D4GL-4CFG-A4 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The D4GL-4CFG-A4 is an interlock solenoid locking switch manufactured by Omron Automation and Safety. This DPST (Double Pole Single Throw) component features a panel disconnect actuator with screw terminal connections, designed for industrial safety and control applications requiring electromagnetic locking functionality. The product is currently obsolete, making identification of active equivalent parts essential for system maintenance and component replacement in existing installations.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the obsolete D4GL-4CFG-A4 is based on the following critical parameters that must align across equivalent parts:

Mandatory Compatibility Parameters:

• Manufacturer: Omron Automation and Safety (same manufacturer ecosystem)
• Type: Solenoid Locking (functional category)
• Circuit Configuration: DPST-NO/NC + DPST-NC (electrical switching topology)
• Actuator Type: Panel Disconnect (mechanical interface)
• Conduit Thread Size: M20 (mechanical mounting)
• Operating Temperature Range: -10°C ~ 55°C (environmental tolerance)
• Ingress Protection: IP67 (environmental sealing)

Allowable Parameter Variations:

• Current Rating: Substitute parts may have different AC/DC current ratings provided the application does not exceed the substitute's rating
• Voltage Rating: Substitute parts may operate at different voltage levels; application voltage must fall within the substitute's rating
• Holding Force: Substitute parts may have different holding force values; application requirements must not exceed the substitute's capacity
• Termination Style: Screw Terminal or Connector variations are acceptable based on installation requirements
• Product Status: Active status preferred for long-term availability

The D4SL-N series (D4SL-N4CFG and D4SL-N4CFG-N) meets all mandatory compatibility parameters while offering active product status and current manufacturing support.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

D4SL-N4CFG (Screw Terminal Configuration): Select this substitute when the existing installation uses screw terminal connections. This part maintains identical termination style to the original D4GL-4CFG-A4, minimizing wiring modifications. Active product status ensures ongoing availability and manufacturing support. Voltage rating of 120VAC/125VDC and current rating of 1.5A AC/220mA DC must be verified against application requirements. The reduced holding force of 6kgf compared to the original 102kgf requires assessment of mechanical load requirements.

D4SL-N4CFG-N (Connector Configuration): Select this substitute when connector-based termination is acceptable or preferred for the application. This variant offers identical electrical and mechanical specifications to the D4SL-N4CFG with the exception of termination style. Connector configuration may simplify installation and maintenance procedures. Active product status and regulatory certifications (CCC, CE, cURus, TUV) support long-term deployment.

Regulatory Compliance: Both substitute parts carry expanded approval agency certifications (CCC, CE, cURus, TUV) compared to the original part (CE, cULus, TUV), providing broader regulatory coverage for international applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can D4SL-N4CFG or D4SL-N4CFG-N directly replace D4GL-4CFG-A4 in my existing system?

A: Direct replacement is possible if the application voltage and current requirements fall within the substitute's ratings (120VAC/125VDC, 1.5A AC/220mA DC). The original part operates at 240VAC with 750mA AC current, which exceeds the substitute's voltage rating. Verify that your system operates at 120VAC or 125VDC before substitution. The reduced holding force (6kgf vs. 102kgf) must also be evaluated against mechanical load requirements.

Q: What is the difference between D4SL-N4CFG and D4SL-N4CFG-N?

A: The primary difference is termination style. D4SL-N4CFG uses screw terminals, while D4SL-N4CFG-N uses connector termination. All other electrical and mechanical specifications are identical. Select based on your installation's wiring requirements and maintenance procedures.

Q: Why does the substitute have lower holding force than the original?

A: The D4SL-N series is designed for different application requirements than the D4GL series. The 6kgf holding force of the substitute must be evaluated against your specific mechanical load. If your application requires 102kgf holding force, these substitutes may not be suitable.

Q: Are the substitute parts currently available?

A: Yes. D4SL-N4CFG has 1175 pieces in stock, and D4SL-N4CFG-N has 641 pieces in stock as active products from Omron Automation and Safety.

Q: What regulatory certifications do the substitute parts carry?

A: Both D4SL-N4CFG and D4SL-N4CFG-N carry CCC, CE, cURus, and TUV certifications, providing broader regulatory coverage than the original D4GL-4CFG-A4 (CE, cULus, TUV).

Q: Can I use these substitutes in applications requiring 240VAC operation?

A: No. The substitute parts are rated for 120VAC/125VDC maximum. Applications requiring 240VAC operation cannot use these substitutes. Verify your system voltage before proceeding with replacement.
