SLM-730 LED Standoff Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SLM-730 is an LED standoff manufactured by Bivar Inc., designed for T1 and T1 3/4 LED applications. This component functions as a mechanical support and positioning element for light-emitting diodes in vertical mounting configurations. The part is constructed from black nylon material and measures 0.730" (18.54mm) in length.

The SLM-730 maintains Active product status with 1014 pieces currently in stock. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters align with the original specification, enabling component interchangeability in applications where the primary functional requirements remain constant.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the SLM-730 are identified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional equivalence:

LED Type Compatibility: Both the main part and substitute must support T1 and T1 3/4 LED form factors.

Material Specification: Nylon construction is required to maintain mechanical and thermal properties consistent with the original design.

Color Match: Black coloring ensures visual consistency in end-use applications.

Length Tolerance: The standoff length must fall within acceptable mechanical tolerances for vertical mounting applications. The SLM-730 specifies 0.730" (18.54mm); substitute parts with lengths of 0.709" (18.00mm) remain functionally equivalent within standard mechanical tolerances for LED standoff applications.

Regulatory Compliance: ROHS3 compliance is mandatory for all substitute parts to meet environmental and material restriction requirements.

Packaging Format: Bag packaging maintains consistency with handling and inventory procedures.

The Würth Elektronik part number 705820180 satisfies all substitution criteria and is classified as a parametric equivalent.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the SLM-730 and 705820180 are Active products with current manufacturing status and full ROHS3 compliance certification. Selection between these parts is determined by application-specific mechanical tolerance requirements and supplier availability.

The SLM-730 provides the original specification length of 0.730" (18.54mm). The Würth Elektronik 705820180 offers a substitute option with a length of 0.709" (18.00mm), representing a 0.021" (0.54mm) dimensional difference. This variance falls within standard mechanical tolerances for LED standoff applications and does not affect electrical performance or LED compatibility.

Both parts utilize nylon material construction with equivalent mechanical properties. The 705820180 specifies Nylon 66 with UL94 V-2 rating, providing documented flame-resistance characteristics. Both parts maintain MSL 1 or equivalent moisture sensitivity classification, indicating no moisture-related handling restrictions.

Selection should be based on dimensional fit requirements within the specific application assembly, current inventory availability, and established supplier relationships.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Würth Elektronik 705820180 be used as a direct replacement for the SLM-730?

A: Yes, the 705820180 is a parametric equivalent substitute. Both parts support T1 and T1 3/4 LED types, utilize black nylon material, and maintain ROHS3 compliance. The 0.021" (0.54mm) length difference falls within standard mechanical tolerances for LED standoff applications.

Q: What is the significance of the length difference between these parts?

A: The SLM-730 measures 0.730" (18.54mm) while the 705820180 measures 0.709" (18.00mm). This 0.021" variance represents a 2.9% dimensional difference. For most LED standoff applications, this tolerance is acceptable and does not affect LED positioning or electrical performance. Application-specific mechanical constraints should be evaluated if precise height matching is critical.

Q: Are there any material property differences between the nylon used in each part?

A: The SLM-730 specifies nylon material without additional grade designation. The 705820180 specifies Nylon 66 with UL94 V-2 flame-resistance rating. Nylon 66 is a standard engineering-grade nylon with well-documented mechanical and thermal properties. Both materials are suitable for LED standoff applications and provide equivalent performance in standard operating conditions.

Q: Do both parts have the same moisture sensitivity requirements?

A: The SLM-730 carries MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture-related handling restrictions. The 705820180 lists Moisture Sensitivity Level as Not Applicable, which is consistent with nylon material properties. Both parts can be handled and stored using standard component procedures without special moisture control measures.

Q: What regulatory certifications apply to both parts?

A: Both the SLM-730 and 705820180 are ROHS3 compliant, meeting European Union Restriction of Hazardous Substances requirements. Both parts carry ECCN classification EAR99, indicating standard commercial component status. The 705820180 additionally carries REACH Unaffected status, confirming compliance with European chemical regulation requirements.

Q: Can these parts be mixed within the same assembly or production batch?

A: Yes, both parts can be used interchangeably within the same assembly or production batch, provided that the 0.021" length difference does not create mechanical conflicts with the specific application design. Mechanical fit verification should be performed during initial design validation if precise height matching is required.
