RL1-210 LED Standoff Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RL1-210 is an all rectangular LED standoff manufactured by Bivar Inc., featuring a white nylon construction with a 0.210" (5.33mm) vertical mount configuration. This component is classified as an LED mounting standoff designed for applications requiring precise vertical LED positioning and alignment. The part maintains Active product status and is RoHS3 compliant, ensuring compliance with current environmental and safety standards. Substitute parts are identified when inventory constraints, lead time requirements, or design flexibility necessitate alternative components that maintain functional equivalence within specified mechanical and electrical parameters.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RL1-210 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• Product Category: All Rectangular LEDs LED Standoff
• Material: Nylon
• Color: White
• Packaging: Bag
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

Secondary Consideration:

• Length tolerance: Mechanical height variation within acceptable design margins

The RL2-200 qualifies as a parametric equivalent substitute based on matching all primary criteria. The length differential of 0.010" (0.25mm) represents a minor mechanical variation within the rectangular LED standoff product family. Both parts share identical material composition, color specification, compliance certifications, and moisture sensitivity ratings, establishing functional equivalence for applications where this dimensional tolerance is acceptable.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

RL1-210 Selection Criteria:

• Primary choice when 0.210" (5.33mm) vertical height is specified in design documentation
• Active product status ensures ongoing manufacturer support and supply continuity
• ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating support unrestricted storage and handling

RL2-200 Selection Criteria:

• Acceptable substitute when design specifications permit 0.200" (5.08mm) height
• Active product status with higher inventory availability (12,586 pcs vs. 946 pcs) supports expedited procurement
• Identical compliance certifications (ROHS3, EAR99, MSL 1) ensure regulatory equivalence
• Nylon material and white color maintain mechanical and optical properties

Both parts satisfy current environmental and export compliance requirements. Selection between RL1-210 and RL2-200 depends solely on mechanical height tolerance acceptance within the target application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What determines if RL2-200 can substitute for RL1-210?

A: Substitution is valid when the application design permits a 0.010" (0.25mm) reduction in vertical standoff height. Both parts share identical material (nylon), color (white), product category (rectangular LED standoff), compliance ratings (ROHS3), and moisture sensitivity classification (MSL 1). The length difference is the only parameter variation.

Q: Are there electrical performance differences between RL1-210 and RL2-200?

A: No electrical parameters are specified for either part in the provided data. Both components function as mechanical LED standoffs. Electrical performance is determined by the LED component mounted on the standoff, not the standoff itself.

Q: Can RL2-200 be used in applications originally designed for RL1-210?

A: Yes, provided the application design accommodates the 0.200" (5.08mm) height. The 0.010" (0.25mm) dimensional difference must be evaluated against mechanical clearance, alignment, and spacing requirements in the target assembly.

Q: What is the inventory status difference between these parts?

A: RL1-210 has 946 pcs in stock, while RL2-200 has 12,586 pcs available. Higher RL2-200 inventory may support shorter lead times for procurement-constrained applications.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both RL1-210 and RL2-200 are ROHS3 compliant and carry identical MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity ratings, ensuring equivalent environmental and handling compliance.

Q: What packaging format is used for both parts?

A: Both parts are supplied in Bag packaging, maintaining consistent handling and storage requirements.
