Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The WLG2-LDK43 serves as a direct substitute for the WLG2-LDK43-N based on the following substitution criteria:

Shared Functional Parameters:

• Manufacturer: Omron Automation and Safety (same manufacturer ensures design compatibility)
• Base Product Number: WLG2-LD (common platform)
• Actuator Type: Side Rotary, Roller (identical mechanical interface)
• Circuit Configuration: SPDT (DB/DM) (same electrical switching topology)
• Mounting Type: Chassis Mount (identical installation method)
• Ingress Protection: IP67 (Dust Tight, Waterproof) (equivalent environmental sealing)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) (identical handling requirements)
• ECCN: EAR99 (same export classification)

The WLG2-LDK43 is an active product that maintains the core electrical and mechanical characteristics of the obsolete WLG2-LDK43-N while offering improved compliance status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Direct Replacement: The WLG2-LDK43 is the appropriate substitute for the obsolete WLG2-LDK43-N. Both components share identical mechanical interfaces (side rotary roller actuator, chassis mount configuration) and electrical topology (SPDT circuit). The WLG2-LDK43 is currently in active production status, ensuring availability and supply chain continuity.

Compliance Advantage: The WLG2-LDK43 achieves RoHS compliance, whereas the WLG2-LDK43-N does not. For applications subject to RoHS regulations or environmental compliance requirements, the WLG2-LDK43 is the mandated choice.

Packaging Consideration: The WLG2-LDK43-N is supplied with connector termination, while the WLG2-LDK43 is available in bulk packaging. Verify termination requirements for your specific application before procurement.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the WLG2-LDK43 directly replace the WLG2-LDK43-N in existing installations? A: Yes. Both components share the same base product number (WLG2-LD), identical actuator type (side rotary roller), and mounting configuration (chassis mount). The mechanical and electrical interfaces are compatible.

Q: What is the primary reason to substitute the WLG2-LDK43-N? A: The WLG2-LDK43-N is obsolete and no longer manufactured. The WLG2-LDK43 provides functional equivalence with active production status and RoHS compliance.

Q: Are there differences in electrical performance between these parts? A: The WLG2-LDK43 specifies electrical ratings (5A AC, 400mA DC at 125V) and operational life (750,000 electrical cycles, 10,000,000 mechanical cycles). These specifications define the component's performance envelope for the active product.

Q: What packaging options are available? A: The WLG2-LDK43-N was supplied with cable and connector termination. The WLG2-LDK43 is available in bulk packaging. Confirm termination requirements with your supplier.

Q: Does the WLG2-LDK43 meet environmental sealing requirements? A: Yes. The WLG2-LDK43 is rated IP67 (dust tight, waterproof), providing equivalent environmental protection for sealed enclosure applications.

Q: Are both parts classified under the same export control regulations? A: Yes. Both the WLG2-LDK43-N and WLG2-LDK43 are classified as EAR99, indicating they are not subject to specific export licensing requirements.
