LED Holder H-310C Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The H-310C is an active T1 LED standoff holder manufactured by Bivar Inc., designed for right-angle mounting of 3mm LEDs. This component provides mechanical support and positioning for LED assemblies in electronic equipment. The part is supplied in black nylon construction with a 0.600" (15.24mm) standoff height and accommodates two-lead LED configurations.

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters are maintained, allowing for component interchangeability in applications where the primary part is unavailable or inventory constraints require alternative sourcing.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the H-310C is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters:

Critical Matching Parameters:

• LED Type: T1 (physical form factor)
• Standoff Height: 0.600" (15.24mm) (mechanical fit)
• Lead Configuration: 2-Lead (electrical connectivity)
• Mounting Orientation: Right-Angle (assembly orientation)
• Color: Black (visual specification)
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant (regulatory requirement)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (handling classification)

Material Variation Allowance: The substitute part ELM 4-600 differs from the main part in material composition (PVC versus Nylon) while maintaining all other critical parameters. This material substitution is permissible when mechanical and electrical performance requirements are equivalent and the application does not impose specific material constraints.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

H-310C Selection Criteria:

• Primary choice when right-angle mounting orientation is required
• Nylon material composition preferred for specific thermal or chemical resistance applications
• Active product status ensures continued manufacturer support and availability

ELM 4-600 Selection Criteria:

• Alternative source when H-310C inventory is constrained
• Vertical mounting orientation differs from H-310C; application PCB layout must accommodate this orientation change
• PVC material composition provides equivalent mechanical and electrical performance for standard LED mounting applications
• Active product status ensures continued manufacturer support and availability

Both parts maintain identical RoHS3 compliance and MSL classification, ensuring regulatory and handling requirements are met in either configuration.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ELM 4-600 be used as a direct replacement for H-310C?

A: ELM 4-600 is electrically and mechanically equivalent to H-310C for T1 LED mounting applications. However, the mounting orientation differs (vertical versus right-angle). Direct substitution requires PCB layout compatibility with the vertical orientation. Material composition (PVC versus Nylon) does not affect standard LED mounting performance.

Q: What is the significance of the 0.600" standoff height?

A: The 0.600" (15.24mm) standoff height is a critical mechanical parameter that determines the vertical distance between the PCB surface and the LED component. This dimension must match the application's PCB clearance requirements. Both H-310C and ELM 4-600 maintain this specification.

Q: Are there material performance differences between Nylon and PVC in these holders?

A: Both Nylon and PVC materials are suitable for T1 LED holder applications. Material selection depends on specific application requirements such as temperature range, chemical exposure, or mechanical stress. The provided parameters do not specify performance differences between these materials for this product category.

Q: Do both parts meet the same regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. Both H-310C and ELM 4-600 are ROHS3 compliant and classified as Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited). They meet identical environmental and regulatory standards.

Q: What does "2-Lead" configuration mean?

A: The 2-Lead configuration indicates the LED holder accommodates standard two-terminal LED components (anode and cathode). Both substitute parts maintain this lead configuration.

Q: Is packaging type a consideration for substitution?

A: Both parts are supplied in Bag packaging. Packaging type does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility for component selection purposes.
