Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the JL04-20EBA is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Shell Size - Insert: 20
• Thread Size: 1 1/8-18 UNEF-2B
• Cable Opening: 0.669" (17.00mm)
• Diameter - Outside: 1.457" (37.00mm)
• Cable Exit: 90°
• Base Product Number: JL04-20E
• RoHS Compliance: Required
• Ingress Protection: IP67 minimum

The substitute part JL04-20EBA-RK shares the same base product number (JL04-20E), manufacturer (JAE Electronics), and RoHS compliance status. Both parts are designed for integration with JL04V Series connectors and maintain equivalent environmental sealing specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The JL04-20EBA-RK is a direct substitute for the obsolete JL04-20EBA. Both parts are manufactured by JAE Electronics, share the same base product number, and maintain identical RoHS compliance and regulatory classification (ECCN: EAR99, HTSUS: 8538.90.8180). The substitute part carries active product status, ensuring continued availability and support.

Selection between these parts should be based on inventory requirements and supply chain considerations. The JL04-20EBA-RK is the recommended choice for new designs and ongoing procurement due to its active status. The JL04-20EBA remains available in current inventory for legacy system support and replacement applications where original part specifications are required.
