H-103C LED Holder Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The H-103C is a T1 LED standoff holder manufactured by Bivar Inc., designed for right-angle mounting of 3mm LEDs. This component is constructed from black nylon and features a 0.285" (7.24mm) length specification. The part maintains Active product status and is ROHS3 compliant with unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1).

Equivalent and substitute parts are identified when they share identical or functionally compatible electrical and mechanical parameters, including LED type, mounting orientation, physical dimensions, color, and regulatory compliance status.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the H-103C is determined by the following critical parameters:

Primary Matching Criteria:

• LED type: T1
• Physical length: 0.285" (7.24mm)
• Color: Black
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3 Compliant
• MSL rating: 1 (Unlimited)
• Product status: Active

Material Consideration: The H-103C is constructed from nylon. Substitute parts may utilize alternative materials (such as PVC) provided all other electrical and mechanical parameters remain equivalent. Material substitution is permissible when dimensional and functional specifications are identical.

Three substitute parts meet these criteria: ELM 2-285, H-101C, and H-101C-1. All three parts share identical LED type, length, color, and regulatory compliance specifications with the main part.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All substitute parts (ELM 2-285, H-101C, H-101C-1) are qualified equivalents for the H-103C based on matching electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection among these parts should be based on the following factors:

Inventory Availability:

• H-101C: 22,132 pcs in stock
• H-101C-1: 11,998 pcs in stock
• ELM 2-285: 1,874 pcs in stock
• H-103C: 740 pcs in stock

Material Specification: H-101C and H-101C-1 utilize nylon construction, identical to the H-103C. ELM 2-285 uses PVC material. Material selection should align with application requirements and environmental conditions.

Regulatory Compliance: All parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and unlimited MSL rating, suitable for standard industrial and commercial applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ELM 2-285 be used as a direct replacement for H-103C?

A: Yes. ELM 2-285 meets all critical substitution parameters: T1 LED type, 0.285" (7.24mm) length, black color, ROHS3 compliance, and MSL 1 rating. The material difference (PVC vs. nylon) does not affect functional compatibility when application conditions are standard.

Q: What is the difference between H-101C and H-101C-1?

A: Both parts share identical specifications: T1 LED type, 0.285" (7.24mm) length, black nylon construction, ROHS3 compliance, and MSL 1 rating. The designation suffix "-1" indicates a variant within the same base product series (H-101). Both are functionally equivalent to H-103C.

Q: Are there any material compatibility concerns when substituting H-103C with ELM 2-285?

A: H-103C uses nylon while ELM 2-285 uses PVC. Both materials are suitable for standard LED holder applications. Material selection should be confirmed against specific application requirements, including temperature range, chemical exposure, and mechanical stress conditions.

Q: Which substitute part has the highest inventory availability?

A: H-101C maintains the highest inventory level at 22,132 pieces in stock, followed by H-101C-1 at 11,998 pieces.

Q: Do all substitute parts carry the same regulatory certifications?

A: Yes. All substitute parts (ELM 2-285, H-101C, H-101C-1) are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, matching the H-103C specifications.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in production?

A: Yes, provided the application does not impose specific material requirements. All parts meet identical dimensional, electrical, and compliance specifications for T1 LED standoff mounting.
