Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The LEDM-3-21 qualifies as a parametric equivalent to the LEDM-1-21 based on the following critical substitution parameters:

• LED Type: Both parts are T1 3/4 spacers
• Length: Both measure 0.827" (21.00mm)
• Color: Both are black
• Material: Both are PVC construction
• Manufacturer: Both are Essentra Components (Richco series)
• Compliance: Both are RoHS Compliant with MSL 1 rating
• Regulatory: Both share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (3926.90.9985) classifications

These parameters define the functional and mechanical compatibility requirements for LED spacer substitution in T1 3/4 applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both LEDM-1-21 and LEDM-3-21 are active production parts from Essentra Components with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on:

• Inventory availability: LEDM-3-21 has higher stock (2213 units vs. 1766 units)
• Supply chain requirements: Both parts carry equivalent compliance certifications (RoHS Compliant, REACH Unaffected, EAR99)
• Design continuity: Either part maintains identical form factor, material composition, and functional performance in T1 3/4 LED applications

Both parts are suitable for direct substitution in applications requiring 21mm black PVC LED spacers for T1 3/4 LEDs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can LEDM-3-21 be used as a direct replacement for LEDM-1-21?
