Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The CWR-227-50-0000 manufactured by CW Industries qualifies as a substitute for the PS-50SM-D4P1-1D based on the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Contact Configuration: Both are 50-position receptacle connectors with female socket contacts
• Pitch & Row Spacing: Both maintain 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch and 0.100" (2.54mm) row spacing across 2 rows
• Cable Termination Method: Both utilize IDC termination technology
• Contact Finish: Both feature gold-plated contacts
• Polarizing Features: Both include polarizing key functionality
• Mounting Configuration: Both are free hanging in-line connectors
• Regulatory Compliance: Both are RoHS compliant

These parameters define the functional and mechanical interchangeability criteria for this connector category.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the PS-50SM-D4P1-1D and CWR-227-50-0000 are active products with equivalent regulatory compliance. The PS-50SM-D4P1-1D carries RoHS compliance, while the CWR-227-50-0000 meets ROHS3 compliance, representing an enhanced regulatory standard. Both connectors share identical electrical and mechanical specifications for the critical parameters governing substitution: connector type, position count, pitch, row configuration, IDC termination, and polarizing key features. Selection between these parts may be based on availability, supply chain considerations, or specific compliance requirements of the end application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the CWR-227-50-0000 directly replace the PS-50SM-D4P1-1D in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical pitch (0.100"), position count (50), row configuration (2 rows), IDC termination method, and polarizing key features. The mechanical and electrical interface specifications are equivalent.

Q: What is the difference in contact finish thickness between these parts?

A: The PS-50SM-D4P1-1D has a contact finish thickness of 3.94µin (0.10µm), while the CWR-227-50-0000 has 10.0µin (0.25µm). Both meet gold plating requirements for IDC connector applications.

Q: Are there differences in wire gauge compatibility?

A: The PS-50SM-D4P1-1D is specified for 28 AWG wire. The CWR-227-50-0000 does not specify a wire gauge parameter. Both utilize IDC termination technology compatible with standard ribbon cable configurations.

Q: What is the significance of ROHS3 compliance on the CWR-227-50-0000?

A: ROHS3 compliance represents an updated regulatory standard beyond standard RoHS compliance. The CWR-227-50-0000 meets this enhanced requirement, making it suitable for applications with stricter environmental and hazardous substance restrictions.

Q: Are both connectors suitable for discrete and ribbon cable applications?

A: The PS-50SM-D4P1-1D supports both discrete and ribbon cable wire types. The CWR-227-50-0000 is specified for ribbon cable. Both utilize IDC termination technology.

Q: What is the MSL rating for these connectors?

A: Both connectors carry an MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity limitations for storage or handling.
