Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the SS-5GL2-FD2 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Circuit Configuration: Must be SPDT
• Current Rating: Must be 5A (AC)
• Voltage Rating: Must be 125V AC
• Actuator Type: Must be Lever, Roller
• Mounting Type: Must be Through Hole, Right Angle
• Termination Style: Must be PC Pin
• Ingress Protection: Must be IP40
• Operating Temperature Range: Must be -25°C to 85°C
• Electrical Life: Must be 200,000 Cycles minimum
• Mechanical Life: Must be 30,000,000 Cycles minimum

The SS-5GL2D1 meets all mandatory substitution criteria and belongs to the same SS series base product family.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The SS-5GL2D1 is the direct substitute for the SS-5GL2-FD2. Both parts are manufactured by Omron Electronics Inc-EMC Div and share identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters. The SS-5GL2D1 is currently in Active product status with higher inventory availability (5322 pcs vs. 1376 pcs), making it the preferred selection for new designs and ongoing production requirements.

The SS-5GL2D1 carries ROHS3 compliance, representing an updated regulatory certification compared to the RoHS Compliant status of the main part. Both parts maintain equivalent performance characteristics with identical operating force and release force specifications suitable for their intended application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the SS-5GL2D1 be used as a direct replacement for the SS-5GL2-FD2?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent across all critical parameters including circuit configuration, current and voltage ratings, actuator type, mounting configuration, and operational life specifications.

Q: What are the differences between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are product status and regulatory compliance. The SS-5GL2-FD2 is Last Time Buy, while the SS-5GL2D1 is Active. The SS-5GL2D1 carries ROHS3 compliance versus RoHS Compliant for the main part. Operating and release forces differ slightly (16gf/2.039gf versus 50gf/6.118gf), which may affect actuator feel but does not impact electrical performance or circuit compatibility.

Q: Are there any packaging or pin configuration differences?

A: No. Both parts use identical through-hole, right-angle mounting with PC pin termination. Packaging is Tray for both variants.

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs?

A: The SS-5GL2D1 should be selected for new designs due to its Active product status, higher inventory availability, and updated ROHS3 compliance certification.

Q: Is the SS-5GL2D1 suitable for applications requiring the exact operating force of the SS-5GL2-FD2?

A: The operating force specification differs between the two parts. Applications with specific actuator force requirements should evaluate whether the 50gf operating force of the SS-5GL2D1 is acceptable for their intended use case.
