standards.

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

A: The D38999/26FG35PN is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, while the D38999/26WG35PN maintains moisture sensitivity level 1 (unlimited) matching the original ACT96WG35PN. Both are active products with comparable inventory levels. Selection depends on specific compliance requirements of the application.

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

A: The original ACT96WG35PN packaging information is not specified in the technical data. The D38999/26FG35PN is supplied in bulk packaging, and the D38999/26WG35PN is also supplied in bulk packaging. Confirm packaging requirements with procurement specifications.

Q: Do the substitute parts meet the same environmental specifications?

A: Yes. All substitute parts operate within the -65°C to 175°C temperature range and maintain shielded construction for environment-resistant performance suitable for aerospace and military applications.

Q: What is the current inventory status for each substitute?

A: D38999/26FG35PN has 684 pieces in stock. D38999/26WG35PN has 659 pieces in stock. Both substitutes offer active product status with established supply availability.
