LED Standoff Holder 922-341 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Bivar Inc. 922-341 is a T1 LED standoff holder manufactured from black nylon with a 0.400" (10.16mm) length. This component functions as a mechanical support and positioning device for T1-format light-emitting diodes in electronic assemblies. The part maintains Active product status and is RoHS3 compliant. Substitute parts are identified when inventory constraints, lead time requirements, or design flexibility necessitate alternative mechanical configurations while maintaining functional compatibility with T1 LED applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute identification for the 922-341 is based on the following critical parameters:

Primary Compatibility Criteria:

• LED format: T1 (non-negotiable for mechanical fit)
• Color: Black (functional requirement for light isolation)
• RoHS3 compliance (regulatory requirement)
• MSL rating: 1 (storage compatibility)

Secondary Variation Allowance:

• Material: Nylon or PVC (both thermoplastic polymers with similar mechanical properties for standoff applications)
• Length tolerance: 0.390" to 0.400" (9.91mm to 10.16mm) represents acceptable variation within typical PCB design tolerances for standoff height

The substitute part ELM 5-390 meets all primary criteria and operates within acceptable secondary parameter ranges. The 0.010" (0.25mm) length difference falls within standard mechanical tolerance for LED standoff positioning in typical circuit board applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

922-341 Selection Criteria:

• Primary choice when nylon material properties are specified in design documentation
• Preferred for applications requiring maximum standoff height at 0.400" (10.16mm)
• Current inventory: 1153 pieces

ELM 5-390 Selection Criteria:

• Acceptable substitute when PVC material compatibility is confirmed in circuit design
• Suitable for applications where 0.390" (9.91mm) standoff height meets mechanical clearance requirements
• Current inventory: 2242 pieces
• Both parts maintain identical RoHS3 compliance and regulatory classification

Substitution Feasibility: Both parts are manufactured by Bivar Inc., share identical regulatory status (ROHS3, EAR99, HTSUS 3926.90.9985), and support T1 LED positioning. The material difference (nylon versus PVC) and 0.010" length variation represent acceptable engineering trade-offs within standard PCB design tolerances for LED standoff applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ELM 5-390 directly replace 922-341 in existing designs?

A: Direct substitution is feasible when the design accommodates the 0.390" (9.91mm) standoff height. Verify PCB layout clearance requirements and LED positioning specifications. Both parts support identical T1 LED formats and maintain equivalent regulatory compliance.

Q: What is the material difference between these parts?

A: The 922-341 uses nylon while the ELM 5-390 uses PVC. Both are thermoplastic polymers suitable for LED standoff applications. Material selection depends on specific environmental exposure, temperature range, and chemical resistance requirements in the target application.

Q: Are there any compliance differences?

A: No. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant, carry identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (3926.90.9985) classifications, and maintain MSL rating 1 (Unlimited). Regulatory and export requirements are equivalent.

Q: How significant is the 0.010" length difference?

A: The 0.010" (0.25mm) difference represents approximately 2.5% variation in standoff height. This falls within typical mechanical tolerances for LED positioning in standard PCB designs. Verify specific clearance requirements in circuit board layout documentation before substitution.

Q: What packaging format is used for both parts?

A: Both 922-341 and ELM 5-390 are supplied in bag packaging, suitable for standard component handling and storage procedures.

Q: Are there inventory considerations for substitution?

A: ELM 5-390 maintains higher current inventory (2242 pieces) compared to 922-341 (1153 pieces). Availability may influence substitution decisions in time-sensitive procurement scenarios.
