LEDM-2-16 LED Spacer Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The LEDM-2-16 is a T1 LED standoff spacer manufactured by Essentra Components in black PVC material. This component is designed to provide mechanical spacing and alignment for T1 LED packages in electronic assemblies. The part is currently Active in product status with full RoHS compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent mechanical and electrical characteristics are required due to inventory availability, supply chain considerations, or design flexibility needs.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the LEDM-2-16 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• LED Package Type: Must be T1 to ensure mechanical compatibility with standard T1 LED leads
• Material Composition: PVC material ensures consistent thermal and mechanical properties
• Color: Black coloring maintains visual consistency in assemblies
• Length Tolerance: Mechanical spacing length must fall within acceptable tolerance range for the application
• Compliance Status: RoHS compliance and MSL rating must be maintained or exceeded

The LEDS1-10-26 qualifies as a parametric equivalent based on matching LED type (T1), material (PVC), color (Black), and compliance certifications. The length specification of 0.626" (15.90mm) represents a 0.004" (0.10mm) dimensional variance from the primary part, which falls within standard mechanical tolerance for LED spacer applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the LEDM-2-16 and LEDS1-10-26 maintain Active product status with identical RoHS compliance and REACH unaffected certifications. The LEDS1-10-26 carries higher inventory availability (3811 pcs vs. 1090 pcs), making it suitable for high-volume production requirements. The minimal length differential of 0.004" (0.10mm) between parts is within standard mechanical tolerances for LED spacer applications and does not affect functional performance in standard T1 LED assemblies. Both parts share identical material composition, color specification, and moisture sensitivity ratings, ensuring consistent performance characteristics across substitution.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What determines if LEDS1-10-26 can replace LEDM-2-16?

A: Substitution is valid when the LED package type (T1), material (PVC), color (Black), and compliance certifications (RoHS, REACH) match. The LEDS1-10-26 meets all these criteria. The length difference of 0.004" (0.10mm) is within acceptable mechanical tolerance for T1 LED spacer applications.

Q: Does the length difference affect mechanical fit?

A: The LEDS1-10-26 length of 0.626" (15.90mm) versus the LEDM-2-16 length of 0.630" (16.00mm) represents a 0.004" (0.10mm) variance. This dimensional difference is within standard mechanical tolerances for LED spacer components and does not compromise fit or function in standard T1 LED assemblies.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both LEDM-2-16 and LEDS1-10-26 are RoHS Compliant with MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited) and REACH Unaffected status.

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs?

A: Selection should be based on inventory availability and supply chain requirements. Both parts are Active and functionally equivalent. The LEDS1-10-26 offers higher inventory availability for production planning purposes.

Q: Are there any packaging differences?

A: Both parts are supplied in Bulk packaging format with identical handling and storage requirements.
