Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the WLCA2-LDK13 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Circuit configuration: SPDT (DB/DM)
• Switch function: On-Momentary
• Current ratings: 10A AC / 6A DC minimum
• Voltage ratings: 125V AC / 30V DC minimum
• Actuator type: Side Rotary, Roller
• Mounting type: Chassis Mount
• Termination style: Connector
• Ingress protection: IP67 minimum
• Operating temperature range: -10°C to 80°C minimum
• Electrical life: 750,000 cycles minimum
• Mechanical life: 15,000,000 cycles minimum

The WLCA2-LDK13-N meets all substitution criteria and is classified as an active product within the Omron WL-N series, providing direct functional replacement capability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The WLCA2-LDK13-N is the direct functional equivalent of the WLCA2-LDK13. Both parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters. The primary distinction is product status: the WLCA2-LDK13 is obsolete, while the WLCA2-LDK13-N is active and currently manufactured.

The WLCA2-LDK13-N carries RoHS compliance certification, whereas the original part has undefined RoHS status. This compliance status may be relevant for applications subject to environmental regulations.

Both parts are available from inventory. Selection between them should be based on procurement requirements and regulatory compliance mandates specific to the application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the WLCA2-LDK13-N directly replace the WLCA2-LDK13 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The WLCA2-LDK13-N maintains identical electrical ratings (10A AC at 125V, 6A DC at 30V), mechanical specifications (15,000,000 cycle life), circuit configuration (SPDT), actuator type (side rotary roller), mounting method (chassis mount), and environmental protection (IP67). No design modifications are required.

Q: What is the difference between these two parts?

A: The WLCA2-LDK13-N is the active production equivalent of the obsolete WLCA2-LDK13. The substitute part includes RoHS compliance certification and is supplied in bulk packaging. All functional and electrical parameters are identical.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The WLCA2-LDK13 packaging specification is undefined. The WLCA2-LDK13-N is supplied in bulk packaging. Confirm packaging requirements with your procurement specification before ordering.

Q: What parameters determine substitution eligibility for this switch?

A: Substitution is based on equivalence across circuit configuration (SPDT), switch function (On-Momentary), current and voltage ratings (10A AC/125V, 6A DC/30V), actuator type (side rotary roller), mounting method (chassis mount), termination style (connector), ingress protection (IP67), operating temperature range (-10°C to 80°C), and cycle life specifications (750,000 electrical, 15,000,000 mechanical).

Q: Is the WLCA2-LDK13-N RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The WLCA2-LDK13-N is RoHS compliant. The original WLCA2-LDK13 has undefined RoHS status.
