Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Why is the WLGCA2-139LE3-N 5M classified as obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates the manufacturer has discontinued production and support for this part number. Omron has transitioned this product line to newer models such as the WLGCA2-1395LE3, which maintains the same base product family while offering active support and availability.

Q: What are the key substitution criteria for limit switches in the WLGCA2 family?

A: Substitution is determined by: manufacturer alignment (Omron Automation and Safety), base product number (WLGCA2), regulatory classification (ECCN EAR99, HTSUS 8536.50.9055), and moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1). The substitute part must maintain these parameters to ensure functional and mechanical compatibility.

Q: Is the WLGCA2-1395LE3 a direct replacement for the WLGCA2-139LE3-N 5M?

A: The WLGCA2-1395LE3 shares the same manufacturer, base product number, regulatory classifications, and MSL rating. However, detailed electrical and mechanical specifications for the main part are not provided in the available documentation. Verification of circuit configuration, current ratings, voltage ratings, and mounting specifications against your application requirements is necessary before final selection.

Q: What is the difference in product status between these parts?

A: The WLGCA2-139LE3-N 5M is Obsolete, meaning production has ended and support is limited. The WLGCA2-1395LE3 is Active, ensuring ongoing manufacturing, technical support, and supply chain availability.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between the two parts?

A: Both parts share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.50.9055) classifications. The substitute part is explicitly RoHS Compliant, meeting current environmental standards. Both maintain MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity classification.

Q: What packaging and inventory considerations apply?

A: The main part WLGCA2-139LE3-N 5M has 655 pieces in new original stock. The substitute part WLGCA2-1395LE3 has 854 pieces in new original stock, providing greater availability for procurement planning.
