LEDM-1-23 LED Spacer Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The LEDM-1-23 is a T1 3/4 LED spacer manufactured by Essentra Components. This black PVC standoff measures 0.906" (23.00mm) in length and is designed for T1 3/4 LED applications. The part is currently active in production with 1,098 units in stock. LED spacers are essential components in electronic assemblies where precise positioning and isolation of LED leads are required. Substitute parts may be necessary due to supply constraints, lead time requirements, or inventory availability across different manufacturers.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the LEDM-1-23 are qualified based on the following critical parameters:

• LED Type: T1 3/4 form factor (mandatory match)
• Material: PVC construction (mandatory match)
• Color: Black (mandatory match)
• Length Tolerance: Nominal length within acceptable mechanical tolerance for LED lead positioning
• RoHS Compliance: Parts must meet RoHS requirements for regulatory compatibility
• MSL Rating: Level 1 (Unlimited) for moisture sensitivity

The substitute parts LEDS2-14-26 and ELM 1-875 meet these criteria with lengths of 0.874" (22.20mm) and 0.875" (22.22mm) respectively, representing acceptable dimensional variance for T1 3/4 LED spacer applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts maintain active product status and full RoHS compliance, ensuring regulatory compatibility for current and future applications. The LEDS2-14-26 and ELM 1-875 are functionally equivalent to the LEDM-1-23 within the mechanical tolerances required for T1 3/4 LED spacer applications. The ELM 1-875 offers the highest inventory availability at 20,420 units, providing supply chain flexibility. Length variance between parts ranges from 0.874" to 0.906", representing a maximum difference of 0.032" (0.81mm), which falls within acceptable mechanical tolerance for LED lead positioning in standard PCB applications. Selection should be based on availability requirements, lead time constraints, and procurement preferences.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can LEDS2-14-26 be used as a direct replacement for LEDM-1-23?

A: Yes. Both parts are T1 3/4 black PVC LED spacers with identical material composition and RoHS compliance. The length difference of 0.032" (0.81mm) is within acceptable mechanical tolerance for T1 3/4 LED applications.

Q: What is the significance of the length variation between these parts?

A: LED spacer length determines the standoff distance for LED leads from the PCB surface. The nominal lengths of 0.874", 0.875", and 0.906" represent standard dimensional options within the T1 3/4 category. Selection depends on the specific PCB design requirements for LED lead positioning.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. LEDM-1-23 and LEDS2-14-26 are RoHS Compliant, while ELM 1-875 is ROHS3 Compliant. All meet current RoHS regulatory requirements.

Q: What does MSL Rating 1 (Unlimited) mean?

A: Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 indicates the component has unlimited shelf life and requires no special moisture control during storage or handling, making these parts suitable for standard warehouse and assembly environments.

Q: Which substitute part has the best availability?

A: ELM 1-875 by Bivar Inc. has the highest inventory level at 20,420 units, followed by LEDS2-14-26 at 1,715 units.
