LEDS2M-240-01 LED Spacer Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The LEDS2M-240-01 is a T1 3/4 LED standoff spacer manufactured by Essentra Components. This molded nylon component provides mechanical support and positioning for T1 3/4 LED packages with a 0.240" (6.10mm) height. The part is currently active in production and maintains full RoHS compliance. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent LED form factors, materials, and mechanical dimensions are required due to inventory constraints, supply chain considerations, or design flexibility needs.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the LEDS2M-240-01 is determined by the following critical parameters: LED form factor (T1 3/4), material composition (Nylon), color (Natural), and mechanical height dimension. Parts are grouped into two categories based on dimensional compatibility:

Category 1: Exact Dimensional Match (0.240" / 6.10mm) Parts in this category maintain identical height specifications and provide direct mechanical and functional equivalence without design modification.

Category 2: Dimensional Variant (0.250" / 6.35mm) Parts in this category share the same LED form factor, material, and color but differ in height by 0.010" (0.25mm). These parts are functionally equivalent for applications where the height variance is acceptable within circuit board layout tolerances.

All substitute parts maintain the same nylon material composition, natural color finish, and T1 3/4 LED compatibility as the primary part.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Equivalent (Exact Dimensional Match): The 8317 from Keystone Electronics is the direct equivalent to LEDS2M-240-01. Both parts maintain identical 0.240" (6.10mm) height specifications, T1 3/4 LED compatibility, nylon material, and natural color. Both parts are active in production and maintain RoHS compliance (ROHS3 for 8317 versus RoHS Compliant for LEDS2M-240-01). This part provides complete functional and mechanical interchangeability without design modification.

Secondary Equivalents (Dimensional Variant - 0.250" Height): The LEDS2E-4-01, LEDS2M-250-01, and 8318 are functionally equivalent alternatives with a 0.010" (0.25mm) height increase. These parts maintain all other critical parameters: T1 3/4 LED form factor, nylon material, natural color, and active production status. Selection of these parts requires confirmation that the increased height is compatible with circuit board layout and component clearance requirements.

All substitute parts maintain REACH Unaffected status and are packaged in bulk format consistent with the primary part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 8317 be used as a direct replacement for LEDS2M-240-01? A: Yes. The 8317 maintains identical mechanical dimensions (0.240" height), LED form factor (T1 3/4), material (nylon), and color (natural). Both parts are active and RoHS compliant, providing complete interchangeability.

Q: What is the difference between the 0.240" and 0.250" height variants? A: The height difference is 0.010" (0.25mm). Parts with 0.240" height (LEDS2M-240-01 and 8317) are exact dimensional matches. Parts with 0.250" height (LEDS2E-4-01, LEDS2M-250-01, and 8318) are functionally equivalent but require verification that the additional height does not conflict with circuit board layout or component clearances.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant? A: Yes. All listed substitute parts maintain RoHS compliance. LEDS2M-240-01, LEDS2E-4-01, and LEDS2M-250-01 are RoHS Compliant. Parts 8317 and 8318 from Keystone Electronics are ROHS3 Compliant.

Q: Can I mix manufacturers in the same assembly? A: Yes. All substitute parts share identical LED form factor (T1 3/4), material (nylon), and color (natural) specifications. Parts from Essentra Components and Keystone Electronics are mechanically and functionally equivalent within their respective height categories.

Q: What packaging format is available for substitute parts? A: All substitute parts are supplied in bulk packaging, consistent with the primary LEDS2M-240-01 part.

Q: Are there inventory considerations when selecting a substitute? A: Inventory levels vary by part number. LEDS2E-4-01 has the highest inventory (65,983 pcs), while 8318 has the lowest (1,095 pcs). Current inventory status should be verified at the time of procurement.
