Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RL2-280-020 is determined by the following parameters:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• Manufacturer: Bivar Inc. (same manufacturer ensures design compatibility)
• Series: RL2 (same product family)
• Material: White Nylon (identical material specification)
• Color: White (identical color specification)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) (identical environmental rating)

Secondary Substitution Parameter:

• Length: Tolerance range 0.270" to 0.290" (±0.010" from nominal 0.280")

The RL2-280-020 has three qualified substitutes within the RL2 series: RL2-280, RL2-270, and RL2-290. These parts share identical material composition, color specification, and MSL rating. Length variations accommodate mechanical design flexibility within standard LED mounting applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitute: RL2-280

The RL2-280 is the direct equivalent to RL2-280-020, maintaining identical length specification (0.280" / 7.11mm) and all material properties. The RL2-280 carries Active product status and ROHS3 compliance certification, providing superior supply chain availability and regulatory alignment compared to the obsolete RL2-280-020.

Secondary Substitutes: RL2-270 and RL2-290

The RL2-270 (0.270" / 6.86mm) and RL2-290 (0.290" / 7.37mm) are parametric equivalents suitable for applications where mechanical height tolerance permits length variation. Both parts maintain Active product status and ROHS3 compliance. Selection between these options depends on specific PCB layout and LED mounting height requirements.

All three substitute parts are manufactured by Bivar Inc. within the RL2 series, ensuring mechanical and electrical compatibility with the original RL2-280-020 design.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RL2-280 directly replace RL2-280-020 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The RL2-280 is dimensionally and functionally identical to RL2-280-020, with identical length (0.280" / 7.11mm), material (white nylon), and MSL rating (1 / Unlimited). The primary difference is product status: RL2-280 is Active while RL2-280-020 is Obsolete.

Q: What is the difference between RL2-270, RL2-280, and RL2-290?

A: These three parts are identical except for length specification. RL2-270 measures 0.270" (6.86mm), RL2-280 measures 0.280" (7.11mm), and RL2-290 measures 0.290" (7.37mm). All share the same material, color, and MSL rating.

Q: Can RL2-270 or RL2-290 be used instead of RL2-280-020?

A: RL2-270 and RL2-290 are parametric equivalents suitable for substitution only if the application design permits the length variation (±0.010" from nominal). Verify PCB layout and LED mounting height clearance before substitution.

Q: What packaging options are available for substitute parts?

A: RL2-280 is supplied in Bulk packaging. RL2-270 and RL2-290 are supplied in Bag packaging. Packaging selection should align with production volume and inventory management requirements.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: RL2-280, RL2-270, and RL2-290 are all ROHS3 Compliant. The original RL2-280-020 has Vendor Undefined RoHS status. Substitution with any of the three alternatives ensures regulatory compliance.

Q: What is the inventory status for substitute parts?

A: RL2-280 has 632 pieces in stock, RL2-270 has 765 pieces in stock, and RL2-290 has 872 pieces in stock. All three substitutes are available for immediate procurement.
