LEDM-3-20 LED Spacer Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The LEDM-3-20 is a T1 3/4 LED standoff spacer manufactured by Essentra Components. This black PVC component measures 0.787" (20.00mm) in length and is designed to provide mechanical spacing and alignment for T1 3/4 LED assemblies. The part maintains Active product status with full RoHS compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent LED form factors, material composition, and compliance certifications align with the original specification, enabling component interchangeability in production and repair applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the LEDM-3-20 are qualified based on the following critical parameters:

• LED Form Factor: T1 3/4 compatibility (mechanical fit requirement)
• Color: Black (visual and assembly specification)
• Material: PVC or PVC-based composition (chemical and thermal properties)
• RoHS Compliance: Required for regulatory alignment
• REACH Status: REACH Unaffected or compliant (environmental regulation requirement)
• Product Status: Active (availability and support requirement)

The substitute parts LEDS2-12-26 and LEDS3-12-26 meet these core criteria. Both are T1 3/4 black PVC LED standoffs from Essentra Components with Active status and full compliance certifications. The primary distinction between substitutes is length variation (0.750" vs. 0.787"), which must be evaluated against specific assembly requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both LEDS2-12-26 and LEDS3-12-26 are qualified substitutes for LEDM-3-20 based on matching LED form factor, color, material class, and regulatory compliance. All three parts maintain Active product status with RoHS compliance and REACH Unaffected designation.

LEDS2-12-26 features flexible PVC material composition and maintains MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, providing dimensional tolerance of 0.750" (19.05mm).

LEDS3-12-26 uses standard PVC material with MSL Not Applicable designation and provides the same 0.750" (19.05mm) length.

The 0.037" (0.95mm) length difference between LEDM-3-20 (20.00mm) and both substitute parts must be evaluated against specific assembly stack-up and clearance requirements. Selection between LEDS2-12-26 and LEDS3-12-26 depends on application requirements for material flexibility and moisture sensitivity classification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can LEDS2-12-26 and LEDS3-12-26 be used interchangeably with LEDM-3-20?

A: Both parts share the same LED form factor (T1 3/4), color (black), material class (PVC), and compliance certifications. However, the 0.037" length difference must be accommodated by the assembly design. Interchangeability is determined by mechanical clearance and spacing requirements specific to your application.

Q: What is the significance of the "Flexible" material designation in LEDS2-12-26?

A: LEDS2-12-26 specifies flexible PVC composition, which may provide different mechanical properties compared to standard PVC. This material variation should be evaluated if the application requires specific bending or compression characteristics.

Q: Why does LEDS3-12-26 have "MSL Not Applicable" while LEDM-3-20 specifies MSL 1?

A: MSL (Moisture Sensitivity Level) classification applies primarily to components sensitive to moisture absorption during storage and handling. LEDS3-12-26 is classified as Not Applicable, indicating the component does not require MSL-based storage controls. LEDM-3-20 and LEDS2-12-26 both carry MSL 1 (Unlimited), meaning no moisture sensitivity restrictions apply.

Q: Are all three parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. LEDM-3-20, LEDS2-12-26, and LEDS3-12-26 all carry RoHS Compliant status and REACH Unaffected designation, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements.

Q: What packaging format is available for these parts?

A: All three parts are supplied in Bulk packaging format.
