SDR-26 / MINI CAMERA LINK INTERFACE
SDR 26 Pin Mini Camera Link Connector for Machine Vision Cameras
PCM-TAT-0006 is a compact SDR 26-pin connector designed for Camera Link and machine vision interconnection. Featuring a 0.8 mm contact pitch and solder termination, it can be integrated into custom industrial camera cables connecting cameras, frame grabbers and other imaging equipment where connector space is limited.
Common Search Terminology
SDR 26 Pin • SDR26 • Mini Camera Link • Camera Link 26 Pin • Shrunk Delta Ribbon
Compact Camera Interface
26 Contacts on a Compact 0.8 mm Pitch
SDR stands for Shrunk Delta Ribbon, a compact high-density connector format used in industrial imaging and Camera Link applications. The 26-position arrangement provides the required multi-contact interface while reducing connector size for cameras and vision equipment with limited panel space.
PCM-TAT-0006 uses a 0.8 mm contact pitch and solder termination, allowing it to be incorporated into equipment-specific camera and frame grabber cable assemblies.

Camera Link System
Where the SDR-26 Connector Fits
In a typical machine vision connection, the SDR-26 interface forms part of the signal path between an industrial camera and the image acquisition hardware.

Machine Vision Integration
Designed for Compact Industrial Camera Connections
The smaller SDR connector format is particularly useful on compact area-scan cameras, line-scan cameras and other machine vision devices where the available interface area is limited.
Custom cable assemblies can be produced for camera-to-frame-grabber connections as well as specialized imaging systems requiring an SDR-26 cable-side connector.
| Industrial Cameras | Area scan and line scan imaging |
| Frame Grabbers | Image acquisition interface |
| Inspection Equipment | AOI and automated inspection systems |
| Custom Imaging | OEM and scientific imaging equipment |
Connector Selection
SDR-26 vs. MDR-26 Camera Link Connectors
Both connector formats are found in Camera Link systems, but they use different physical interfaces and should not be selected by pin count alone.
| Feature | SDR-26 | MDR-26 |
| Contact Count | 26 | 26 |
| Typical Pitch | 0.8 mm | 1.27 mm / 0.050 inch |
| Connector Size | More compact | Larger interface |
| Camera Link Use | Mini / compact camera interface | Traditional Camera Link interface |
Always verify the actual camera and frame grabber connector interface before selecting an SDR-26 or MDR-26 cable assembly.
Custom Cable Assembly
From SDR Connector to Complete Camera Link Cable
In addition to the individual SDR-26 connector, Premier Cable can build complete machine vision cable assemblies based on the required camera, frame grabber and equipment interface.
01 SDR-to-SDR cable assemblies
02 SDR-to-MDR configurations
03 Custom cable length and orientation
04 Equipment-specific wiring
05 Industrial and machine vision cable construction
PoCL requirements should be confirmed according to the complete cable assembly and connected Camera Link equipment.

Selecting the Correct Camera Link Connector
SDR-26 and MDR-26 both appear in Camera Link equipment, but the connector dimensions and mating interfaces are different. Confirm whether the camera and frame grabber use SDR or MDR before specifying the cable assembly.
For custom orders, provide the camera model, frame grabber model, connector orientation, required length and PoCL requirement where applicable.
