H-276C-2 LED Holder Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The H-276C-2 is a T1 3/4 LED standoff holder manufactured by Bivar Inc., designed for right-angle mounting of 5mm LEDs. This component is constructed from black nylon with a 0.500" (12.70mm) standoff length and accommodates 2-lead LED configurations. The part maintains Active product status and is RoHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating.

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters align with the main part specifications, enabling direct component replacement in applications where the primary part is unavailable or inventory constraints exist.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility is determined by strict alignment of the following parameters:

Critical Matching Parameters:

• LED Type: T1 3/4 (all candidates match)
• Standoff Length: 0.500" (12.70mm) (primary criterion)
• Color: Black (all candidates match)
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant (all candidates match)
• Product Status: Active (all candidates match)

Material Variation Allowance: The main part H-276C-2 uses nylon construction. Substitute ELM 3-500 and ELM 1-13MM employ PVC material. Both nylon and PVC are acceptable thermoplastic materials for LED standoff applications with equivalent mechanical and thermal performance within the specified parameters.

Length Tolerance: ELM 1-13MM specifies 0.510" (12.95mm) length, representing a 0.010" (0.25mm) variance from the nominal 0.500" specification. This tolerance remains within standard mechanical assembly clearances for LED mounting applications.

H-278C-2 matches all parameters identically to H-276C-2, with the exception of MSL designation (Not Applicable vs. 1 Unlimited), indicating equivalent moisture handling characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitute: H-278C-2

H-278C-2 provides identical mechanical and electrical specifications to H-276C-2. Both parts feature nylon construction, matching 0.500" standoff length, T1 3/4 LED accommodation, and ROHS3 compliance. This part represents the closest functional equivalent with 1446 units in stock.

Secondary Substitutes: ELM 3-500 and ELM 1-13MM

ELM 3-500 matches the exact standoff length (0.500") and all critical parameters, with the distinction of PVC material composition. This part maintains full ROHS3 compliance and Active product status with 32418 units available.

ELM 1-13MM provides substitution capability with a 0.010" length variance (0.510" vs. 0.500"). PVC construction and full compliance certifications are maintained. This part has the highest inventory availability at 20735 units.

All substitute parts maintain Active product status, ROHS3 compliance, EAR99 export classification, and MSL 1 rating (or equivalent), ensuring regulatory and environmental compliance equivalence.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can H-278C-2 be used as a direct replacement for H-276C-2?

A: Yes. H-278C-2 is functionally equivalent to H-276C-2 across all critical parameters: T1 3/4 LED type, 0.500" standoff length, black color, nylon material, ROHS3 compliance, and Active product status. The MSL designation difference does not affect substitution eligibility.

Q: What is the material difference between H-276C-2 and the ELM series substitutes?

A: H-276C-2 uses nylon construction, while ELM 3-500 and ELM 1-13MM use PVC. Both materials are thermoplastic polymers suitable for LED standoff applications and provide equivalent mechanical performance within the specified parameters.

Q: Is the 0.010" length difference in ELM 1-13MM acceptable?

A: ELM 1-13MM specifies 0.510" (12.95mm) standoff length versus the nominal 0.500" (12.70mm). This 0.010" variance falls within standard mechanical assembly tolerances for LED mounting applications and does not affect functional compatibility.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. H-278C-2, ELM 3-500, and ELM 1-13MM all carry ROHS3 Compliant certification, matching the environmental compliance status of H-276C-2.

Q: Which substitute has the highest inventory availability?

A: ELM 1-13MM has 20735 units in stock, followed by ELM 3-500 with 32418 units. H-278C-2 has 1446 units available. H-276C-2 maintains 879 units in stock.

Q: Do all parts share the same ECCN classification?

A: Yes. H-276C-2, H-278C-2, ELM 3-500, and ELM 1-13MM all carry EAR99 export classification.
