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 product status listed for the CJ1W-ID262 is Active, and the module is quoted to order against an RFQ — that is the line the procurement record gives. 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.
