Equivalent & Substitute Parts for H-131C-2-160

Part Overview

The H-131C-2-160 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 0.290" (7.37mm) length specification. The part maintains Active product status and is ROHS3 compliant with unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1).

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters align with the main part specifications, enabling direct functional replacement in circuit board assemblies where LED mounting requirements are met.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the H-131C-2-160 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Primary Matching Criteria:

• LED Type: T1 (3mm LED compatibility)
• LED Positions: 2 LED mounting capability
• Color: Black
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant
• MSL Rating: 1 (Unlimited)

Secondary Consideration:

• Length tolerance: Parts with length specifications within the mechanical envelope of the application circuit board

The substitute parts ELM 2-285, H-101C, and H-101C-1 share the primary matching criteria. Length variations (0.285" versus 0.290") represent minor dimensional differences within the T1 LED standoff category and do not affect electrical function or mounting compatibility for standard PCB applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All substitute parts maintain Active product status and ROHS3 compliance, meeting regulatory requirements for equivalent component selection.

H-101C and H-101C-1: These nylon-based standoffs provide material consistency with the H-131C-2-160 main part. Both parts feature identical length (0.285"), LED type (T1), and mounting configuration (2 LED positions). H-101C offers the highest inventory availability at 22,132 pieces.

ELM 2-285: This substitute utilizes PVC material instead of nylon, representing a material variation while maintaining all electrical and functional parameters. PVC material selection may be appropriate for applications with specific environmental or thermal requirements. Inventory availability is 1,874 pieces.

Length differential (0.290" main part versus 0.285" substitutes) represents a 0.005" (0.13mm) reduction and does not impact standard PCB mounting applications where LED standoff height tolerance is typically ±0.010" or greater.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can H-101C replace H-131C-2-160 directly?

A: Yes. H-101C shares all critical parameters: T1 LED type, 2 LED positions, black color, nylon material, ROHS3 compliance, and MSL 1 rating. The 0.005" length difference does not affect functional compatibility in standard applications.

Q: What is the material difference between H-131C-2-160 and ELM 2-285?

A: H-131C-2-160 uses nylon material, while ELM 2-285 uses PVC material. Both materials are ROHS3 compliant and suitable for LED standoff applications. Material selection depends on application-specific environmental or thermal requirements.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. H-131C-2-160, ELM 2-285, H-101C, and H-101C-1 are all ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating.

Q: Which substitute part has the best inventory availability?

A: H-101C maintains the highest inventory level at 22,132 pieces, followed by H-101C-1 at 11,998 pieces and ELM 2-285 at 1,874 pieces.

Q: Do all parts use the same packaging?

A: Yes. All parts are supplied in Bag packaging format.

Q: What is the significance of the 0.005" length difference?

A: The length difference between H-131C-2-160 (0.290") and substitute parts (0.285") represents a minor dimensional variation within standard PCB assembly tolerances and does not affect electrical function or mechanical mounting compatibility.
