H-133C-1-180 LED Holder T1 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The H-133C-1-180 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 material with a 0.310" (7.87mm) length and is classified as Active product status. The part is ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, indicating suitability for standard storage and handling conditions without moisture sensitivity constraints.

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent functional performance can be achieved through alternative materials, dimensions within acceptable tolerances, or different series offerings from the same manufacturer while maintaining core electrical and mechanical compatibility with T1 LED applications.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the H-133C-1-180 are qualified based on the following criteria:

Common Qualifying Parameters:

• LED Type: T1 (all substitutes maintain T1 compatibility)
• Color: Black (all substitutes are black)
• Mounting Style: Right angle vertical orientation
• Manufacturer: Bivar Inc. (all substitutes from same manufacturer)
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant (all substitutes meet compliance requirement)
• MSL Rating: 1 (Unlimited) (all substitutes have equivalent moisture sensitivity rating)
• Product Status: Active (all substitutes are active products)

Allowable Variation:

• Material: Nylon (original) to PVC (substitutes) — both are thermoplastic polymers suitable for LED standoff applications
• Length: 0.310" (7.87mm) original to 0.315" (8.00mm) or 0.320" (8.13mm) substitutes — dimensional tolerance within 0.010" acceptable for standoff height applications

The three identified substitutes (ELM 2-315, ELM 2-320, ELM 4-315) meet all core functional requirements while offering alternative material compositions and minor length variations.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Selection Criteria:

All three substitute parts maintain Active product status and ROHS3 compliance, ensuring long-term availability and regulatory conformance equivalent to the H-133C-1-180.

Material Consideration: The H-133C-1-180 uses nylon material, while all substitutes use PVC. Both materials are thermoplastic polymers suitable for LED standoff applications. Material selection between nylon and PVC should be based on specific application requirements not provided in this reference (such as temperature range, chemical exposure, or mechanical stress tolerance).

Dimensional Tolerance:

• ELM 2-315 and ELM 4-315 offer 0.315" (8.00mm) length, representing a +0.005" (0.127mm) increase from the original 0.310" specification
• ELM 2-320 offers 0.320" (8.13mm) length, representing a +0.010" (0.254mm) increase from the original specification

These dimensional variations fall within standard mechanical tolerances for LED standoff applications and do not affect T1 LED compatibility.

Inventory Availability: ELM 2-320 maintains the highest inventory level (26,182 pcs), followed by ELM 2-315 (7,562 pcs) and ELM 4-315 (4,972 pcs), compared to H-133C-1-180 (734 pcs).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ELM 2-315, ELM 2-320, and ELM 4-315 be used interchangeably with H-133C-1-180?

A: All three parts are functionally equivalent for T1 LED standoff applications. They share identical LED type, color, RoHS compliance, and MSL ratings. The primary differences are material composition (PVC vs. nylon) and length tolerance variations (±0.005" to ±0.010"). Interchangeability depends on application-specific requirements for material properties and dimensional tolerance that are not specified in this reference.

Q: What is the significance of the length difference between H-133C-1-180 (0.310") and the substitute parts?

A: The H-133C-1-180 measures 0.310" (7.87mm), while ELM 2-315 and ELM 4-315 measure 0.315" (8.00mm), and ELM 2-320 measures 0.320" (8.13mm). These variations represent standard manufacturing tolerances in LED standoff production. The length difference affects the vertical standoff distance of the LED from the mounting surface. Selection should account for PCB layout requirements and clearance specifications.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. H-133C-1-180, ELM 2-315, ELM 2-320, and ELM 4-315 are all ROHS3 compliant. This ensures regulatory conformance for applications subject to RoHS directives.

Q: What does MSL 1 (Unlimited) mean for these parts?

A: MSL 1 (Unlimited) indicates Moisture Sensitivity Level 1, the lowest moisture sensitivity classification. These parts do not require special moisture control during storage, handling, or shipping. Standard warehouse conditions are acceptable.

Q: Why are there three substitute options instead of one?

A: Multiple substitutes are provided to accommodate different series offerings (ELM 2 vs. ELM 4) and length specifications (0.315" vs. 0.320") from Bivar Inc. The ELM 2 series represents the primary substitute line, with ELM 2-315 and ELM 2-320 differing only in length. ELM 4-315 represents an alternative series with identical length to ELM 2-315. Selection depends on specific application requirements and design constraints.

Q: Is PVC material equivalent to nylon for LED standoff applications?

A: Both PVC and nylon are thermoplastic polymers used in LED standoff manufacturing. Material equivalence depends on application-specific requirements such as operating temperature range, chemical exposure, mechanical stress, and thermal cycling. This reference does not provide application-specific performance data for material comparison.

Q: What is the difference between ELM 2 and ELM 4 series?

A: Both ELM 2 and ELM 4 series are T1 LED standoff holders from Bivar Inc. with identical electrical and mechanical compatibility. The series designation reflects different product lines within the manufacturer's portfolio. Functional differences between series are not specified in the provided parameters.
