LEDS2M-420-01 LED Spacer Molded T1 3/4 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The LEDS2M-420-01 is a molded LED spacer manufactured by Essentra Components, designed for T1 3/4 LED applications with a 0.420" (10.67mm) standoff height. This component is classified as active product status and is RoHS compliant. Alternative equivalent parts may be required due to inventory availability, lead time considerations, or specific procurement requirements across different manufacturers.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the LEDS2M-420-01 is determined by the following critical parameters: LED type (T1 3/4), material composition (Nylon), color (Natural), and standoff length. Parts are grouped into two categories based on standoff height compatibility:

Exact Length Match (0.420" / 10.67mm):

• LEDS2M-420-01 (Essentra Components)
• 8328 (Keystone Electronics)

Alternative Standoff Heights (Same LED Type, Material, Color):

• LEDS2M-440-01 (0.440" / 11.18mm) – Essentra Components
• 8327 (0.400" / 10.16mm) – Keystone Electronics
• 8329 (0.440" / 11.18mm) – Keystone Electronics

All substitute parts maintain T1 3/4 LED compatibility, natural nylon construction, and bulk packaging format.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct Equivalent (Recommended for 1:1 Replacement): Part 8328 from Keystone Electronics provides exact dimensional and material equivalence to LEDS2M-420-01, with identical 0.420" standoff height and T1 3/4 LED compatibility. Both parts maintain active product status and RoHS compliance. Part 8328 offers higher inventory availability (4430 pcs vs. 864 pcs).

Alternative Standoff Heights: Parts LEDS2M-440-01, 8327, and 8329 are suitable only when application requirements permit variation in standoff height. LEDS2M-440-01 and 8329 provide 0.440" height, while 8327 provides 0.400" height. All maintain T1 3/4 LED type, nylon material, and natural color specifications. Selection among these alternatives depends on specific PCB layout and component clearance requirements.

Compliance Considerations: All listed parts maintain RoHS compliance status. Essentra Components parts carry RoHS Compliant designation, while Keystone Electronics parts carry ROHS3 Compliant designation. Both certifications satisfy RoHS requirements for this product category.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 8328 be used as a direct replacement for LEDS2M-420-01? A: Yes. Part 8328 matches all critical parameters: T1 3/4 LED type, 0.420" standoff height, nylon material, natural color, and RoHS compliance. Both parts are active status and suitable for direct substitution.

Q: What is the difference between exact-match substitutes and alternative standoff heights? A: Exact-match substitutes (LEDS2M-420-01 and 8328) share identical 0.420" length specifications. Alternative standoff heights (LEDS2M-440-01, 8327, 8329) vary in length and are suitable only when application design permits height variation. Standoff height affects LED positioning relative to the PCB and surrounding components.

Q: Are Keystone Electronics parts (8327, 8328, 8329) compatible with Essentra Components specifications? A: Yes, within the constraints of standoff height. All parts maintain T1 3/4 LED compatibility, nylon construction, natural color, and RoHS compliance. Dimensional compatibility depends on matching standoff height to application requirements.

Q: What does ROHS3 Compliant mean compared to RoHS Compliant? A: Both designations indicate RoHS compliance. ROHS3 refers to the third iteration of RoHS certification standards. Both certification types satisfy RoHS requirements for this product category.

Q: How does standoff height affect component selection? A: Standoff height determines the vertical distance between the LED and the PCB. The 0.420" specification is the primary design parameter for LEDS2M-420-01. Substitution with alternative heights (0.400" or 0.440") requires verification that the application design accommodates the dimensional change without affecting LED alignment, clearance, or electrical performance.

Q: Is inventory level a factor in substitution decisions? A: Inventory availability may influence procurement decisions. Part 8328 offers 4430 pcs in stock compared to 864 pcs for LEDS2M-420-01, providing greater availability for high-volume applications. However, inventory levels are subject to change and should be verified at time of procurement.
