H-203C-1 LED Standoff Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The H-203C-1 is a T1 LED standoff component manufactured by Bivar Inc. in black nylon with a 0.380" (9.65mm) length, designed for 3MM LED mounting applications. This part is currently Active and ROHS3 compliant. Identifying equivalent substitute parts is necessary when primary inventory becomes constrained, when alternative material compositions are required for specific application environments, or when compatible dimensions from the same manufacturer can fulfill identical functional requirements.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the H-203C-1 is determined by the following critical parameters: LED size category (T1), physical length within acceptable tolerance, color consistency (black), RoHS compliance status, and moisture sensitivity classification. The substitute parts listed below satisfy these core requirements through two distinct groupings:

Group 1 - Nylon Material Match (Identical Material Composition): H-201C maintains identical specifications: T1 LED size, 0.380" (9.65mm) length, black nylon construction, ROHS3 compliance, and MSL 1 rating. This substitute provides direct functional and material equivalence.

Group 2 - PVC Material Alternative (Alternate Elastomer Base): ELM 5-390 and ELM 2-365 substitute using PVC material instead of nylon while maintaining T1 LED compatibility, black color, ROHS3 compliance, and MSL 1 rating. These parts are functionally equivalent within the allowed length variance for this product category.

Allowed Variance Parameters:

• LED Size: T1 (fixed)
• Color: Black (fixed)
• Length Tolerance: 0.365" to 0.390" (accommodates ELM 2-365, H-203C-1, and ELM 5-390)
• Material: Nylon or PVC (both acceptable elastomer bases)
• RoHS & MSL Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant, MSL 1 (required for all substitutes)

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All listed substitute parts (H-201C, ELM 5-390, ELM 2-365) maintain Active product status and full ROHS3 compliance, ensuring continuity of supply chain compliance and regulatory adherence. H-201C provides direct equivalence as a nylon-based substitute with identical dimensions and material composition to the primary part. ELM 5-390 and ELM 2-365 are functionally equivalent alternatives constructed from PVC material; selection between these options depends on application-specific material requirements and the acceptable length variance within the mechanical assembly constraints of the end application. All four parts share identical LED size compatibility (T1), moisture sensitivity classification (MSL 1), and color specification (black), confirming interchangeability across the identified parameter set.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can H-201C be used as a direct replacement for H-203C-1? A: Yes. H-201C is a direct equivalent substitute with identical LED size (T1), length (0.380"), color (black), material (nylon), and all compliance certifications. Both parts are Bivar Inc. products with identical functional specifications.

Q: What is the difference between nylon and PVC variants? A: The H-203C-1 and H-201C utilize nylon construction, while ELM 5-390 and ELM 2-365 are constructed from PVC. Both materials meet ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 requirements. Material selection depends on application-specific environmental exposure and mechanical property requirements.

Q: Are ELM 5-390 and ELM 2-365 dimensionally compatible with H-203C-1? A: Both parts maintain T1 LED size compatibility and black color specification. ELM 5-390 has a length of 0.390" (9.91mm) and ELM 2-365 has a length of 0.365" (9.27mm), representing the acceptable length variance range for this product category. Substitution depends on the mechanical tolerance requirements of the circuit board assembly and LED mounting application.

Q: What is the inventory status of these substitute parts? A: H-201C currently has 63,104 units in stock, ELM 5-390 has 2,242 units in stock, and ELM 2-365 has 16,125 units in stock. The primary part H-203C-1 has 1,040 units in stock.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS and moisture sensitivity compliant with H-203C-1? A: Yes. All substitute parts meet ROHS3 compliance and have identical Moisture Sensitivity Level classification (MSL 1, Unlimited), ensuring regulatory and environmental condition equivalence.
