WLGCL-N Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The WLGCL-N is an Omron Automation and Safety limit switch classified as an obsolete product. As an obsolete component, direct replacement with active production equivalents is necessary for new designs, maintenance, and procurement continuity. The WLGCL-N remains available in inventory (915 Pcs New Original In Stock) but sourcing from active product lines is recommended for long-term supply chain reliability.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The WLGCL serves as the active production equivalent to the obsolete WLGCL-N. Substitution is valid based on the following alignment criteria:

• Manufacturer: Both parts are manufactured by Omron Automation and Safety
• Product Category: Both are limit switches
• Compliance & Certification: Identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS code (8536.50.9055)
• Moisture Sensitivity: Both rated MSL 1 (Unlimited)
• RoHS Status: WLGCL is RoHS Compliant
• Inventory Availability: WLGCL is Active with 782 Pcs in stock

The WLGCL provides complete functional coverage for WLGCL-N applications with documented electrical and mechanical specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For new designs and procurement, the WLGCL (Active) is the appropriate selection. The WLGCL-N is obsolete and should be phased out in favor of the active WLGCL variant. Both parts share identical compliance certifications (ECCN EAR99, HTSUS 8536.50.9055) and moisture sensitivity ratings (MSL 1). The WLGCL additionally carries RoHS Compliance certification, meeting modern regulatory requirements. Inventory availability for WLGCL (782 Pcs) supports immediate procurement for production and maintenance applications.
