Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the WLGL-LE-N is based on functional equivalence within the Omron WL series limit switch family. The primary substitute part, WLGL-LE, shares the same manufacturer lineage and product category classification. Substitution eligibility is determined by the following criteria:

• Manufacturer: Omron Automation and Safety (same manufacturer ensures design compatibility)
• Product Category: Limit Switch (same functional class)
• Electrical Classification: HTSUS code 8536.50.9055 (identical tariff classification)
• Regulatory Compliance: ECCN EAR99 (same export control classification)
• Moisture Sensitivity: MSL 1 (Unlimited) (identical environmental rating)
• RoHS Status: Compliance maintained in active substitute

The WLGL-LE represents the active production equivalent within the same product family, providing direct functional replacement capability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The WLGL-LE serves as the active production substitute for the obsolete WLGL-LE-N. Selection between these parts is determined by availability and product lifecycle status:

• WLGL-LE-N: Suitable for applications where original part specifications are critical and existing inventory remains available (1128 units in stock). This part is obsolete and represents end-of-life status.

• WLGL-LE: The recommended substitute for new designs and ongoing procurement. This part maintains active production status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity. It carries RoHS compliance certification and identical regulatory classifications (ECCN EAR99, HTSUS 8536.50.9055, MSL 1).

Both parts share identical export control and tariff classifications, confirming regulatory equivalence. The WLGL-LE's active status and RoHS compliance make it the preferred choice for applications requiring sustained component availability and regulatory alignment with current manufacturing standards.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can WLGL-LE directly replace WLGL-LE-N in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both parts are manufactured by Omron Automation and Safety and share identical ECCN, HTSUS, and MSL classifications. The WLGL-LE is the active production equivalent within the WL series family.

Q: What is the primary difference between WLGL-LE-N and WLGL-LE?
