LEDM-1-09 LED Spacer Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The LEDM-1-09 is a T1 3/4 LED standoff spacer manufactured by Essentra Components (Richco series). This component is a black PVC spacer designed for 5mm LED applications with a length of 0.354" (9.00mm). The part is currently active in production with 1511 units in stock. LED spacers are essential in PCB assembly to maintain proper standoff distance and alignment for LED components during mounting and soldering operations. Substitute parts may be required due to inventory constraints, supply chain disruptions, or specific procurement requirements.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The LEDM-1-09 has one identified parametric equivalent: LEDM-3-09. Substitution eligibility is determined by the following critical parameters:

• LED Type: T1 3/4 (must match exactly)
• Length: 0.354" (9.00mm) (must match exactly)
• Color: Black (must match exactly)
• Material: PVC (must match exactly)
• RoHS Compliance: Required
• MSL Rating: 1 (Unlimited)

The LEDM-3-09 meets all these criteria and is therefore a direct parametric equivalent. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications, making them interchangeable in applications requiring T1 3/4 LED standoffs with 9mm length in black PVC.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both LEDM-1-09 and LEDM-3-09 are active production parts with full RoHS compliance and identical mechanical and electrical specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on inventory availability and procurement lead times. The LEDM-1-09 currently has higher stock levels (1511 units versus 1201 units). Both parts carry MSL Rating 1, indicating no moisture sensitivity constraints during storage or handling. For applications requiring T1 3/4 LED standoffs at 9mm length in black PVC, either part provides equivalent performance and regulatory compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can LEDM-3-09 be used as a direct replacement for LEDM-1-09?

A: Yes. Both parts are parametric equivalents with identical specifications for LED type (T1 3/4), length (9mm), color (black), material (PVC), and compliance ratings. They are mechanically and functionally interchangeable.

Q: Are there any differences in packaging or handling between these parts?

A: Both parts are supplied in bulk packaging. Both carry MSL Rating 1 (Unlimited), meaning they have no moisture sensitivity requirements and can be stored under standard conditions without desiccant protection.

Q: What determines if a part can substitute for LEDM-1-09?

A: A substitute must match all critical parameters: T1 3/4 LED type, 0.354" (9.00mm) length, black color, PVC material, and RoHS compliance status. Deviation in any of these parameters disqualifies a part as a direct equivalent.

Q: Are both parts currently available?

A: Yes. LEDM-1-09 has 1511 units in stock, and LEDM-3-09 has 1201 units in stock. Both are active production parts.

Q: Do these parts require any special handling or storage conditions?

A: No. With MSL Rating 1, these PVC spacers have unlimited shelf life under standard storage conditions and do not require moisture-controlled environments.
