Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the WR11AL/V is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Circuit configuration (SPST)
• Current rating (15A AC/DC)
• Voltage ratings (125V AC / 30V DC)
• Mounting type (Panel Mount, Snap-In)
• Panel cutout dimensions (Rectangular - 34.20mm x 17.20mm)
• Actuator type (Concave/Curved)
• Termination style (Wire Leads)
• Ingress protection rating (IP67)
• Operating temperature range (-25°C to 85°C)
• Approval certifications (EN, UL)

The WR11AL is a direct substitute for the WR11AL/V, maintaining identical electrical performance and mechanical compatibility while offering active product status and improved availability.
