Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the SLM-220 are identified based on strict equivalence of the following parameters:

  • LED Form Factor: Both main and substitute parts support T1 and T1 3/4 LED configurations
  • Material Composition: Both utilize nylon construction for mechanical and thermal properties
  • Color: Both are black, ensuring visual and functional consistency
  • Length Tolerance: Substitute part length of 0.216" (5.50mm) falls within acceptable mechanical tolerance range relative to the main part specification of 0.220" (5.59mm), representing a variance of 0.004" (0.09mm)
  • Regulatory Compliance: Both parts maintain RoHS3 compliance status

The substitute part 705820055 from Würth Elektronik meets all critical substitution criteria and is classified as a parametric equivalent based on these aligned specifications.
