PS-26SM-D4P1-1D Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The PS-26SM-D4P1-1D is a 26-position rectangular receptacle connector manufactured by JAE Electronics. This connector features IDC (Insulation Displacement Contact) termination with gold-plated contacts and is designed for discrete or ribbon cable applications at 28 AWG wire gauge. The part maintains Active product status with full RoHS compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1). Substitute parts are identified to provide alternative sourcing options when the primary part is unavailable or when inventory requirements necessitate secondary suppliers.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The CWR-227-26-0000 manufactured by CW Industries qualifies as a substitute based on the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Position Count: Both parts are 26-position receptacle connectors with identical female socket contact configuration
• Pitch & Row Configuration: Both maintain 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch with 2-row layout and identical row spacing
• Cable Termination Method: Both utilize IDC termination technology for ribbon cable or discrete wire applications
• Contact Finish: Both feature gold-plated contacts for equivalent electrical performance
• Mounting & Features: Both are free-hanging in-line connectors with feed-through and polarizing key features
• Compliance Status: Both are RoHS compliant with MSL 1 rating

Substitution is valid where these core parameters align. Differences in wire gauge specification, fastening type designation, and contact finish thickness do not preclude functional equivalence in standard applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the PS-26SM-D4P1-1D and CWR-227-26-0000 maintain Active product status with full regulatory compliance. The PS-26SM-D4P1-1D carries RoHS compliance certification, while the CWR-227-26-0000 meets the more recent ROHS3 standard. Both parts are classified under ECCN EAR99 with identical HTSUS coding (8536.69.4051), confirming equivalent export and trade classification.

Selection between these parts should be based on availability, lead time requirements, and inventory management priorities. The CWR-227-26-0000 currently maintains higher inventory levels (2034 units) compared to the PS-26SM-D4P1-1D (748 units), which may influence procurement decisions for high-volume applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the CWR-227-26-0000 be used as a direct replacement for the PS-26SM-D4P1-1D?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical core specifications: 26-position receptacle configuration, 0.100" pitch, 2-row layout, IDC termination, gold contact finish, and polarizing key features. The connectors are mechanically and electrically equivalent for standard applications.

Q: What is the significance of the different contact finish thickness values?

A: The PS-26SM-D4P1-1D specifies 3.94µin (0.10µm) contact finish thickness, while the CWR-227-26-0000 specifies 10.0µin (0.25µm). Both values exceed minimum plating requirements for gold-plated contacts and do not affect functional compatibility in typical applications.

Q: Does the wire gauge specification difference impact substitution?

A: The PS-26SM-D4P1-1D specifies 28 AWG wire gauge, while the CWR-227-26-0000 does not specify wire gauge in the provided data. Both connectors utilize IDC termination technology compatible with standard ribbon cable and discrete wire applications. Wire gauge selection should be determined by application requirements rather than connector specification.

Q: Are both parts compliant with current regulatory standards?

A: Yes. The PS-26SM-D4P1-1D is RoHS compliant. The CWR-227-26-0000 meets ROHS3 compliance, representing the current regulatory standard. Both parts carry EAR99 ECCN classification and are unaffected by REACH regulations (CWR-227-26-0000 explicitly noted as REACH Unaffected).

Q: What packaging format is available for both parts?

A: Both the PS-26SM-D4P1-1D and CWR-227-26-0000 are supplied in Bulk packaging format, suitable for direct integration into assembly processes or inventory management systems.
