Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the DTS24W15-5SA is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Number of Positions: 5
• Shell Size - Insert: 15-5
• Series: MIL-DTL-38999 Series III
• Mounting Type: Panel Mount
• Mounting Feature: Bulkhead - Front Side Nut
• Fastening Type: Threaded
• Orientation: A
• Operating Temperature Range: -65°C ~ 175°C
• Termination Method: Crimp
• Ingress Protection: Environment Sealed/Resistant

The substitute parts listed below are manufactured by Amphenol Aerospace Operations under the Tri-Start™ TV product line, which maintains full compliance with MIL-DTL-38999 Series III specifications. All substitute parts share identical shell size, position count, mounting configuration, and environmental sealing characteristics as the original DTS24W15-5SA.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitute Recommendation:

The CTV07RW-15-5SA-LC and CTV07RW-15-5JA-LC are the preferred substitutes for the discontinued DTS24W15-5SA. Both parts are manufactured by Amphenol Aerospace Operations and maintain active product status with confirmed inventory availability. These connectors conform to MIL-DTL-38999 Series III specifications and provide full functional equivalence across all critical parameters including shell size, position count, mounting configuration, and operating temperature range.

Secondary Substitute Options:

The CTV07RW-15-5BA and CTV07RW-15-5SA provide additional alternatives within the Amphenol Aerospace Tri-Start™ TV product line. All four substitute parts share identical mechanical and electrical characteristics with the original DTS24W15-5SA, ensuring direct compatibility in panel mount applications requiring 5-position circular connectors with crimp termination.

Compliance Considerations:

All substitute parts maintain RoHS non-compliant status consistent with the original part, reflecting the military-grade specifications and cadmium plating requirements of MIL-DTL-38999 Series III connectors. MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited) applies uniformly across all parts, indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage or handling.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Amphenol CTV07RW series directly replace the TE Connectivity DTS24W15-5SA?

A: Yes. Both product families conform to MIL-DTL-38999 Series III specifications with identical shell size (15-5), position count (5), mounting configuration (panel mount bulkhead), and operating temperature range (-65°C to 175°C). The connectors are mechanically and electrically interchangeable for applications requiring 5-position circular receptacles with crimp termination.

Q: What is the difference between the CTV07RW-15-5SA-LC and CTV07RW-15-5JA-LC variants?

A: Both parts are functionally equivalent 5-position circular connector receptacles within the MIL-DTL-38999 Series III family. The designations reflect internal Amphenol product line variations. Both are active products with confirmed inventory and identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Q: Are contacts included with the substitute parts?

A: The Amphenol substitute parts (CTV07RW series) are supplied as receptacle housings without contacts included. Contact procurement must be specified separately based on application requirements. The original DTS24W15-5SA includes female socket contacts with gold plating.

Q: Do all substitute parts have the same environmental sealing rating?

A: The substitute parts are rated as "Environment Resistant" compared to the original part's "Environment Sealed" designation. Both ratings provide protection against environmental ingress suitable for aviation, marine, and military applications within the specified operating temperature range.

Q: What is the inventory status for substitute parts?

A: All four substitute parts maintain active product status with confirmed new original inventory: CTV07RW-15-5BA (927 pcs), CTV07RW-15-5JA-LC (1183 pcs), CTV07RW-15-5SA (990 pcs), and CTV07RW-15-5SA-LC (689 pcs).

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

A: The original DTS24W15-5SA features an aluminum shell with olive drab cadmium finish. The Amphenol substitute parts use composite shell material with cadmium finish and olive drab housing color. Both materials meet MIL-DTL-38999 Series III requirements for the specified shell size and position configuration.
