Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The WAGO 789-802 qualifies as a parametric equivalent to the 789-801 based on the following critical electrical and mechanical parameters:

Matching Parameters:

• Current Rating: 16A (identical)
• Voltage Rating AC: 250V (identical)
• Voltage Rating DC: 500V (identical)
• Mounting Type: DIN Rail (identical)
• Actuator Type: Rocker (identical)
• Number of Poles: 2 (identical)
• Manufacturer: WAGO Corporation (identical)
• Product Status: Active (identical)
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant (identical)

Both components function as switching modules with identical electrical specifications and mechanical form factors, enabling direct substitution within applications requiring 16A switching capacity at the specified voltage levels.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the WAGO 789-801 and WAGO 789-802 are active products with identical electrical ratings and mechanical specifications. Selection between these components should be based on:

Product Availability: The 789-801 maintains higher inventory levels at 872 pieces compared to 793 pieces for the 789-802, supporting supply chain continuity.

Compliance Status: Both components meet ROHS3 compliance requirements, ensuring regulatory alignment for applications subject to hazardous substance restrictions.

Functional Equivalence: The identical current rating (16A), voltage specifications (250V AC / 500V DC), mounting configuration (DIN Rail), and actuator design (2-pole rocker) establish complete functional interchangeability.

Selection of either component is determined by application requirements and inventory availability rather than electrical or mechanical performance differences.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can WAGO 789-802 directly replace WAGO 789-801 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both components share identical electrical ratings (16A at 250V AC and 500V DC), mounting type (DIN Rail), actuator configuration (rocker), and pole count (2-pole). Direct substitution is supported without circuit modification.

Q: What are the critical parameters that define substitution eligibility?

A: Substitution eligibility is determined by matching current rating (16A), AC voltage rating (250V), DC voltage rating (500V), mounting type (DIN Rail), actuator type (rocker), and pole configuration (2-pole). Both components meet these criteria.

Q: Are there differences in compliance or certification between these parts?

A: Both components are ROHS3 compliant and carry Active product status. No compliance or certification differences exist between the 789-801 and 789-802.

Q: How do the packaging specifications compare?

A: Both components are supplied in Box packaging, maintaining consistent handling and storage requirements.

Q: What inventory considerations should influence part selection?

A: The 789-801 has 872 pieces in stock compared to 793 pieces for the 789-802. Inventory levels may influence procurement decisions based on project timelines and supply requirements.
