• Circuit configuration: SPDT (DB/DM)
• Actuator type: Side Rotary, Roller
• Mounting type: Chassis Mount
• Termination style: Screw Terminal
• Electrical ratings: 5A (AC), 400mA (DC), 125V (AC/DC)
• Ingress protection: IP67
• Operating temperature range: -40°C to 40°C
• Mechanical and electrical life specifications
• RoHS compliance and regulatory classifications

The identified substitute parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications while offering Active product status, ensuring continued availability and support.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both WLGCA2-2TC and WLGCA2-TC are suitable substitutes for the obsolete WLGCA2-TC-N based on complete electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence. Both substitute parts maintain Active product status, ensuring long-term availability and manufacturer support.

Selection between the two substitute options should be based on inventory availability and lead time requirements. Both parts carry identical RoHS compliance certification and regulatory classifications (ECCN: EAR99, HTSUS: 8536.50.9055), making them functionally interchangeable in applications currently utilizing the WLGCA2-TC-N.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can WLGCA2-2TC and WLGCA2-TC be used interchangeably with WLGCA2-TC-N?

A: Yes. Both substitute parts maintain identical electrical ratings (5A AC, 400mA DC, 125V AC/DC), mechanical specifications (operating force, travel angles, life cycles), and environmental protection (IP67). All three parts share the same SPDT circuit configuration, side rotary roller actuator, and chassis mount design.

Q: What is the primary difference between the substitute parts and the original WLGCA2-TC-N?

A: The primary difference is product status. WLGCA2-TC-N is Obsolete, while WLGCA2-2TC and WLGCA2-TC are Active. The substitute parts offer continued manufacturer support and guaranteed availability.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences?

A: No. All three parts share identical RoHS compliance status, MSL rating (1 - Unlimited), ECCN classification (EAR99), and HTSUS code (8536.50.9055).

Q: What parameters must remain constant for substitution?

A: Circuit configuration (SPDT), actuator type (side rotary roller), mounting method (chassis mount), termination style (screw terminal), electrical ratings (5A AC / 400mA DC / 125V), ingress protection (IP67), and operating temperature range (-40°C to 40°C) must all remain unchanged.

Q: Are there inventory considerations for selecting between substitute parts?

A: Yes. WLGCA2-TC has 778 units in stock, while WLGCA2-2TC has 718 units in stock. Selection should account for immediate availability requirements and project timelines.
