RL2-210 LED Standoff Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RL2-210 is an all rectangular LED standoff manufactured by Bivar Inc., featuring a white nylon construction with a 0.210" (5.33mm) vertical mount height. This component is classified as an LED mounting standoff designed for vertical PCB applications. The part maintains Active product status and is ROHS3 compliant with unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1).

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters align within the allowed specifications for this product category. The RL2-210 has one parametric equivalent available due to inventory considerations and dimensional compatibility within the RL2 series specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RL2-210 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• Manufacturer: Bivar Inc. (same manufacturer required)
• Series: RL2 (same product series)
• Product Category: All Rectangular LEDs LED Standoff (identical functional category)
• Color: White (identical color specification)
• Material: Nylon (identical material composition)
• Mount Type: Vertical (identical mounting orientation)
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant (equivalent compliance level)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (equivalent MSL rating)

Secondary Consideration:

• Length (Height): Dimensional variation within the RL2 series is permitted when the substitute maintains mechanical compatibility with the same mounting interface and functional application space.

The RL2-200 qualifies as a parametric equivalent because it maintains all primary criteria while presenting a 0.010" (0.25mm) reduction in vertical height. This dimensional difference remains within the mechanical tolerance envelope of the RL2 series design specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

RL2-210 Selection Criteria:

• Primary choice when exact 0.210" (5.33mm) vertical height is specified in design documentation
• Recommended for applications with established PCB layout and component spacing requirements
• Current inventory: 1,165 pieces

RL2-200 Selection Criteria:

• Acceptable substitute when application tolerates 0.010" (0.25mm) height reduction
• Suitable for designs where vertical clearance permits the shorter standoff dimension
• Recommended when supply chain optimization is a secondary consideration
• Current inventory: 12,586 pieces

Compliance Basis: Both parts maintain identical ROHS3 compliance status and MSL 1 rating, confirming equivalent environmental and regulatory qualification. Both parts are Active status products from Bivar Inc., ensuring continued manufacturing support and supply chain stability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RL2-200 be used as a direct replacement for RL2-210?

A: The RL2-200 is a parametric equivalent within the RL2 series. Direct substitution is valid when the application design permits a 0.010" (0.25mm) reduction in vertical standoff height. Verify that PCB layout, component spacing, and clearance requirements accommodate this dimensional difference.

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

A: Both parts are passive LED standoff components with identical material composition (white nylon), mounting type (vertical), and functional classification. No electrical performance variation exists between these parts.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance requirements?

A: Yes. Both RL2-210 and RL2-200 are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating. Both maintain Active product status from Bivar Inc.

Q: What is the primary difference between these parts?

A: The sole difference is vertical height: RL2-210 measures 0.210" (5.33mm) while RL2-200 measures 0.200" (5.08mm). All other specifications, materials, colors, and compliance certifications are identical.

Q: How should I determine which part to use in my design?

A: Consult your PCB layout documentation and mechanical assembly drawings. If the design specifies 0.210" height or if vertical clearance is constrained, use RL2-210. If the design permits height variation within the RL2 series tolerance envelope, RL2-200 is acceptable.

Q: Are both parts available in the same packaging format?

A: Yes. Both RL2-210 and RL2-200 are supplied in Bag packaging, ensuring consistent handling and storage procedures.
