Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the WLGCAL4-N is determined by the following criteria:

• Identical manufacturer (Omron Automation and Safety)
• Matching product category (Limit Switch)
• Equivalent moisture sensitivity classification (MSL 1 - Unlimited)
• Identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications
• Shared base product number (WLGCAL4 series)

The WLGCAL4-2 satisfies all substitution parameters and represents the active equivalent within the WLGCAL4 product family.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The WLGCAL4-2 is the qualified substitute for the WLGCAL4-N based on the following factors:

• Both components share identical electrical and mechanical classification parameters (MSL, ECCN, HTSUS)
• The WLGCAL4-2 maintains active product status, ensuring continued availability and manufacturing support
• The WLGCAL4-2 carries RoHS Compliance certification, meeting current environmental regulatory requirements
• Both components are available in new original stock condition

For applications requiring the WLGCAL4-N, transition to the WLGCAL4-2 is supported by parameter equivalence and regulatory compliance alignment.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the WLGCAL4-2 directly replace the WLGCAL4-N in existing applications?

A: Yes. Both components share identical MSL, ECCN, and HTSUS classifications, which are the primary substitution criteria for limit switches in this product family. The WLGCAL4-2 is the active equivalent within the WLGCAL4 series.

Q: What is the significance of the product status difference (Obsolete vs. Active)?

A: The WLGCAL4-N is classified as obsolete, indicating discontinued manufacturing. The WLGCAL4-2 maintains active status, ensuring ongoing manufacturing support, availability, and compliance with current regulatory standards.

Q: Does RoHS Compliance affect substitution compatibility?

A: RoHS Compliance is an environmental regulatory attribute. The WLGCAL4-2 carries this certification while the WLGCAL4-N specification does not include this designation. For applications subject to RoHS requirements, the WLGCAL4-2 provides regulatory alignment.

Q: Are packaging specifications identical between these components?

A: Packaging information is not specified in the available technical data for either component. Verify packaging requirements with the component supplier or technical documentation before procurement.

Q: What inventory considerations apply to component selection?

A: The WLGCAL4-N has 1042 Pcs available in new original stock. The WLGCAL4-2 has 760 Pcs available. Both components are currently in stock; however, the active status of the WLGCAL4-2 provides assurance of continued availability beyond current inventory levels.
