Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the WLCA2-G1LD is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Circuit configuration: SPDT topology
• Current ratings: 10A AC / 6A DC minimum
• Voltage ratings: 125V AC / 30V DC minimum
• Actuator type: Side rotary roller mechanism
• Mounting interface: Chassis mount configuration
• Termination: Screw terminal connectivity
• Environmental sealing: IP67 classification
• Operating temperature range: -10°C to 80°C

The WLCA2-G1LD-N meets all substitution criteria. This part maintains identical electrical ratings, mechanical interface, and environmental specifications while offering active product status and improved availability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The WLCA2-G1LD-N is the direct functional equivalent for applications currently specified with WLCA2-G1LD. Both components share identical electrical performance parameters, mechanical interfaces, and environmental ratings. The primary distinction is product lifecycle status: WLCA2-G1LD is obsolete while WLCA2-G1LD-N maintains active manufacturing status with confirmed inventory availability (1131 units in stock). Selection of WLCA2-G1LD-N eliminates supply chain risk associated with obsolete component sourcing while maintaining full electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can WLCA2-G1LD-N be used as a direct replacement for WLCA2-G1LD?

A: Yes. Both components share identical current ratings (10A AC / 6A DC), voltage ratings (125V AC / 30V DC), SPDT circuit configuration, side rotary roller actuator, chassis mount interface, screw terminal termination, IP67 sealing, and operating temperature range (-10°C to 80°C). Electrical and mechanical compatibility is complete.

Q: What is the primary reason to substitute WLCA2-G1LD?

A: WLCA2-G1LD is classified as obsolete. WLCA2-G1LD-N provides active product status with current manufacturing support and reliable supply chain availability.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: WLCA2-G1LD packaging is unspecified in available documentation. WLCA2-G1LD-N is supplied in bulk packaging. Packaging format does not affect electrical or mechanical performance.

Q: Do these parts have different compliance certifications?

A: WLCA2-G1LD-N is classified as RoHS non-compliant. Compliance requirements should be evaluated against application specifications before final selection.

Q: What mechanical parameters confirm substitution compatibility?

A: Operating force (1360gf), pretravel (15°), differential travel (12°), and operating temperature range (-10°C to 80°C) are identical across both parts, confirming mechanical interchangeability in all applications.
