H-130C-1-180 LED Holder Equivalent and Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The H-130C-1-180 is a T1 LED standoff holder manufactured by Bivar Inc., designed to secure and position 3mm LEDs in vertical mounting applications. The part features black nylon construction with a 0.310" (7.87mm) standoff height. This component maintains Active product status and is fully compliant with ROHS3 standards. Equivalent and substitute parts become necessary when the primary specification requires alternative materials, dimensional tolerances, or when sourcing availability necessitates selection of functionally compatible alternatives that meet the same electrical and mechanical interface requirements.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the H-130C-1-180 are qualified based on the following critical parameters that determine electrical and mechanical compatibility:

Required Matching Parameters:

• LED Type: T1 (consistent 3mm LED accommodation)
• Color: Black (maintains assembly aesthetics and light-blocking properties)
• Mounting Orientation: Right angle vertical standoff configuration
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant (regulatory requirement)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: MSL 1 (Unlimited) (environmental tolerance)

Allowable Variations:

• Material: Nylon or PVC (both acceptable thermoplastic materials for LED standoff applications)
• Standoff Height: 0.310" to 0.320" (8.13mm maximum, accommodating standard PCB spacing tolerances and LED lead clearance specifications)

The three substitute parts—ELM 2-315, ELM 2-320, and ELM 4-315—meet all required matching parameters while introducing material substitution (PVC for Nylon) and minor dimensional variations within acceptable mechanical tolerance ranges.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All substitute parts maintain Active product status and ROHS3 compliance, ensuring continued regulatory alignment and ongoing manufacturer support. Selection among the three substitute options should account for standoff height requirements and material specifications relevant to the application environment.

ELM 2-315 and ELM 4-315 provide identical standoff height (0.315", 8.00mm) but differ in series designation and HTSUS classification, indicating distinct mechanical configuration or application focus within the Bivar product line. ELM 2-320 offers the maximum allowable standoff height (0.320", 8.13mm) within the substitute group, accommodating applications requiring greater vertical clearance or LED lead positioning.

The material transition from Nylon to PVC across all substitutes introduces different thermal and chemical resistance characteristics. Both materials maintain equivalent electrical properties for LED standoff applications and support MSL 1 environmental ratings. Compliance certifications and inventory availability should guide final component selection.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ELM 2-315, ELM 2-320, and ELM 4-315 be used interchangeably with H-130C-1-180?

A: These parts are electrical and mechanical equivalents for T1 LED standoff applications. Substitution is permissible when the application design accommodates a material change from Nylon to PVC and the standoff height variation from 0.310" to 0.315" or 0.320" is within acceptable mechanical tolerance.

Q: What is the significance of the material difference between Nylon and PVC?

A: Both Nylon and PVC are thermoplastic materials suitable for LED standoff applications. Material selection affects thermal expansion characteristics, chemical resistance, and mechanical rigidity. The specific material choice depends on the application environment and assembly process requirements.

Q: Are there dimensional compatibility concerns with the 0.005" to 0.010" height variation among substitutes?

A: Standoff height variations of this magnitude are standard mechanical tolerances in LED mounting applications. Compatibility depends on PCB layout design and LED lead slack accommodation. Verify that your assembly design permits the substitute standoff height before selection.

Q: Do all substitute parts share identical RoHS and MSL certifications?

A: Yes. All substitute parts carry ROHS3 Compliant status and MSL 1 (Unlimited) ratings, matching the original H-130C-1-180 component and maintaining equivalent regulatory and environmental performance.

Q: What factors should determine which substitute to select?

A: Selection criteria include required standoff height, material preference relative to application environment, component series requirements for your supply chain or design documentation, and current inventory availability from your supplier.
