Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the H-300CR-2-140 are selected based on the following critical parameters: LED type (T1), dual-lead configuration (2LD), color (black), and length tolerance. The primary distinction among substitutes is material composition and length variation.

Two substitution categories are applicable:

Category 1 - Similar Configuration: Parts maintaining nylon construction with comparable length specifications. The H-200C-1 represents an alternative from the same H-series family with reduced length (0.380" vs. 0.455"), classified as similar rather than direct equivalent due to mechanical height variance.

Category 2 - Parametric Equivalent: Parts constructed from PVC material within the ELM 2-series, spanning length range 0.435" to 0.470" (11.05mm to 11.94mm). These parts maintain T1 LED type, 2LD configuration, and black color while offering active product status and RoHS3 compliance. Length tolerance within this range (±0.035") accommodates the 0.455" baseline specification.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For applications requiring direct replacement of the H-300CR-2-140, the ELM 2-455 provides the closest parametric match, with identical length specification (0.455" / 11.56mm) and active product status. All ELM 2-series alternatives maintain ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating, qualifying them for equivalent functional use across most application contexts.

The H-200C-1 alternative from the H-series family provides nylon material continuity with the original part but specifies reduced length (0.380" / 9.65mm), requiring mechanical verification for spatial constraints in the target application.

Material transition from nylon (H-300CR-2-140) to PVC (ELM 2-series) introduces mechanical property changes, including hardness and thermal characteristics. Parts selected from the ELM 2-series maintain full electrical and dimensional compatibility for LED mounting function while offering improved supply chain availability through active product status.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ELM 2-series parts with different lengths substitute for the H-300CR-2-140? A: Yes, within specified limits. The ELM 2-series parts ranging from 0.435" to 0.470" accommodate the 0.455" baseline specification. Length variance of ±0.035" from baseline remains within tolerance for dual-lead LED standoff mounting. Applications with height-sensitive constraints require verification of specific length requirements.

Q: What is the functional difference between nylon (H-300CR-2-140) and PVC (ELM 2-series) construction? A: Both materials provide adequate mechanical support for T1 LED mounting. Nylon offers higher impact resistance; PVC provides enhanced chemical resistance. Substitution is functionally valid for LED holder applications where material-specific properties do not drive design selection.

Q: Is the H-200C-1 a direct replacement for the H-300CR-2-140? A: The H-200C-1 maintains LED type, configuration, and color specifications but features reduced length (0.380" versus 0.455"). This substitution requires verification that the reduced mechanical height accommodates application-specific mounting geometry and clearance requirements.

Q: What compliance considerations apply to substitute selection? A: All listed substitutes maintain ROHS3 compliance and unlimited MSL rating, matching the original part's environmental qualifications. ECCN classifications remain EAR99 across all alternatives, maintaining consistent export control status.

Q: Why is the H-300CR-2-140 designated obsolete? A: Obsolete status indicates discontinued manufacturing. Active alternatives within the ELM 2-series and H-200C family maintain identical functional parameters, ensuring continued supply availability for circuit board LED mounting applications.
