RL1-200 LED Standoff Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RL1-200 is an all rectangular LED standoff manufactured by Bivar Inc., featuring a white nylon construction with a 0.200" (5.08mm) vertical mount configuration. This component is classified as an LED mounting standoff designed for applications requiring mechanical support and vertical positioning of rectangular LED assemblies. The part maintains Active product status and is ROHS3 compliant with MSL Level 1 (Unlimited moisture sensitivity rating).

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters align with the original specification, enabling direct functional replacement in assembly applications without design modification.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The RL2-200 is identified as a parametric equivalent to the RL1-200 based on the following alignment of critical mechanical and material specifications:

Matching Parameters:

• Color: White
• Material: Nylon
• Length: 0.200" (5.08mm)
• Product Category: All Rectangular LEDs LED Standoff
• Packaging: Bag
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)
• Manufacturer: Bivar Inc.

The substitution is valid because both parts share identical dimensional, material, and compliance characteristics. The primary distinction is the series designation (RL1 versus RL2), which reflects manufacturing lineage within the same product family rather than functional differentiation.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both RL1-200 and RL2-200 maintain Active product status and satisfy ROHS3 compliance requirements. Selection between these parts should be based on inventory availability and supply chain considerations. The RL2-200 demonstrates significantly higher inventory levels (12586 units versus 982 units), which may provide supply chain advantages for high-volume production requirements.

Both parts carry identical MSL Level 1 ratings, indicating no moisture-related storage restrictions. No design modifications are required when transitioning between these parts, as all mechanical and material specifications are equivalent.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RL2-200 be used as a direct replacement for RL1-200?

A: Yes. The RL2-200 is a direct parametric equivalent. All critical specifications including color, material composition, dimensional length, packaging format, and compliance certifications are identical. No circuit or mechanical redesign is necessary.

Q: What is the difference between RL1-200 and RL2-200?

A: The parts differ only in series designation (RL1 versus RL2). This reflects different manufacturing generations within Bivar Inc.'s product line. Functionally and mechanically, the parts are equivalent.

Q: Are there any moisture sensitivity concerns with either part?

A: No. Both parts carry MSL Level 1 (Unlimited) ratings, indicating no moisture-related handling or storage restrictions apply to either component.

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs?

A: Either part is acceptable for new designs. Selection may be influenced by inventory availability. The RL2-200 currently maintains higher stock levels.

Q: Do both parts meet RoHS requirements?

A: Yes. Both RL1-200 and RL2-200 are ROHS3 compliant and suitable for applications requiring RoHS certification.

Q: Is the packaging identical between these parts?

A: Yes. Both parts are supplied in Bag packaging format.
