Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the ACT96WH35PN are identified based on strict equivalence of the following critical parameters:

Substitution Criteria:

Connector category: Circular Connectors
Series compliance: MIL-DTL-38999 specification
Number of positions: 100
Shell size designation: 35
Termination method: Crimp
Contact finish: Gold plating
Shielding: Shielded construction
Current rating: 5A
Operating temperature range: -65°C to 175°C
Moisture sensitivity level: 1 (Unlimited)
ECCN classification: EAR99
HTSUS code: 8536.69.4020

The substitute parts D38999/26WH35PN and D38999/26FH35PN, both manufactured by Glenair, meet these equivalence criteria. These parts maintain the same MIL-DTL-38999 specification compliance, 100-position configuration, shell size 35 designation, and electrical characteristics required for direct substitution in aerospace and military applications.
