WOODWARD 5417-028 Cable Assembly | Replacement, Equivalent & Selection Guide
The WOODWARD 5417-028 is a factory-specified cable assembly designed for use within WOODWARD governor and turbine control systems. It serves as a critical interconnect component, ensuring reliable signal and power transmission between control modules, actuators, and field devices in demanding industrial environments.
Selection Background
Industrial buyers frequently search for WOODWARD 5417-028 replacement or 5417-028 equivalent options when the original part is on extended lead time, has been discontinued, or when a cost-optimized alternative is required for MRO (maintenance, repair & operations) purposes. Understanding which substitutes are functionally compatible — and under what conditions — is essential to avoiding unplanned downtime. This guide consolidates that information to support confident sourcing decisions.

Compatible Replacement & Equivalent Models
1. Direct Drop-in Replacements
Direct drop-in replacements share identical connector pinout, cable length, shielding specification, and temperature rating. The following are confirmed or commonly cited direct substitutes:
- WOODWARD 5417-028 (OEM original) — always the safest choice for warranty-critical installations
- WOODWARD-authorized spare with same part number from certified distributors
Prerequisite: Verify part number label and revision suffix before installation.
2. Functional Equivalents
Functional equivalents meet the same electrical and mechanical performance criteria but may differ in minor physical attributes (e.g., jacket color, strain relief design). Suitable for non-OEM-warranty applications:
- Custom-fabricated cable assemblies built to WOODWARD 5417-028 drawing specifications
- Approved third-party cable assemblies with matching connector series and shielding class
Prerequisite: Obtain WOODWARD drawing or Konmask technical confirmation before ordering.
3. Cross-Brand Alternatives
Cross-brand alternatives may be considered for retrofit or non-OEM systems where WOODWARD certification is not mandatory:
- Belden / Lapp / Igus equivalent shielded cable assemblies with matching connector termination
- Custom assemblies using Amphenol or Deutsch connector series (application-specific)
⚠ Important: Cross-brand substitutes must be validated by a qualified control systems engineer. Konmask can provide compatibility assessment upon request.

Selection Guide
Answer these three questions to confirm the right cable assembly for your application:
-
Is your system under OEM warranty or a service contract requiring original WOODWARD parts?
If yes → order the original WOODWARD 5417-028. Konmask can source and verify authenticity. -
Do you need a functional equivalent due to lead time or cost constraints?
If yes → contact Konmask with your system drawing. We will identify a validated functional equivalent or fabricate to spec. -
Are you retrofitting a non-WOODWARD system and need a cross-brand substitute?
If yes → provide your connector series, cable length, shielding class, and temperature rating. Konmask will recommend a compatible cross-brand alternative.
