Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the WLG2-G1-N are identified based on the following criteria derived from available technical parameters:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• Manufacturer alignment (Omron Automation and Safety)
• Switch type and circuit configuration (limit switch functionality)
• Actuator type (roller lever mechanism)
• Mounting compatibility (chassis mount)
• Electrical ratings (voltage and current capacity)
• Environmental protection rating (IP67)
• Regulatory compliance (RoHS, ECCN, HTSUS)

The WLG2-G1 CE represents an active product variant within the same WL series, maintaining the core mechanical and electrical architecture of the original WLG2-G1-N while offering current availability and active product support status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The WLG2-G1 CE is the primary substitute for the obsolete WLG2-G1-N based on the following factors:

Product Status: The WLG2-G1 CE maintains active product status with current manufacturing support, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity compared to the obsolete WLG2-G1-N.

Regulatory Compliance: Both parts share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.50.9055) classifications, ensuring equivalent export and tariff treatment. The WLG2-G1 CE carries explicit RoHS compliance certification, meeting modern environmental standards.

Manufacturer Continuity: Both components are manufactured by Omron Automation and Safety, ensuring consistent quality standards and technical support.

Moisture Sensitivity: Both parts maintain MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, indicating equivalent moisture handling requirements during storage and assembly.

Selection of the WLG2-G1 CE eliminates obsolescence risk while maintaining regulatory and environmental compliance requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the WLG2-G1 CE directly replace the WLG2-G1-N in existing installations?

A: The WLG2-G1 CE shares the same base product number (WLG2-G1) and maintains roller lever actuation with chassis mount configuration. Verification of electrical ratings (5A AC / 400mA DC at 125V) and mechanical specifications (IP67 ingress protection) against the original system requirements is necessary before installation.

Q: What is the difference between WLG2-G1-N and WLG2-G1 CE?

A: The WLG2-G1-N is classified as obsolete with limited technical documentation. The WLG2-G1 CE is an active variant within the WL series with documented SPDT circuit configuration, explicit electrical ratings, and RoHS compliance certification. Both share identical regulatory classifications (ECCN, HTSUS) and moisture sensitivity levels.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: Packaging information is not specified for either the WLG2-G1-N or WLG2-G1 CE in the available technical data. Contact the manufacturer or authorized distributor for current packaging specifications.

Q: Does the WLG2-G1 CE meet RoHS requirements?

A: Yes, the WLG2-G1 CE is RoHS compliant. The WLG2-G1-N RoHS status is not documented in available specifications.

Q: What are the mechanical life expectations for the WLG2-G1 CE?

A: The WLG2-G1 CE is rated for 10,000,000 mechanical cycles and 750,000 electrical cycles at specified operating conditions (-10°C ~ 80°C).
