LEDM-2-20 LED Spacer Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The LEDM-2-20 is a T1 LED standoff spacer manufactured by Essentra Components, designed for electronic assembly applications requiring precise component positioning. This black PVC spacer measures 0.787" (20.00mm) in length and is classified as an active product with full RoHS compliance. Substitute parts become necessary when the primary part experiences supply constraints, extended lead times, or inventory limitations in specific distribution channels.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the LEDM-2-20 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• LED Type: Must be T1 to ensure mechanical and electrical compatibility with standard T1 LED packages
• Material Composition: Must be PVC to maintain consistent thermal and mechanical properties
• Color: Must be black to preserve visual and functional consistency in assembly
• Length Tolerance: Acceptable variance within standard manufacturing tolerances for T1 spacer applications
• Compliance Status: Must maintain RoHS compliance and REACH unaffected status for regulatory alignment

The substitute part LEDS1-12-26 meets all critical substitution criteria, with a minor length variation of 0.035" (0.90mm) that falls within acceptable tolerance ranges for T1 LED spacer applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the LEDM-2-20 and LEDS1-12-26 maintain active product status with identical RoHS compliance and REACH unaffected designations. Selection between these parts should be based on:

• Availability: LEDS1-12-26 currently maintains higher inventory levels (1398 pcs vs. 778 pcs)
• Length Specification: LEDM-2-20 provides the specified 20.00mm length; LEDS1-12-26 offers 19.10mm length with 0.90mm reduction
• Packaging Format: LEDM-2-20 is available in standard packaging; LEDS1-12-26 is supplied in bulk packaging
• Regulatory Compliance: Both parts satisfy identical compliance requirements for RoHS and REACH standards

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can LEDS1-12-26 be used as a direct replacement for LEDM-2-20?

A: LEDS1-12-26 is a parametric equivalent meeting all critical substitution criteria (T1 LED type, black PVC material, identical compliance status). The 0.90mm length difference must be evaluated against specific assembly requirements and mechanical tolerances in your application.

Q: What are the key parameters that determine substitution compatibility?

A: Substitution compatibility is determined by LED type (T1), material (PVC), color (black), and compliance status (RoHS compliant, REACH unaffected). Length variations within standard manufacturing tolerances are acceptable for T1 spacer applications.

Q: Does the packaging format affect functional performance?

A: Packaging format (standard vs. bulk) does not affect the functional or mechanical performance of the spacer. Selection should be based on procurement volume and inventory management requirements.

Q: Are both parts suitable for RoHS-regulated applications?

A: Yes, both LEDM-2-20 and LEDS1-12-26 are RoHS compliant and REACH unaffected, making them suitable for applications subject to these regulatory requirements.

Q: What is the significance of MSL Rating 1?

A: MSL Rating 1 (Unlimited) indicates that both parts have unlimited shelf life and require no special moisture control measures during storage or handling, simplifying inventory management and logistics.
