LEDM-1-30 LED Spacer Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The LEDM-1-30 is a T1 3/4 LED standoff spacer manufactured by Essentra Components, designed for 5mm LED applications. This component provides mechanical spacing and alignment for LED assemblies in electronic equipment. The part is currently listed as obsolete, making identification of suitable alternatives necessary for ongoing production and maintenance applications. Active equivalent parts are available from the same manufacturer series with identical or near-identical specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for LED spacers is determined by three critical parameters: LED type compatibility, physical length, and material composition. All substitute parts must maintain the T1 3/4 LED form factor and PVC material to ensure mechanical fit and electrical isolation properties.

Substitutes are grouped into two categories:

Direct Substitutes (Identical Length): Parts maintaining the 1.181" (30.00mm) length specification with active product status.

Parametric Equivalents (Alternate Length): Parts with 1.142" (29.00mm) length, representing a 0.039" (1.00mm) reduction. These are suitable where minor length variation is acceptable within the application design tolerance.

All substitute candidates maintain identical LED type (T1 3/4), color (Black), material (PVC), and compliance certifications (RoHS Compliant, MSL 1).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitute: LEDM-3-30 is the direct functional equivalent, maintaining identical length (1.181" / 30.00mm) and all material specifications. This part carries active product status and is recommended as the first choice for LEDM-1-30 replacement.

Secondary Substitutes: LEDM-1-29 and LEDM-3-29 are suitable alternatives where a 1.00mm length reduction is compatible with application design tolerances. Both parts maintain active status and full compliance certifications. Selection between LEDM-1-29 and LEDM-3-29 depends on internal design requirements not specified in this reference.

All substitute parts maintain RoHS compliance and MSL 1 rating, ensuring compatibility with standard manufacturing and storage conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can LEDM-1-30 be replaced with LEDM-3-30? A: Yes. LEDM-3-30 is a direct substitute with identical LED type (T1 3/4), length (1.181" / 30.00mm), color, and material specifications. The primary difference is product status: LEDM-1-30 is obsolete while LEDM-3-30 is active.

Q: What is the difference between LEDM-1-29 and LEDM-3-29? A: Both parts are identical in all provided specifications except part number designation. They share the same LED type, reduced length (1.142" / 29.00mm), color, material, and active product status. Selection depends on internal design requirements.

Q: Can I use a 29mm spacer instead of a 30mm spacer? A: LEDM-1-29 and LEDM-3-29 represent a 1.00mm length reduction from the original specification. Substitution is valid only if application design tolerances accommodate this dimensional change.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant? A: Yes. All parts listed—LEDM-1-30, LEDM-3-30, LEDM-1-29, and LEDM-3-29—are RoHS Compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating.

Q: Why is LEDM-1-30 listed as obsolete? A: Product obsolescence is a manufacturer lifecycle designation. Active alternatives with equivalent specifications are available from the same LEDM series.
