LEDM-3-05 LED Spacer Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The LEDM-3-05 is a T1 3/4 LED standoff manufactured by Essentra Components, designed to provide mechanical spacing and support for T1 3/4 LED components in electronic assemblies. This black PVC spacer measures 0.197" (5.00mm) in length and is classified as an active product with full RoHS compliance. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent mechanical and electrical parameters align within acceptable tolerances for the T1 3/4 LED form factor, material composition, and compliance certifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the LEDM-3-05 are qualified based on the following critical parameters:

• LED form factor compatibility (T1 3/4)
• Material specification (PVC)
• Color match (Black)
• Length tolerance (within 0.020" / 0.51mm of nominal 5.00mm)
• Compliance certifications (RoHS, REACH, ECCN EAR99)
• Moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1)
• Active product status

The identified substitutes maintain these core parameters while originating from alternative manufacturers. Length variations within the specified tolerance range do not compromise mechanical fit or functional performance in standard T1 3/4 LED mounting applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts maintain active product status and full compliance with RoHS and REACH regulations. The LEDM-3-05 and ELM 3-200 exhibit the closest length specifications at 5.00mm and 5.08mm respectively, representing a 0.08mm variance. The LEDS2-3-26 operates at 4.80mm, a 0.20mm reduction from the primary part. All variants remain within acceptable mechanical tolerance for T1 3/4 LED standoff applications. The ELM 3-200 carries ROHS3 certification, representing the most current RoHS iteration. Selection should be based on inventory availability, packaging requirements (Bulk format for both substitutes), and specific assembly clearance constraints.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can LEDS2-3-26 be used in place of LEDM-3-05 despite the 0.20mm length difference?

A: Yes. The 0.189" (4.80mm) length of LEDS2-3-26 versus the 0.197" (5.00mm) of LEDM-3-05 represents a 0.008" variance, which falls within standard mechanical tolerance for T1 3/4 LED spacer applications. Both parts maintain identical material, color, and compliance specifications.

Q: What is the significance of ROHS3 compliance on the ELM 3-200?

A: ROHS3 represents the current iteration of RoHS certification standards. The ELM 3-200 meets this specification, while LEDM-3-05 and LEDS2-3-26 carry standard RoHS Compliant status. Both certifications are valid for component selection; ROHS3 indicates alignment with the most recent regulatory framework.

Q: Are there packaging differences between the main part and substitutes?

A: LEDM-3-05 is specified with "-" packaging notation. Both LEDS2-3-26 and ELM 3-200 are supplied in Bulk packaging. Verify bulk quantity requirements align with assembly workflow and inventory management protocols.

Q: Do all parts share identical MSL ratings?

A: Yes. LEDM-3-05, LEDS2-3-26, and ELM 3-200 all carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) classification, indicating no moisture sensitivity constraints for storage, handling, or assembly processes.

Q: Which substitute offers the closest dimensional match to LEDM-3-05?

A: ELM 3-200 at 0.200" (5.08mm) provides the closest length specification, with only 0.003" (0.08mm) variance from the primary part's 0.197" (5.00mm) dimension.
