LED Spacer LEDS3-3-26 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The LEDS3-3-26 is an LED spacer manufactured by Essentra Components, designed for T1 and T1 3/4 LED applications. This black PVC flexible standoff measures 0.189" (4.80mm) in length and is classified as an active product. LED spacers are essential components in electronic assemblies, providing mechanical support and precise positioning for LED leads during PCB mounting and soldering operations. Identifying equivalent substitute parts ensures design flexibility and supply chain continuity when the primary part becomes unavailable.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the LEDS3-3-26 are identified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional equivalence:

• LED Type Compatibility: Both main and substitute parts must support T1 and T1 3/4 LED packages
• Length Tolerance: Substitute length must fall within acceptable mechanical tolerance (0.189" ± acceptable variance)
• Material Properties: Material must provide equivalent mechanical support and flexibility characteristics
• Color: Black finish for consistent appearance in assemblies
• Product Status: Active status ensures ongoing availability and support
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS compliance required for environmental and regulatory adherence

The LTM-190 meets these substitution criteria through compatible LED type support, equivalent length specification (0.190"), and active product status with appropriate compliance certifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the LEDS3-3-26 and LTM-190 are active products with current manufacturing status and full regulatory compliance. The LEDS3-3-26 maintains RoHS compliance, while the LTM-190 meets the more stringent ROHS3 standard. Both parts are REACH Unaffected and carry EAR99 export classification. The length differential of 0.01" (0.03mm) between the two parts falls within typical mechanical tolerances for LED spacer applications. Selection between these parts should be based on material preference (PVC flexible versus crystalline polymer), supplier availability, and specific assembly requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the LTM-190 directly replace the LEDS3-3-26 in existing designs?

A: Yes, the LTM-190 is a functional equivalent for the LEDS3-3-26. Both parts support T1 and T1 3/4 LED types, feature black coloring, and maintain compatible length specifications within standard mechanical tolerances. The 0.01" length difference is negligible for typical LED mounting applications.

Q: What is the material difference between these two parts?

A: The LEDS3-3-26 uses flexible PVC material, while the LTM-190 uses crystalline polymer. Both materials provide adequate mechanical support for LED standoff applications. Material selection depends on specific assembly environment requirements and thermal considerations.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The LEDS3-3-26 is RoHS Compliant, and the LTM-190 meets the more recent ROHS3 Compliant standard. Both satisfy RoHS requirements for restricted substance elimination.

Q: What packaging formats are available?

A: Both the LEDS3-3-26 and LTM-190 are supplied in bulk packaging, suitable for high-volume manufacturing and assembly operations.

Q: Are there any export restrictions on these parts?

A: Both parts carry EAR99 export classification and are REACH Unaffected, indicating standard export treatment with no special licensing requirements for most jurisdictions.
