Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the WLCA2-LD-M1J is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Circuit configuration: SPDT (DB/DM) 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: Cable with connector
• Environmental sealing: IP67 classification
• Operating temperature range: -10°C to 80°C
• Electrical and mechanical life specifications

The WLCA2-LD-M1J-N meets all substitution criteria. This part maintains identical electrical ratings, circuit topology, actuator geometry, mounting interface, and environmental protection. Both components are manufactured by Omron Automation and Safety and share the same base product architecture (WLCA2 platform).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The WLCA2-LD-M1J-N is the direct substitute for the obsolete WLCA2-LD-M1J. Both components share identical electrical specifications, mechanical interfaces, and environmental ratings. The WLCA2-LD-M1J-N carries active product status and RoHS compliance certification, providing regulatory alignment for new designs and ongoing production support.

Selection of the WLCA2-LD-M1J-N is appropriate for direct replacement in existing applications without circuit or mechanical redesign. Both parts are manufactured by Omron Automation and Safety and maintain the same ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.50.9055) classifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the WLCA2-LD-M1J-N directly replace the WLCA2-LD-M1J in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. The WLCA2-LD-M1J-N maintains identical electrical ratings (10A AC at 125V, 6A DC at 30V), circuit topology (SPDT), actuator type (side rotary roller), mounting interface (chassis mount), and environmental protection (IP67). No circuit or mechanical modifications are required.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two parts?

A: The WLCA2-LD-M1J is classified as obsolete, while the WLCA2-LD-M1J-N is active. The substitute part includes RoHS compliance certification. Operating force specifications differ slightly (1360gf for both), but release force and overtravel parameters show minor variations that do not affect functional equivalence within the specified electrical and mechanical operating envelope.

Q: Are there packaging differences between the main part and substitute?

A: The WLCA2-LD-M1J is supplied with unspecified packaging, while the WLCA2-LD-M1J-N is supplied in bulk packaging. Both parts maintain identical component specifications and connector termination.

Q: What certifications apply to the WLCA2-LD-M1J-N?

A: The WLCA2-LD-M1J-N is RoHS compliant and carries EAR99 ECCN classification. Both the main part and substitute share the same HTSUS code (8536.50.9055) for tariff and trade purposes.
