LEDS2M-460-01 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The LEDS2M-460-01 is a T1 3/4 LED spacer manufactured by Essentra Components. This molded nylon standoff measures 0.460" (11.68mm) in length and is designed for T1 3/4 LED applications. The part is currently active in production with 1003 units in stock. LED spacers are essential components in PCB assembly, providing precise mechanical positioning and electrical isolation for LED leads during insertion and soldering operations. Equivalent substitute parts are available from both Essentra Components and Keystone Electronics, offering alternative length specifications within the T1 3/4 LED standoff category.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the LEDS2M-460-01 is determined by the following parameters: LED type (T1 3/4), material (nylon), and color (natural). These parameters define the mechanical and functional compatibility class. Length variations are permitted within the substitute group, as different standoff heights accommodate different PCB-to-LED clearance requirements while maintaining the same LED lead diameter compatibility.

The substitute parts are grouped into the following categories based on length specification:

0.440" Length Group: LEDS2M-440-01 (Essentra Components) and 8329 (Keystone Electronics)

0.450" Length Group: 8330 (Keystone Electronics)

0.460" Length Group: 8331 (Keystone Electronics) — exact length match to main part

0.480" Length Group: 8332 (Keystone Electronics)

All substitute parts maintain T1 3/4 LED compatibility, nylon construction, and natural color specification.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All substitute parts listed are active products with current production status. Selection between LEDS2M-460-01 and its equivalents should be based on the specific length requirement for your application:

Direct Replacement (0.460" Length): Part 8331 from Keystone Electronics provides identical length specification to the main part. Both LEDS2M-460-01 and 8331 are RoHS compliant with MSL rating 1.

Alternative Lengths: Parts LEDS2M-440-01, 8329, 8330, and 8332 offer different standoff heights. Selection of alternative lengths depends on PCB design clearance requirements and LED lead positioning specifications.

Compliance Considerations: All parts meet RoHS requirements. LEDS2M-460-01 carries RoHS Compliant status, while Keystone Electronics parts carry ROHS3 Compliant status. Both certifications satisfy RoHS directive requirements.

Inventory Availability: Keystone Electronics part 8329 (0.440" length) offers the highest inventory level at 5732 units. LEDS2M-460-01 maintains 1003 units in stock.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I substitute LEDS2M-460-01 with a different length spacer?

A: Yes, alternative lengths within the T1 3/4 LED spacer category are functionally equivalent if your PCB design accommodates the different standoff height. Length selection is determined by required LED lead clearance from the PCB surface.

Q: What is the difference between RoHS Compliant and ROHS3 Compliant?

A: Both certifications indicate compliance with RoHS directives. RoHS Compliant refers to the original RoHS 2002/95/EC directive, while ROHS3 Compliant refers to the recast directive 2011/65/EU. Both are acceptable for equivalent substitution.

Q: Are Essentra Components and Keystone Electronics parts interchangeable?

A: Yes, parts from both manufacturers are interchangeable when LED type, material, color, and length specifications match. Both manufacturers produce nylon T1 3/4 LED spacers to equivalent mechanical standards.

Q: Does MSL rating affect substitution eligibility?

A: MSL rating does not affect mechanical or electrical substitution eligibility. Both MSL 1 (Unlimited) and Not Applicable ratings indicate the part is not moisture-sensitive and suitable for standard storage and handling conditions.

Q: Which part should I select if exact length matching is critical?

A: For exact 0.460" length matching, select either LEDS2M-460-01 (Essentra Components) or 8331 (Keystone Electronics). Both parts provide identical standoff height specification.
