Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can D38999/26WH35PN and D38999/26FH35PN be used interchangeably with ACT96WH35PN-3025?

A: Yes. Both Glenair parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications within the MIL-DTL-38999 Series III standard. All critical parameters including connector type, position count, shell size, termination method, current rating, and contact materials are equivalent.

Q: What is the difference between D38999/26WH35PN and D38999/26FH35PN?

A: Both parts conform to the same MIL-DTL-38999 specification and maintain identical functional parameters. The designation difference reflects manufacturer-specific part numbering conventions. Selection should be based on inventory availability and procurement lead times.

Q: Are the Glenair substitutes suitable for aerospace and military applications?

A: Yes. Both D38999/26WH35PN and D38999/26FH35PN are manufactured to MIL-DTL-38999 Series III specifications, which are the standard for aerospace and military circular connectors. The parts maintain all required environmental resistance, temperature ratings, and shielding characteristics.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for these connectors?

A: The operating temperature range is -65°C to 175°C for all three parts (original and substitutes).

Q: Are these connectors RoHS compliant?

A: No. The ACT96WH35PN-3025 and its Glenair substitutes are RoHS non-compliant due to the cadmium plating on the shell finish, which is required for MIL-DTL-38999 Series III compliance in aerospace and military applications.

Q: What packaging is available for the substitute parts?
