Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of LED spacers is determined by compatibility across the following critical parameters:

• LED Type: Both parts must support T1 3/4 LED form factors
• Material Composition: PVC material ensures consistent mechanical and thermal properties
• Color: Black coloring maintains visual consistency in assemblies
• RoHS Compliance: Both parts must meet RoHS requirements for regulated markets
• Length Tolerance: Dimensional compatibility within acceptable mechanical tolerances for PCB mounting

The LEDS2-10-26 qualifies as a parametric equivalent based on matching LED type, material, color, and compliance certifications. Minor length variation (0.625" vs 0.630") falls within standard mechanical tolerances for spacer applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both LEDM-3-16 and LEDS2-10-26 are active production parts with full RoHS and REACH compliance. Selection between these parts should be based on:

• Availability: LEDS2-10-26 offers significantly higher inventory (6055 units vs 910 units)
• Dimensional Requirements: LEDS2-10-26 length of 0.625" (15.88mm) represents a 0.005" (0.12mm) reduction from LEDM-3-16. This minor difference is within standard mechanical tolerances for LED spacer applications
• Compliance Equivalence: Both parts meet identical regulatory requirements (RoHS Compliant, REACH Unaffected)

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can LEDS2-10-26 be used as a direct replacement for LEDM-3-16?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical LED type (T1 3/4), material (PVC), color (Black), and compliance status. The length difference of 0.005" (0.12mm) is within standard mechanical tolerances for LED spacer applications and does not affect functional compatibility.

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

A: LEDM-3-16 measures 0.630" (16.00mm) while LEDS2-10-26 measures 0.625" (15.88mm). This 0.005" (0.12mm) variation is typical in PVC spacer manufacturing and remains within acceptable tolerances for LED lead positioning during PCB assembly.

Q: Are both parts compliant with current regulations?

A: Yes. Both LEDM-3-16 and LEDS2-10-26 are RoHS Compliant and REACH Unaffected, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic component distribution.

Q: What packaging format is available for LEDS2-10-26?

A: LEDS2-10-26 is supplied in Bulk packaging, suitable for high-volume production environments.

Q: How do I determine which part to select for my application?

A: Selection should prioritize availability and supply chain requirements. LEDS2-10-26 offers superior inventory levels. Both parts are functionally equivalent for T1 3/4 LED spacer applications.
