H-311C LED Holder - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The H-311C is a T1 LED standoff holder manufactured by Bivar Inc., constructed from black nylon with a 0.600" (15.24mm) height specification. This component is an active product designed to securely position T1-sized light-emitting diodes in vertical mounting configurations. Alternative equivalent models become necessary when inventory constraints occur or when specific material properties (such as PVC versus nylon composition) are required to meet particular application requirements while maintaining functional compatibility.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The ELM 4-600 serves as a parametric equivalent to the H-311C based on the following alignment of critical substitution criteria:

• LED Size Match: Both parts accommodate T1-sized LEDs
• Height Specification: Both parts maintain the 0.600" (15.24mm) dimensional requirement
• Color: Both parts are available in black
• Lead Configuration: Both parts provide 2-lead mounting positions
• Regulatory Compliance: Both parts meet ROHS3 standards and carry identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications

The primary distinction between these parts is material composition: the H-311C utilizes nylon while the ELM 4-600 utilizes PVC. Both materials are thermoplastic polymers suitable for LED holder applications and do not affect the fundamental electrical or mechanical compatibility of the substitution.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the H-311C and ELM 4-600 are active products with full ROHS3 compliance and identical regulatory certifications (EAR99 ECCN, 3926.90.9985 HTSUS). Selection between these parts should be based on material availability and application-specific requirements. The H-311C (nylon) and ELM 4-600 (PVC) represent functionally equivalent options for T1 LED mounting at 0.600" height specifications. Both components satisfy unlimited moisture sensitivity classifications and maintain identical electrical and mechanical interface requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What defines compatibility between the H-311C and ELM 4-600? A: These parts are compatible substitutes based on matching T1 LED size accommodation, identical 0.600" (15.24mm) height, 2-lead configuration, black color specification, and equivalent regulatory compliance (ROHS3, EAR99, HTSUS 3926.90.9985).

Q: Does the material difference between nylon and PVC affect component selection? A: The material difference does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility for T1 LED mounting applications. Selection between nylon (H-311C) and PVC (ELM 4-600) depends on inventory availability and specific environmental or application requirements.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in existing designs? A: Yes. Both parts provide identical mechanical interface dimensions (0.600" height), 2-lead LED positioning, and regulatory classifications. No design modification is required for substitution.

Q: Are moisture sensitivity considerations relevant to the selection process? A: Both parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) classification, indicating unrestricted moisture exposure tolerance. Moisture sensitivity does not differentiate these parts.

Q: What packaging is provided for these components? A: Both the H-311C and ELM 4-600 are supplied in bag packaging suitable for standard component handling and assembly processes.
