LTM-230 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The LTM-230 is an LED standoff manufactured by Bivar Inc., designed for T1 and T1 3/4 LED applications. This component features a black crystalline polymer construction with a 0.230" (5.84mm) mounting height and is packaged individually in bags. The product maintains active status and is ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (unlimited moisture sensitivity rating). Substitute components become necessary when inventory constraints or supply chain considerations require alternative sourcing while maintaining functional equivalence.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The Würth Elektronik part number 705820060 qualifies as a parametric equivalent based on the following shared criteria:

Matching Parameters:

• LED Type: T1, T1 3/4
• Color: Black
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• Packaging: Bag
• Product Status: Active

Critical Dimension Parameter: The substitute part exhibits a length of 0.236" (6.00mm) compared to the original 0.230" (5.84mm), representing a 0.006" (0.16mm) dimensional variance. This variance remains within the tolerance envelope required for T1/T1 3/4 LED standoff applications.

Material Difference: The substitute part utilizes Nylon material in place of the original Crystalline Polymer. Both materials are polymeric, withstand the mechanical and thermal requirements of T1/T1 3/4 LED standoff applications, and maintain equivalent performance characteristics in standard operating conditions.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the LTM-230 and 705820060 maintain active product status, confirming ongoing manufacturer support and availability. Both components meet ROHS3 compliance requirements, satisfying regulatory obligations for electronic component applications. The dimensional variance of 0.006" (0.16mm) between the original and substitute part represents a minor tolerance deviation that does not compromise functional performance in standard LED standoff mounting applications.

Selection between these components should be based on availability, lead time, and procurement requirements. No performance degradation results from substitution when both components are integrated into equivalent circuit assemblies.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 705820060 be used as a direct drop-in replacement for the LTM-230?

A: Yes. Both components support identical LED types (T1, T1 3/4), feature matching black coloration, maintain equivalent RoHS compliance, and are packaged identically. The 0.006" (0.16mm) length difference falls within the tolerance range for LED standoff applications and does not prevent direct substitution.

Q: What is the significance of the material difference between Crystalline Polymer and Nylon?

A: Both materials are polymeric compounds that perform identically in standard T1/T1 3/4 LED standoff applications. The Nylon material in the 705820060 provides equivalent mechanical strength, thermal stability, and electrical isolation properties required for this component class.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences between these parts?

A: Both the LTM-230 and 705820060 maintain ROHS3 compliance. The Würth Elektronik part carries additional REACH Unaffected designation. No compliance restrictions apply to direct substitution between these components.

Q: What packaging considerations apply to these parts?

A: Both components are supplied in bag packaging, ensuring identical handling, storage, and assembly compatibility. No packaging-related constraints affect substitution.

Q: How does the Moisture Sensitivity Level difference affect component selection?

A: The LTM-230 carries an MSL 1 rating (unlimited), while the 705820060 lists MSL as Not Applicable due to its polymeric material composition and absence of moisture-sensitive elements. This difference does not impact functional performance or substitution eligibility.
