Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Obsolete Part Replacement: The WLMGCA2-LD-M1J is the direct substitute for WLMGCA2-LD-M1J-N. Both parts share identical regulatory classifications (ECCN, HTSUS) and environmental handling requirements (MSL 1), confirming functional and compliance equivalence.

For New Designs and Long-Term Availability: The WLMGCA2-LD-M1J is recommended due to its active product status and RoHS compliance certification. This ensures continued availability and alignment with current environmental regulations.

Inventory Considerations: Both parts maintain adequate stock levels. The obsolete variant (1057 Pcs) provides immediate availability, while the active substitute (863 Pcs) ensures future procurement viability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can WLMGCA2-LD-M1J be used as a direct replacement for WLMGCA2-LD-M1J-N?

A: Yes. Both parts share the same base product number (WLMGCA2), identical regulatory classifications (ECCN EAR99, HTSUS 8536.50.9055), and matching moisture sensitivity levels (MSL 1). The primary difference is product status: the original is obsolete while the substitute is active.

Q: What is the difference between the "-N" suffix and the non-suffixed variant?

A: The "-N" suffix designates the obsolete variant. The WLMGCA2-LD-M1J without the "-N" suffix is the active production equivalent. Both maintain identical regulatory and environmental specifications.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: Packaging information is not specified in the technical data for either variant. Confirm packaging requirements with the supplier before procurement.

Q: Is the substitute part RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The WLMGCA2-LD-M1J is certified RoHS Compliant. RoHS status for the obsolete variant (WLMGCA2-LD-M1J-N) is not specified in available documentation.

Q: What electrical specifications apply to the substitute part?

A: The WLMGCA2-LD-M1J is rated for 5A AC at 125V and 400mA DC at 125V, with SPDT (DB/DM) circuit configuration and On-Mom switch function. Detailed mechanical specifications including operating force (1360gf), pretravel (5°), and operating temperature range (-10°C to 80°C) are documented in the product datasheet.
