LED Holder H-175C Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The H-175C is an active T1 3/4 LED standoff holder manufactured by Bivar Inc., designed for 5mm LED applications. This component is a black nylon standoff that provides mechanical support and positioning for LED assemblies in electronic equipment. The H-175C maintains an active product status with full ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1).

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters align with the original specification, enabling direct functional replacement in applications where the primary part is unavailable or when inventory constraints require alternative sourcing.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the H-175C are identified based on strict parameter matching across the following critical dimensions:

Primary Matching Criteria:

• LED Type: T1 3/4 (5mm standard)
• Color: Black
• RoHS3 Compliance: Required
• MSL Rating: 1 (Unlimited)
• Product Status: Active

Secondary Consideration:

• Length tolerance within application requirements
• Material composition (nylon or equivalent polymer)

The substitute parts ELM 1-350 and ELM 3-335 share identical LED type, color, RoHS compliance, and MSL ratings. Both are manufactured by Bivar Inc. and maintain active product status. Material variation (PVC vs. Nylon) and minor length differences (0.350" vs. 0.335") represent the only parametric deviations and must be evaluated against specific application mechanical constraints.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

ELM 1-350 Selection Criteria: ELM 1-350 provides direct dimensional equivalence to H-175C with identical 0.350" (8.89mm) length specification. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and unlimited MSL rating. The material substitution from nylon to PVC does not affect compliance certifications. This part is suitable for applications where the original H-175C length dimension is critical and material composition flexibility exists.

ELM 3-335 Selection Criteria: ELM 3-335 shares all critical compliance parameters (ROHS3, MSL 1, Active status) but introduces a 0.015" (0.38mm) length reduction (0.335" vs. 0.350"). This dimensional variance requires evaluation against specific PCB layout and mechanical assembly constraints. Material composition is PVC. This part is suitable for applications where the reduced standoff height accommodates design requirements.

Common Selection Basis: All three parts (H-175C, ELM 1-350, ELM 3-335) are manufactured by Bivar Inc., maintain active product status, and carry ROHS3 compliance with unlimited moisture sensitivity rating. Selection between these parts depends on specific application requirements regarding standoff height and material composition tolerance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ELM 1-350 directly replace H-175C in all applications? A: ELM 1-350 matches H-175C across all critical parameters including LED type (T1 3/4), length (0.350"), color (black), and compliance ratings (ROHS3, MSL 1). The material change from nylon to PVC does not affect electrical or mechanical function for standard LED holder applications. Direct substitution is valid where material composition flexibility exists.

Q: What is the impact of the 0.015" length difference between H-175C and ELM 3-335? A: ELM 3-335 provides 0.335" (8.51mm) standoff height compared to H-175C's 0.350" (8.89mm). This 0.38mm reduction affects LED positioning height on the PCB. Substitution is valid only when the reduced standoff height accommodates circuit board layout and component clearance requirements.

Q: Are all three parts ROHS3 compliant? A: Yes. H-175C, ELM 1-350, and ELM 3-335 all carry ROHS3 compliance certification. All three parts maintain MSL 1 (unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating.

Q: What is the difference between nylon and PVC material in these LED holders? A: H-175C uses nylon material, while ELM 1-350 and ELM 3-335 use PVC. Both materials are suitable for LED holder applications and maintain equivalent compliance certifications. Material selection depends on specific application requirements regarding thermal properties, chemical resistance, or mechanical characteristics.

Q: Are these parts available in different packaging options? A: All three parts are supplied in bag packaging. No alternative packaging formats are specified in the current product data.

Q: What inventory levels are available for each part? A: H-175C has 766 pieces in stock. ELM 1-350 has 12,862 pieces in stock. ELM 3-335 has 14,653 pieces in stock. Substitute parts offer significantly higher inventory availability.
