SLM-260 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SLM-260 is a T1/T1 3/4 LED standoff manufactured by Bivar Inc., constructed from black nylon with a height of 0.260" (6.60mm). This component is classified as an active product with ROHS3 compliance and is designed for vertical mounting applications. The identification of equivalent and substitute parts is necessary to ensure supply chain continuity, support multiple sourcing strategies, and maintain design flexibility across manufacturing operations.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the SLM-260 is determined by conformance to the following critical parameters:

• LED Type Compatibility: T1 or T1 3/4 form factors
• Material Specification: Nylon construction
• Color Specification: Black
• Height Tolerance: 0.260" (6.60mm) nominal dimension, with permissible mechanical tolerance variation
• Compliance Requirements: ROHS3 certification minimum
• Environmental Rating: Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 or equivalent non-critical designation

The Würth Elektronik part number 705820065 meets these substitution criteria. The 0.256" (6.50mm) height represents a mechanical tolerance variation within acceptable manufacturing limits for LED standoff applications, maintaining functional compatibility with the SLM-260.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the SLM-260 and 705820065 are active products with ROHS3 compliance, suitable for applications requiring lead-free component qualification. Selection between these parts should be based on:

• Inventory Availability: SLM-260 (744 Pcs in stock) versus 705820065 (4385 Pcs in stock)
• Supply Chain Strategy: Multiple sourcing options reduce single-manufacturer dependency
• Height Tolerance Requirements: The 0.004" (0.10mm) height differential must be evaluated against specific application circuit board layout constraints

The 705820065 offers substantially higher inventory availability and represents a valid mechanical equivalent for applications where the minor height variation does not impose design constraints.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 705820065 substitute for the SLM-260 in all applications?

A: The 705820065 is functionally equivalent for T1/T1 3/4 LED standoff applications. The 0.004" height difference must be confirmed as acceptable for your specific PCB layout and assembly process.

Q: What is the significance of the nylon material variation (Nylon 66 vs. general nylon specification)?

A: Nylon 66 is a standard formulation of nylon with established UL94 V-2 flame rating. Both materials are compatible for LED standoff applications and meet ROHS3 requirements.

Q: Are there differences in moisture sensitivity or environmental handling between these parts?

A: The SLM-260 specifies Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (unlimited storage). The 705820065 indicates REACH Unaffected status and is not classified for moisture sensitivity, indicating equivalent or superior environmental tolerance.

Q: Does the ECCN/HTSUS difference affect procurement?

A: ECCN and HTSUS codes reflect regulatory classification for export and tariff purposes. These differences do not affect functional compatibility and are determined by component construction and material origin rather than electrical performance.
