Product Overview
The Omron C500-CE404 is a 40-pin soldered right-angle connector kit (housing Fujitsu FCN-361J040-AU + cover FCN-360C040-J2 / OTAX N360C040J2) supplied with the CJ1W-CT021 / C200H-CT021 high-speed counter unit. The C500-CE404 lands the encoder and control wiring on the front face of the counter module -- the 40-pin male header on the CT021 mates to the FCN-365J040-B style socket, and the C500-CE404 carries the wiring from the cabinet to that socket. The right-angle soldered configuration is the standard pick for cabinet builds where the encoder cable enters the control panel from the side.
When to pick the soldered vs crimped vs pressure-welded
Pick the C500-CE404 (soldered, right-angle) for hand-soldered or low-volume builds where the wire gauge is fixed and the technician can solder each of the 40 pins to the housing. Pick the C500-CE405 (crimped, FCN-363J040 housing + FCN-363J-AU contacts) for field-replaceable builds where the encoder cable may need to be swapped without re-soldering. Pick the C500-CE403 (pressure-welded, FCN-367J040-AU/F) for flat-cable builds where the ribbon cable lays into the IDC insulation-displacement contacts in one press. Pick the bare C500-CE401 (40-pin soldered straight, no right-angle bend) for top-cable-entry builds where the cable drops straight down from the module.
How the C500-CE4xx sits on the CJ1W-CT021
The CJ1W-CT021 carries two 32-bit counter channels at 500 kHz line-driver / 50 kHz open-collector on the A, B, and Z phases. Each counter needs a 40-pin connector to land the encoder wires, the external control inputs, and the external outputs. The C500-CE404 is supplied with the CT021 as the standard accessory for one counter channel. For a two-channel build, order a second C500-CE404. For the XW2D-40G6 screw-terminal conversion unit on the back end of the wiring, use the XW2Z-050B / 100B / 150B / 200B / 300B / 500B cable in 0.5 m to 5 m lengths.
Before ordering
Confirm the encoder is a 5 V, 12 V, or 24 V open-collector device (50 kHz max) or a 5 V RS-422 line driver (500 kHz max). Order one C500-CE404 per counter channel on the CJ1W-CT021. The C500-CE404 is a spare / replacement part -- the CT021 already ships with one in the box.

Best-Fit Applications
- Spare / replacement 40-pin connector for an existing CJ1W-CT021 high-speed counter build
- Cabinet side-cable entry where the encoder cable drops into the panel from the side
- Hand-soldered prototype build of a 2-axis encoder counter module on a CJ1 / C200H rack
- Custom wiring of phase-A, phase-B, phase-Z, and external control signals on a CT021
- Field-replacement of a damaged connector on an existing CT021 install
Buying Checklist
- Pick C500-CE404 for a 40-pin soldered right-angle connector kit for the CJ1W-CT021 / C200H-CT021 high-speed counter.
- Pick C500-CE401 instead for a 40-pin soldered straight connector (top-cable-entry build).
- Pick C500-CE403 instead for a 40-pin pressure-welded IDC connector (flat-cable ribbon build).
- Pick C500-CE405 instead for a 40-pin crimped connector (field-replaceable build with FCN-363J-AU contacts).
- Order one C500-CE404 per counter channel on the CT021 -- the CT021 ships with one in the box, so the spare is a like-for-like.
- Pair the C500-CE404 with an XW2D-40G6 screw-terminal conversion unit and an XW2Z cable (0.5 m to 5 m) for a clean cabinet wiring land.

FAQ for C500-CE404
Is the C500-CE404 a network module?
No. The C500-CE404 is a 40-pin soldered right-angle connector kit (Fujitsu FCN-361J040-AU housing + FCN-360C040-J2 cover) supplied with the CJ1W-CT021 high-speed counter unit. It is not a Controller Link, EtherNet/IP, or any other communication module. Pick the C500-CE404 to wire the encoder / pulse / control signals into the front face of a CJ1W-CT021 counter; pick a communication unit (CJ1W-ETN21, CS1W-ETN21, or similar) for Ethernet.
What is the difference between C500-CE401, CE403, CE404, and CE405?
All four are 40-pin connector kits for the CJ1W-CT021 / C200H-CT021 high-speed counter. The CE401 is the bare 40-pin soldered straight connector (housing + cover). The CE403 is the 40-pin pressure-welded IDC connector (FCN-367J040-AU/F, no cover) for flat-cable ribbon builds. The CE404 is the 40-pin soldered right-angle connector (housing + cover) for cabinet side-cable builds. The CE405 is the 40-pin crimped connector (FCN-363J040 housing + FCN-363J-AU contacts, separate cover) for field-replaceable builds.
How many C500-CE404 connectors do I need per CJ1W-CT021?
The CJ1W-CT021 carries two 32-bit counter channels and ships with one C500-CE404 in the box. If both counter channels are wired to encoders, order a second C500-CE404 to land the wiring on the second channel. For a single-channel build, the in-box C500-CE404 is enough and no spare is required unless the connector is damaged and needs replacement.
Can the C500-CE404 be used on a 24-pin CJ1W-ID211 input unit?
No. The C500-CE404 is a 40-pin connector for the CJ1W-CT021 / C200H-CT021. The 24-pin connector for the CJ1W-ID211 / ID212 / ID231 input units is the C500-CE243 (24-pin soldered ribbon) or the C500-CE241 (24-pin soldered straight) / C500-CE242 (24-pin crimped). Pick the 24-pin variant for the CJ1W basic I/O units; pick the 40-pin C500-CE4xx for the high-speed counter.
