Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the H-275C-2 is determined by the following critical parameters: LED type (T1 3/4), standoff length (0.500" / 12.70mm), color (Black), and lead configuration (2-lead). Material composition (Nylon vs. PVC) and MSL rating variations are permitted within the substitute group when all primary mechanical and electrical parameters align. All identified substitutes maintain ROHS3 compliance and Active product status.

The substitute parts ELM 3-500 and H-278C-2 match all critical parameters exactly. The part ELM 1-13MM maintains LED type, color, and lead configuration but features a slightly longer standoff length of 0.510" (12.95mm), representing a minor dimensional variance within acceptable tolerance for most applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

ELM 3-500 provides exact dimensional and material equivalence to H-275C-2, with identical standoff length and nylon construction. This part is recommended for direct substitution when H-275C-2 availability is constrained, as it maintains all critical mechanical and electrical parameters.

H-278C-2 offers identical dimensional specifications and nylon material composition. This part serves as a direct functional equivalent with comparable inventory levels and identical compliance certifications.

ELM 1-13MM maintains LED type, color, and lead configuration but incorporates a 0.010" (0.25mm) longer standoff length and PVC material composition. This part is suitable for substitution in applications where the minor dimensional variance and material change do not impact circuit performance or mechanical assembly constraints.

All substitute parts maintain Active product status and ROHS3 compliance, ensuring regulatory and supply chain continuity.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ELM 3-500 be used as a direct replacement for H-275C-2?

A: Yes. ELM 3-500 matches all critical parameters: T1 3/4 LED type, 0.500" standoff length, black color, 2-lead configuration, and ROHS3 compliance. Material composition differs (PVC vs. Nylon), but both materials are suitable for LED standoff applications.

Q: What is the significance of the 0.010" length difference in ELM 1-13MM?

A: ELM 1-13MM features a 0.510" standoff length compared to the H-275C-2 specification of 0.500". This 0.25mm variance is a minor dimensional difference. Substitution suitability depends on circuit board layout and mechanical clearance requirements specific to the application.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. H-275C-2, ELM 3-500, H-278C-2, and ELM 1-13MM are all ROHS3 compliant, ensuring regulatory alignment for restricted substance requirements.

Q: What is the difference between Nylon and PVC materials in these LED holders?

A: Both Nylon and PVC are suitable polymer materials for LED standoff applications. Material selection does not affect electrical performance or LED compatibility. Selection may be based on environmental exposure, temperature range, or mechanical property requirements specific to the end application.

Q: Which substitute part has the highest inventory availability?

A: ELM 3-500 maintains the highest inventory level at 32,418 pieces, followed by ELM 1-13MM at 20,735 pieces. H-278C-2 is available at 1,446 pieces.

Q: Can H-278C-2 replace H-275C-2 in all applications?

A: Yes. H-278C-2 provides exact dimensional and material equivalence to H-275C-2, making it suitable for direct substitution in all applications where H-275C-2 is specified.
