NTM-380 LED Standoff Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The NTM-380 is a T1/T1 3/4 LED standoff manufactured by Bivar Inc., constructed from black nylon with a 0.380" (9.65mm) length. This component is designed to provide mechanical support and vertical positioning for LED assemblies in electronic applications. The part maintains Active product status and is RoHS3 compliant. Equivalent substitute parts are identified based on matching functional parameters: LED type classification, material composition, color specification, and mechanical dimensions within acceptable tolerance ranges.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the NTM-380 are qualified based on the following criteria:

Primary Matching Parameters:

• LED Type: T1 and T1 3/4 compatibility
• Material: Nylon construction
• Color: Black
• RoHS3 Compliance: Environmental and regulatory alignment
• Product Status: Active availability

Dimensional Tolerance Consideration: Length specifications for substitute parts fall within a defined range around the nominal 0.380" dimension. The identified substitutes measure 0.374" (9.50mm) and 0.394" (10.00mm), representing variations of ±0.020" from the main part specification. These dimensional tolerances are acceptable for LED standoff applications where mechanical fit and vertical positioning accommodate standard LED lead spacing.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

NTM-380 (Primary Part): Select when Bivar Inc. sourcing is specified or when the exact 0.380" (9.65mm) length is required for application-specific mechanical constraints. Active product status ensures continued availability and supply chain stability.

705820095 (Würth Elektronik - Shorter Variant): This substitute provides a 0.374" (9.50mm) length, representing a 0.006" reduction from the main part. Selection is appropriate when slightly reduced standoff height accommodates application requirements or when Würth Elektronik supply chain preference is established. RoHS3 compliance and Nylon 66 material specification maintain functional equivalence.

705820100 (Würth Elektronik - Longer Variant): This substitute provides a 0.394" (10.00mm) length, representing a 0.014" increase from the main part. Selection is appropriate when increased standoff height is beneficial for application geometry or when Würth Elektronik supply chain preference is established. Higher inventory availability (6138 Pcs) supports extended production runs. RoHS3 compliance and Nylon 66 material specification maintain functional equivalence.

All three parts maintain Active product status, ROHS3 compliance, and compatibility with T1/T1 3/4 LED assemblies in black nylon construction.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What determines if a part can substitute for the NTM-380?

A: Substitute parts must match the following parameters: T1/T1 3/4 LED type compatibility, black nylon material, bag packaging, and RoHS3 compliance. Length specifications within ±0.020" of the nominal 0.380" dimension are acceptable for LED standoff applications.

Q: Are the Würth Elektronik parts (705820095 and 705820100) interchangeable with the NTM-380?

A: Both Würth Elektronik parts are functionally equivalent substitutes with matching LED type, material, color, and compliance specifications. The primary difference is length: 705820095 measures 0.374" (9.50mm) and 705820100 measures 0.394" (10.00mm). Selection depends on whether the application accommodates these dimensional variations.

Q: What is the significance of the length variation between substitute parts?

A: LED standoff length determines the vertical distance between the PCB surface and the LED component. The three available options (0.374", 0.380", and 0.394") provide flexibility for different PCB thicknesses and assembly configurations. Selection should align with the specific mechanical requirements of the target application.

Q: Do all substitute parts have the same RoHS compliance status?

A: Yes. The NTM-380 and both Würth Elektronik substitutes (705820095 and 705820100) are ROHS3 compliant, ensuring regulatory alignment for applications requiring RoHS certification.

Q: Which substitute part offers the best inventory availability?

A: The 705820100 (Würth Elektronik, 0.394" length) has the highest inventory level at 6138 Pcs, followed by 705820095 at 1578 Pcs, and NTM-380 at 1025 Pcs. Inventory levels support component selection for production volume requirements.

Q: Are there material differences between the NTM-380 and substitute parts?

A: The NTM-380 specifies nylon material. The Würth Elektronik substitutes specify Nylon 66, which is a defined nylon polymer grade. Both material specifications provide equivalent mechanical and thermal properties for LED standoff applications.
