LEDM-1-13 LED Spacer Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The LEDM-1-13 is a T1 3/4 LED standoff spacer manufactured by Essentra Components in the Richco LEDM-1 series. This component is a black PVC LED spacer with a length of 0.512" (13.00mm), designed for T1 3/4 LED applications. The part is currently active in production status with 1444 units in stock. LED spacers are essential components in electronic assemblies where precise positioning and isolation of LED components from circuit boards is required. Substitute parts may be necessary due to inventory availability, supply chain considerations, or specific application requirements while maintaining equivalent electrical and mechanical performance.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the LEDM-1-13 are qualified based on the following critical parameters: LED type compatibility (T1 3/4), color (black), material composition (PVC), and RoHS compliance status. All substitute parts must maintain the same functional purpose as an LED spacer within the specified dimensional and material constraints.

The LEDM-1-13 has two qualified substitutes:

LEDM-3-13: Parametric equivalent with identical specifications across all key parameters including LED type, length, color, material, and compliance certifications.

LEDS2-8-26: Parametric equivalent with matching LED type, color, and material composition. This substitute features a flexible PVC material variant and a length of 0.500" (12.70mm), representing a 0.012" (0.30mm) dimensional variance within acceptable tolerance for LED spacer applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts—LEDM-1-13, LEDM-3-13, and LEDS2-8-26—maintain active production status and full RoHS compliance certification. Selection between these parts should be based on inventory availability and specific application requirements.

LEDM-3-13 provides a direct parametric equivalent with identical dimensional and material specifications to the LEDM-1-13, offering the highest level of form-fit-function compatibility.

LEDS2-8-26 is suitable for applications where flexible PVC material properties are acceptable and the 0.012" (0.30mm) length reduction does not impact assembly or performance requirements. This substitute offers increased inventory availability at 3924 units.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can LEDM-3-13 be used as a direct replacement for LEDM-1-13?

A: Yes. LEDM-3-13 is a parametric equivalent with identical LED type (T1 3/4), length (0.512"/13.00mm), color (black), material (PVC), and all compliance certifications. No design or assembly modifications are required.

Q: What is the key difference between LEDS2-8-26 and LEDM-1-13?

A: LEDS2-8-26 features flexible PVC material and a length of 0.500" (12.70mm) compared to the standard PVC and 0.512" (13.00mm) length of LEDM-1-13. Both maintain T1 3/4 LED type compatibility and RoHS compliance.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. LEDM-1-13, LEDM-3-13, and LEDS2-8-26 are all RoHS compliant with MSL rating 1 (unlimited moisture sensitivity level).

Q: Which substitute has the highest inventory availability?

A: LEDM-3-13 has 6762 units in stock, compared to 1444 units for LEDM-1-13 and 3924 units for LEDS2-8-26.

Q: Can LEDS2-8-26 be used in applications requiring the exact 0.512" (13.00mm) length specification?

A: LEDS2-8-26 has a length of 0.500" (12.70mm), which represents a 0.012" (0.30mm) reduction. Compatibility depends on specific assembly and performance requirements of the application.
