Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the WLG2-55-N are identified based on the following criteria:

Manufacturer Consistency: All substitute parts are manufactured by Omron Automation and Safety, ensuring design compatibility and support continuity within the WL series platform.

Series Alignment: Substitute parts belong to the WL series, maintaining mechanical and electrical interface compatibility with existing system designs.

Compliance Equivalence: All substitute parts share identical ECCN (EAR99), HTSUS (8536.50.9055), and MSL (1 - Unlimited) classifications, ensuring regulatory and environmental handling requirements remain unchanged.

Product Status: Active substitute parts are available to replace the obsolete WLG2-55-N, providing continued supply chain access.

The following substitute parts meet these criteria:

• WL01G2-55
• WLG2-55

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Obsolete Product Replacement: The WLG2-55-N is classified as obsolete. Selection of an active substitute part is necessary for new designs or long-term system support. Both WL01G2-55 and WLG2-55 are active products manufactured by Omron and maintain identical regulatory compliance (ECCN EAR99, HTSUS 8536.50.9055, MSL 1).

Compliance Assurance: Both substitute parts are RoHS Compliant, meeting current environmental and regulatory standards. The WLG2-55-N compliance status is not specified; however, substitute parts provide documented RoHS compliance for systems requiring regulatory verification.

Supply Chain Continuity: Both substitute parts maintain current inventory levels (882 and 989 units respectively), ensuring availability for procurement and deployment.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can WL01G2-55 or WLG2-55 be used as direct replacements for WLG2-55-N? A: Both parts are manufactured by Omron within the WL series and share identical regulatory classifications (ECCN, HTSUS, MSL). Mechanical and electrical interface compatibility is maintained within the WL series platform. Verification of specific electrical ratings and mounting requirements for your application is necessary.

Q: What are the key differences between WL01G2-55 and WLG2-55? A: Both parts are SPDT (DB/DM) chassis mount limit switches with identical mechanical specifications (operating force, release force, travel angles, temperature range, and cycle life). Electrical ratings differ: WL01G2-55 is rated 100mA (AC/DC) at 125V AC / 30V DC; WLG2-55 is rated 5A (AC) / 400mA (DC) at 125V AC / 125V DC. Selection depends on the current and voltage requirements of your application.

Q: Are there packaging or termination differences between these parts? A: All three parts use screw terminal termination and chassis mount configuration. Packaging specifications are not provided in the available data.

Q: What is the significance of MSL 1 (Unlimited) classification? A: MSL 1 indicates unlimited shelf life without moisture control requirements, simplifying storage and handling procedures compared to higher MSL ratings.

Q: Are these parts suitable for IP67 environments? A: WL01G2-55 and WLG2-55 both feature IP67 ingress protection (dust tight, waterproof). The WLG2-55-N specification does not include ingress protection data.
