NTM-200 LED Standoff Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The NTM-200 is a T1/T1 3/4 LED standoff manufactured by Bivar Inc., designed for vertical mounting applications with a 0.200" (5.08mm) length. This component is constructed from black nylon material and is classified as an active product with ROHS3 compliance. LED standoffs serve as mechanical spacers and alignment fixtures in electronic assemblies, positioning light-emitting diodes at precise heights and angles relative to printed circuit boards. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters are maintained across alternative manufacturers or product series.

Key Parameters

Parameter	Value	Specification Basis
LED Type	T1, T1 3/4	Physical form factor compatibility
Length	0.200" (5.08mm)	Mounting height and spacing requirement
Material	Black Nylon	Mechanical and thermal properties
Color	Black	Visual and optical properties
RoHS Status	ROHS3 Compliant	Environmental and regulatory compliance
Moisture Sensitivity Level	1 (Unlimited)	Storage and handling requirements

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the NTM-200 is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters:

Critical Matching Parameters:

LED Type: T1 or T1 3/4 form factor
Length: 0.200" (5.08mm) nominal dimension
Material: Black Nylon construction
Color: Black finish
RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant status

The substitute parts SLM-200 (Bivar Inc.) and 705820050 (Würth Elektronik) satisfy all critical parameters. Both parts maintain identical LED type compatibility, material composition, and color specification. Length specifications are equivalent within standard manufacturing tolerances (0.200" vs. 0.197"). Both substitute parts carry ROHS3 compliance certification, ensuring regulatory alignment with the primary part.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

NTM-200 (Primary Part): Select when Bivar Inc. sourcing is specified or preferred. Product status is active with 924 units in stock. ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating support standard storage conditions.

SLM-200 (Bivar Inc. Substitute): Identical manufacturer with equivalent specifications. Suitable for direct substitution when NTM-200 availability is limited. 760 units in stock. Maintains all compliance certifications and MSL rating.

705820050 (Würth Elektronik Substitute): Cross-manufacturer equivalent with highest inventory availability (27,739 units). Length specification is 0.197" (5.00mm), representing a 0.003" (0.08mm) dimensional variance within standard mechanical tolerances for LED standoff applications. Material specification includes UL94 V-2 flame rating, providing additional flammability documentation. ROHS3 compliant. MSL classification listed as Not Applicable, indicating different moisture handling protocols than Bivar products.

All three parts maintain active product status and full regulatory compliance. Selection should prioritize availability, supply chain requirements, and established vendor relationships.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can SLM-200 be used as a direct replacement for NTM-200?

A: Yes. Both parts are manufactured by Bivar Inc. and share identical specifications for LED type (T1/T1 3/4), length (0.200"), material (black nylon), and compliance status (ROHS3). No design modifications are required.

Q: Is the 0.003" length difference between NTM-200 and 705820050 significant?

A: The 0.200" (5.08mm) versus 0.197" (5.00mm) difference falls within standard manufacturing tolerances for nylon LED standoffs. This variance does not affect mechanical fit or functional performance in typical LED mounting applications. Application-specific height requirements should be verified if precision spacing is critical.

Q: What is the difference in MSL ratings between Bivar and Würth Elektronik parts?

A: NTM-200 and SLM-200 carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) ratings, indicating minimal moisture sensitivity and standard storage conditions. The 705820050 lists MSL as Not Applicable, reflecting Würth Elektronik's classification methodology for nylon standoff components. Both approaches indicate low moisture-related risk during normal handling and storage.

Q: Which substitute offers the best inventory availability?

A: The 705820050 (Würth Elektronik) provides the highest stock level at 27,739 units, compared to 924 units for NTM-200 and 760 units for SLM-200. This availability advantage may support extended production schedules or rapid fulfillment requirements.

Q: Are all three parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. NTM-200, SLM-200, and 705820050 all carry ROHS3 Compliant certification, ensuring compliance with European Union Restriction of Hazardous Substances regulations.

Q: Can packaging format affect substitution decisions?

A: All three parts are supplied in Bag packaging format. No packaging-related substitution restrictions apply.
