PS-14SD-S4C2 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The PS-14SD-S4C2 is a 14-position rectangular connector housing manufactured by JAE Electronics. This receptacle housing is designed for 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch applications with female socket contacts and crimp termination. The product is classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives essential for ongoing system support and component procurement.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the PS-14SD-S4C2 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Contact Configuration: Receptacle housing with female socket contacts
• Position Count & Pitch: 14 positions at 0.100" (2.54mm) spacing
• Electrical Interface: Crimp termination for standardized contact compatibility
• Physical Form Factor: Single-row, free-hanging in-line mounting
• Environmental Rating: MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity

The substitute part 0050579214 (Molex SL 70066 series) meets all these criteria. While the Molex part includes a polarizing key feature not specified in the original JAE part, this represents an enhancement rather than a deviation from the core functional requirements. Both parts accommodate identical contact types and maintain the same pitch and position configuration.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Molex 0050579214 is the direct functional equivalent for the obsolete PS-14SD-S4C2. Selection of this substitute is supported by:

• Product Status: The Molex part maintains active production status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity.
• Regulatory Compliance: ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status provide assurance for current environmental and safety standards.
• Electrical & Mechanical Compatibility: Identical pitch, position count, contact type, and termination method ensure direct compatibility with existing contact sets and mating connectors.
• Environmental Rating: Matching MSL 1 rating confirms equivalent moisture handling characteristics.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Molex 0050579214 directly replace the JAE PS-14SD-S4C2 in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. Both housings accept identical crimp contacts at 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch with 14 positions in a single row. The mechanical and electrical interfaces are equivalent.

Q: What is the significance of the polarizing key feature on the Molex part?

A: The polarizing key is an additional feature on the Molex housing that prevents incorrect mating orientation. This does not prevent compatibility with the original JAE part; it provides enhanced assembly error prevention.

Q: Are there any packaging differences between these parts?

A: The JAE part is listed with unspecified packaging, while the Molex substitute is supplied in bulk packaging. Verify packaging requirements for your procurement process.

Q: Does the ROHS3 compliance of the Molex part affect compatibility?

A: No. ROHS3 compliance indicates the Molex part meets current environmental standards and is suitable for applications requiring regulatory compliance. This does not impact electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Q: What contact types are compatible with both housings?

A: Both housings are designed for crimp-terminated female socket contacts at 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch. Verify that existing contact inventory meets the specifications of both housing manufacturers.
