Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the H-130C-2-180 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Primary Compatibility Criteria:

LED Type: T1 (fixed requirement)
Lead Configuration: 2-Lead (fixed requirement)
Color: Black (fixed requirement)
Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) (fixed requirement)
ECCN Classification: EAR99 (fixed requirement)

Secondary Compatibility Criteria:

Length: 0.310" (7.87mm) nominal, with tolerance allowance for parametric equivalents within ±0.015" (±0.38mm)
Material: Nylon (primary) or PVC (acceptable alternative for equivalent function)

Substitute parts are grouped into two categories:

Category 1 - Direct Substitutes (Same Series): H-130C-1-180 maintains identical specifications with active product status and improved RoHS compliance documentation.

Category 2 - Parametric Equivalents (ELM Series): ELM 2-310 and ELM 2-8MM provide identical length (0.310"/7.87mm) with PVC material substitution. ELM 2-305, ELM 2-315, ELM 2-320, and ELM 2-325 offer length variations within acceptable tolerance range. ELM 4-300 provides similar dimensional compatibility within tolerance specifications.

All substitute parts maintain T1 LED compatibility, 2-lead configuration, black color, MSL 1 rating, and EAR99 classification.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Recommendation: H-130C-1-180

H-130C-1-180 is the preferred direct substitute for H-130C-2-180. This part maintains identical mechanical and electrical specifications while offering active product status and ROHS3 compliance certification. The nylon material composition matches the original specification, ensuring equivalent mechanical performance and environmental resistance. Current inventory of 782 pieces supports immediate procurement requirements.

Secondary Recommendation: ELM 2-310 or ELM 2-8MM

Both ELM 2-310 and ELM 2-8MM provide exact length matching (0.310"/7.87mm) with active product status and ROHS3 compliance. The material substitution from nylon to PVC maintains functional compatibility for T1 LED standoff applications. ELM 2-310 offers 750 pieces in inventory; ELM 2-8MM provides 1,037 pieces. These options are suitable when nylon material is not a critical design requirement.

Tertiary Recommendations: ELM 2-305, ELM 2-315, ELM 2-320, ELM 2-325, ELM 4-300

These parts provide length variations within acceptable tolerance range (±0.015" from nominal 0.310"). Selection among these options depends on specific PCB layout and LED mounting height requirements. ELM 2-320 offers the highest inventory availability (26,182 pieces) and is suitable for applications where slight height increase is acceptable. ELM 2-315 (7,562 pieces) and ELM 2-305 (938 pieces) provide closer dimensional matching with reduced height variation.

All recommended substitutes maintain T1 LED compatibility, 2-lead configuration, black color, MSL 1 rating, and EAR99 export classification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Can H-130C-1-180 be used as a direct replacement for H-130C-2-180?

Yes. H-130C-1-180 is a direct substitute with identical specifications: T1 LED type, 0.310" (7.87mm) length, black nylon material, 2-lead configuration, and MSL 1 rating. The primary advantage is active product status and documented ROHS3 compliance, compared to the obsolete status of H-130C-2-180.

Q2: What is the difference between nylon and PVC material options in the ELM series?

Both nylon and PVC materials are suitable for T1 LED standoff applications. PVC offers improved chemical resistance and lower moisture absorption, while nylon provides slightly higher mechanical rigidity. For standard LED mounting applications, both materials are functionally equivalent. Material selection should be based on specific environmental exposure requirements.

Q3: Are ELM 2-305, ELM 2-315, ELM 2-320, and ELM 2-325 interchangeable with H-130C-2-180?

These parts are parametric equivalents with length variations: ELM 2-305 (0.305"/7.75mm), ELM 2-315 (0.315"/8.00mm), ELM 2-320 (0.320"/8.13mm), and ELM 2-325 (0.325"/8.26mm). They maintain T1 LED compatibility and 2-lead configuration. Interchangeability depends on PCB layout tolerance and LED mounting height requirements. Verify that the length variation does not exceed design specifications before substitution.

Q4: What is the maximum acceptable length variation for substitution?

Based on provided specifications, length variations within ±0.015" (±0.38mm) from the nominal 0.310" (7.87mm) specification are considered parametric equivalents. This encompasses ELM 2-295 through ELM 2-325 and ELM 4-300. Verify specific design requirements before selecting parts outside this range.

Q5: Which substitute part offers the best inventory availability?

ELM 2-320 provides the highest inventory level with 26,182 pieces in stock. This part offers 0.320" (8.13mm) length, representing a +0.010" (0.25mm) increase from the original specification. ELM 2-315 (7,562 pieces) and ELM 2-310 (750 pieces) provide closer dimensional matching with adequate inventory levels.

Q6: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

Yes. All recommended substitute parts (H-130C-1-180, ELM 2 series, and ELM 4 series) are documented as ROHS3 compliant. The original H-130C-2-180 has vendor-undefined RoHS status. Substitution to any recommended part improves regulatory compliance documentation.

Q7: Do substitute parts maintain the same ECCN classification?

Yes. All substitute parts maintain EAR99 ECCN classification, identical to the original H-130C-2-180. No export control changes result from substitution to any recommended equivalent part.

Q8: What packaging options are available for substitute parts?

H-130C-1-180 is supplied in bag packaging. All ELM series parts (ELM 2 and ELM 4 series) are supplied in bag packaging. Verify packaging requirements for your procurement and assembly processes.
