Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The WLG2-RP55-N can be substituted with the WLG2-RP55, which shares the same manufacturer (Omron Automation and Safety) and base product family (WLG2-RP series). The substitution is valid based on the following criteria:

• Same manufacturer and product series lineage
• Identical MSL rating (1 - Unlimited)
• Matching ECCN and HTSUS classifications
• Active product status of the substitute part
• RoHS compliance maintained in the substitute

The WLG2-RP55 represents the active variant within the same product family, making it the direct functional equivalent for the obsolete WLG2-RP55-N.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The WLG2-RP55 is the appropriate substitute for the obsolete WLG2-RP55-N based on the following factors:

• Both parts maintain identical MSL ratings, ensuring equivalent moisture handling characteristics
• Regulatory classifications (ECCN and HTSUS) are identical, supporting direct substitution in controlled environments
• The WLG2-RP55 holds active product status with confirmed RoHS compliance, meeting current manufacturing and environmental standards
• Shared manufacturer and series designation provide supply chain continuity and design compatibility

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the WLG2-RP55 directly replace the WLG2-RP55-N in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical MSL ratings, ECCN classifications, and HTSUS codes. The WLG2-RP55 is the active equivalent within the same product family.

Q: What is the significance of the obsolete status of the WLG2-RP55-N?

A: Obsolete status indicates that the manufacturer has discontinued production and support. The WLG2-RP55 provides continuity for new procurement and system redesigns.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: Packaging information is not specified in the technical data for either part. Verify packaging requirements with the manufacturer or distributor for your specific application.

Q: Does the WLG2-RP55 meet current compliance requirements?

A: Yes. The WLG2-RP55 is RoHS compliant and maintains the same regulatory classifications as the original part.

Q: What parameters determine substitution validity for these limit switches?

A: Substitution is determined by matching MSL rating, ECCN classification, HTSUS code, and manufacturer series lineage. These parameters ensure functional and regulatory equivalence.
