What this module is
The Omron CJ1W-ID262 is a 64-point digital input module for the CJ Series rack, mounting on DIN rail and terminating through a rectangular connector. It carries the CE, cULus, Lloyd, and NK approval marks, which is the usual multi-jurisdiction set for CJ-series I/O shipped into European, North American, marine, and Japanese industrial panels.
Where it sits in a panel
DIN-rail mount and rectangular-connector termination keep the field wiring off the module face, which matters when the cabinet builder is laying out a dense I/O row and wants pre-made cable harnesses from the marshalling terminals. With 64 inputs on a single CJ slot, the ID262 collapses what would otherwise be two 32-point modules into one position — useful where backplane slots are tight or the rack is already carrying analogue and motion cards alongside the discretes.
Lifecycle posture for the BOM line
The same entry flags a 'hot' end-of-life pressure, so buyers locking this part into a long-lifecycle panel should plan a second-source review rather than treat the active status as a multi-year guarantee.
Sibling density options
The CJ1W-ID261 is the closest listed peer in the same 64-point digital format with the same DIN-rail / rectangular-connector / approvals combination, so on the spec sheet it reads as a direct alternate within the CJ1W line.
