H-202C LED Holder Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The H-202C 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 measures 0.380" (9.65mm) in length. The part maintains Active product status and is RoHS3 compliant with MSL 1 rating, indicating unlimited moisture sensitivity protection.

Equivalent and substitute parts are identified when component availability changes, supply chain disruptions occur, or design revisions require alternative materials or dimensions within acceptable engineering tolerances. The H-202C has documented substitutes that maintain functional compatibility for T1 LED mounting applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the H-202C is determined by the following critical parameters:

LED Type Compatibility: All substitute parts must support T1 LED mounting. This is the primary functional requirement.

Dimensional Tolerance: Length measurements of 0.365" to 0.390" fall within acceptable mechanical substitution range for T1 LED standoff applications. The H-202C reference length is 0.380" (9.65mm).

Material Compatibility: Both nylon and PVC materials are acceptable for LED holder construction in this product category. Material substitution does not affect electrical performance or mechanical fit for T1 LEDs.

Color Specification: All substitute parts are black, maintaining visual consistency with the original specification.

Compliance Requirements: All substitute parts maintain RoHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating, ensuring regulatory and environmental performance equivalence.

Packaging Format: All parts are supplied in bag packaging, maintaining supply chain consistency.

The three identified substitutes (H-201C, ELM 5-390, ELM 2-365) meet all critical parameters and are classified as parametric equivalents for T1 LED standoff applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

H-201C Selection: This part is dimensionally identical to the H-202C (0.380" length) and uses the same nylon material. H-201C is the closest functional equivalent with 63,104 units in stock, providing maximum supply availability. Selection of H-201C eliminates dimensional variation while maintaining material consistency.

ELM 5-390 Selection: This substitute introduces a 0.010" (0.25mm) length increase to 0.390" (9.91mm) and substitutes PVC material for nylon. ELM 5-390 remains within acceptable mechanical tolerance for T1 LED standoff applications. This part carries 2,242 units in stock and maintains full RoHS3 and MSL 1 compliance.

ELM 2-365 Selection: This substitute introduces a 0.015" (0.38mm) length decrease to 0.365" (9.27mm) and substitutes PVC material for nylon. ELM 2-365 remains within acceptable mechanical tolerance for T1 LED standoff applications. This part carries the highest inventory level at 16,125 units in stock and maintains full RoHS3 and MSL 1 compliance.

All three substitutes maintain Active product status and full regulatory compliance. Selection should prioritize dimensional requirements of the specific application, with material substitution (nylon to PVC) acceptable where mechanical fit permits.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can H-201C be used as a direct replacement for H-202C?

A: Yes. H-201C is dimensionally and materially identical to H-202C, both measuring 0.380" (9.65mm) in length and constructed from black nylon. Both support T1 LED mounting and maintain identical compliance certifications.

Q: What is the dimensional tolerance range for T1 LED standoff substitution?

A: The documented substitutes range from 0.365" to 0.390" in length. This 0.025" (0.64mm) total range represents the acceptable mechanical tolerance for T1 LED standoff holder substitution in this product category.

Q: Are PVC and nylon materials interchangeable in these LED holders?

A: Both materials are acceptable for T1 LED standoff construction. Material selection does not affect electrical performance or mechanical fit for T1 LEDs. Selection depends on application-specific environmental or mechanical requirements not specified in this reference.

Q: Do all substitute parts maintain the same compliance ratings?

A: Yes. All substitute parts (H-201C, ELM 5-390, ELM 2-365) are RoHS3 compliant with MSL 1 rating, matching the H-202C compliance profile.

Q: Which substitute part has the highest inventory availability?

A: ELM 2-365 carries 16,125 units in stock, the highest inventory level among all documented substitutes. H-201C carries 63,104 units. ELM 5-390 carries 2,242 units.

Q: What is the primary difference between ELM 5-390 and ELM 2-365?

A: ELM 5-390 measures 0.390" (9.91mm) in length, while ELM 2-365 measures 0.365" (9.27mm). Both use PVC material instead of nylon. The length difference of 0.025" (0.64mm) represents the dimensional range of acceptable substitution for T1 LED standoff applications.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in production?

A: Substitution is permitted within the documented parameter ranges. Dimensional variation (0.365" to 0.390") and material substitution (nylon to PVC) are acceptable for T1 LED standoff applications. Specific application requirements should determine final part selection.
