STD_430_BLK LED Holder Tri-Lead Black Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The STD_430_BLK is a tri-lead LED standoff manufactured by Visual Communications Company (VCC) with a 0.430" (10.92mm) length specification. This component is classified as obsolete, making equivalent and substitute parts necessary for ongoing production and maintenance applications. The part is ROHS3 compliant and suitable for vertical LED mounting applications requiring precise standoff height.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the STD_430_BLK are determined by the following critical parameters:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• LED Type: Tri-Lead configuration
• Color: Black
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant
• Length Tolerance: Parts within the 0.420" to 0.450" range (10.67mm to 11.43mm)
• Material Compatibility: PVC construction
• Regulatory Classification: ECCN EAR99, HTSUS 3926.90.9985

The substitute parts are grouped into two categories: direct length equivalents and parametric equivalents with minor length variations. All substitutes maintain tri-lead LED compatibility and black color specification. Length variations of ±0.020" (0.51mm) from the nominal 0.430" specification are within acceptable parametric equivalence for LED standoff applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct Equivalent (Preferred): The ELM 3-430 manufactured by Bivar Inc. is the direct length equivalent at 0.430" (10.92mm). This part maintains active product status and ROHS3 compliance. The ELM 3-430 is available in higher inventory (1060 pcs) compared to the obsolete STD_430_BLK (639 pcs).

Parametric Equivalents (Length Variants): The Keystone Electronics parts (8917, 8918, 8919) provide tri-lead LED standoff solutions with length specifications of 0.420", 0.440", and 0.450" respectively. All three maintain ROHS3 compliance and active product status. Selection among these variants depends on specific application height requirements:

• 8917 (0.420"): Shortest option, suitable for applications requiring reduced standoff height
• 8918 (0.440"): Mid-range option, 0.010" taller than nominal specification
• 8919 (0.450"): Tallest option, 0.020" taller than nominal specification

All substitute parts feature PVC material construction and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1), indicating superior environmental stability compared to the original part's not-applicable MSL designation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ELM 3-430 directly replace STD_430_BLK? A: Yes. The ELM 3-430 matches the 0.430" (10.92mm) length specification and maintains tri-lead LED compatibility, black color, and ROHS3 compliance. The part is currently in active production status with adequate inventory availability.

Q: What is the difference between the Keystone Electronics parts (8917, 8918, 8919)? A: These parts differ only in length specification: 8917 is 0.420", 8918 is 0.440", and 8919 is 0.450". All maintain identical tri-lead LED type, black color, PVC material, and ROHS3 compliance. Selection depends on the required standoff height for your specific application.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant? A: Yes. All listed substitute parts (ELM 3-430, 8917, 8918, 8919) are ROHS3 compliant, matching the compliance status of the original STD_430_BLK.

Q: What is the packaging difference between substitute parts? A: ELM 3-430 is supplied in bag packaging, while Keystone Electronics parts (8917, 8918, 8919) are supplied in bulk packaging. Packaging selection may affect handling and storage procedures but does not impact functional compatibility.

Q: Why is the original STD_430_BLK marked as obsolete? A: Obsolete status indicates the part is no longer manufactured by VCC. Substitute parts from active manufacturers (Bivar Inc. and Keystone Electronics) provide equivalent functionality with ongoing production support and availability.

Q: Can I use a length variant (8917, 8918, or 8919) if the exact 0.430" length is not available? A: Length selection depends on your application's mechanical constraints. The 0.420" (8917), 0.440" (8918), and 0.450" (8919) variants provide ±0.020" tolerance around the nominal specification. Verify that your PCB layout and component clearances accommodate the selected length before implementation.

Q: What is the MSL rating and why does it matter? A: MSL (Moisture Sensitivity Level) 1 indicates unlimited shelf life and moisture exposure tolerance. The original STD_430_BLK has not-applicable MSL designation, while all substitutes feature MSL 1, providing superior environmental stability and extended storage capability.
