H-202C-1 LED Holder Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The H-202C-1 is a T1 LED standoff holder manufactured by Bivar Inc., designed for right-angle mounting of 3mm LEDs. This component features a black nylon construction with a 0.380" (9.65mm) length and accommodates two-lead configurations. The part maintains Active product status and is RoHS3 compliant with MSL Level 1 rating, indicating unlimited moisture sensitivity tolerance.

Equivalent and substitute parts are identified to support procurement flexibility, inventory optimization, and supply chain continuity when the primary part number becomes unavailable or when design specifications permit alternative materials or dimensions within defined tolerances.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the H-202C-1 is determined by the following critical parameters: LED type (T1), lead configuration (2LD), color (Black), and RoHS3 compliance. Length tolerance and material composition (Nylon vs. PVC) define secondary substitution categories.

Primary Equivalents (Identical Specifications): Parts matching all critical parameters including T1 type, 2LD configuration, 0.380" length, black color, and nylon material.

Secondary Equivalents (Material Variation): Parts with identical dimensional and electrical specifications but substituting PVC material for nylon. These maintain T1 type, 2LD configuration, and black color while varying length within acceptable tolerance ranges (0.365" to 0.390").

All substitute parts maintain RoHS3 compliance and MSL Level 1 rating, ensuring regulatory and environmental compatibility with the primary part.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

H-201C: This part is the primary equivalent for H-202C-1, matching all specifications including nylon material, 0.380" length, and T1 LED type. Both parts maintain identical RoHS3 compliance and MSL Level 1 ratings. Selection of H-201C is appropriate when H-202C-1 availability is constrained. Current inventory of 63,104 units supports high-volume applications.

ELM 5-390: This substitute maintains T1 type, 2LD configuration, and black color with PVC material composition. Length specification of 0.390" (9.91mm) represents a +0.010" variance from the primary part. ELM 5-390 is suitable for applications where material substitution from nylon to PVC is acceptable and dimensional tolerance permits the increased length. RoHS3 compliance and MSL Level 1 rating are maintained.

ELM 2-365: This substitute maintains T1 type, 2LD configuration, and black color with PVC material composition. Length specification of 0.365" (9.27mm) represents a −0.015" variance from the primary part. ELM 2-365 is suitable for applications where material substitution from nylon to PVC is acceptable and dimensional tolerance permits the reduced length. Current inventory of 16,125 units provides availability for sustained procurement. RoHS3 compliance and MSL Level 1 rating are maintained.

All substitute parts carry Active product status, confirming ongoing manufacturer support and supply continuity.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can H-201C be used as a direct replacement for H-202C-1?

A: Yes. H-201C matches all critical specifications of H-202C-1, including T1 LED type, 0.380" length, black nylon material, 2LD configuration, and right-angle mounting. Both parts are RoHS3 compliant with MSL Level 1 rating and Active product status.

Q: What is the difference between nylon and PVC material options in the substitute parts?

A: The primary part H-202C-1 and equivalent H-201C use nylon material. Substitutes ELM 5-390 and ELM 2-365 use PVC material. Both materials are suitable for LED standoff applications and maintain RoHS3 compliance. Material selection depends on application-specific requirements for thermal properties, chemical resistance, or mechanical characteristics.

Q: Are there dimensional tolerances between the substitute parts?

A: Yes. H-202C-1 and H-201C specify 0.380" (9.65mm) length. ELM 5-390 specifies 0.390" (9.91mm), representing a +0.010" increase. ELM 2-365 specifies 0.365" (9.27mm), representing a −0.015" decrease. Design specifications must confirm whether these dimensional variations are acceptable for the intended application.

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

A: Yes. All parts listed—H-202C-1, H-201C, ELM 5-390, and ELM 2-365—are RoHS3 compliant with MSL Level 1 (Unlimited) rating. ELM series parts additionally carry REACH Unaffected status.

Q: What inventory levels support procurement decisions?

A: H-202C-1 maintains 817 units in stock. H-201C provides 63,104 units, offering substantial availability. ELM 5-390 provides 2,242 units. ELM 2-365 provides 16,125 units. Inventory levels should be evaluated against project lead times and volume requirements.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in PCB assembly?

A: Interchangeability depends on design specifications. All parts accommodate T1 LEDs with 2LD configuration in right-angle mounting. Dimensional variations (length tolerance of ±0.015") and material differences (nylon vs. PVC) must be evaluated against specific PCB layout, thermal requirements, and mechanical constraints of the application.
