Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The WLG2-P1-N is directly substitutable by the WLG2-P1 based on the following alignment of critical parameters:

Substitution Criteria:

• Identical manufacturer (Omron Automation and Safety)
• Same product series (WL series)
• Matching electrical classification (limit switch, SPDT configuration)
• Identical moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1 - Unlimited)
• Identical export control classification (ECCN: EAR99)
• Identical tariff classification (HTSUS: 8536.50.9055)
• Active product status of substitute ensures ongoing availability and support

The WLG2-P1 represents the active production equivalent of the obsolete WLG2-P1-N, maintaining functional and regulatory compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For applications currently using the obsolete WLG2-P1-N, the WLG2-P1 is the direct equivalent substitute. Selection is based on:

• Product Status Alignment: The WLG2-P1 maintains active production status, ensuring supply chain continuity and technical support availability.
• Regulatory Compliance: Both parts share identical export control (ECCN: EAR99) and tariff classifications (HTSUS: 8536.50.9055), eliminating compliance complications in component substitution.
• Moisture Sensitivity: Identical MSL rating (1 - Unlimited) confirms compatibility across storage, handling, and operational environments.
• Manufacturer Continuity: Both parts are manufactured by Omron Automation and Safety, ensuring design consistency and quality standards.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the WLG2-P1 directly replace the WLG2-P1-N in existing installations?
