STD_900_BLK LED Holder Tri-Lead Black Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The STD_900_BLK is a tri-lead LED standoff manufactured by Visual Communications Company (VCC), designed to mount and position LEDs with a 0.900" (22.86mm) height. This component is classified as obsolete, making identification of equivalent and substitute parts essential for ongoing production and maintenance applications. The part maintains ROHS3 compliance and is suitable for applications requiring standardized LED mounting solutions.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the STD_900_BLK is determined by the following critical parameters:

Primary Matching Criteria:

• LED Type: Tri-Lead configuration
• Length: 0.900" (22.86mm)
• Color: Black
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant
• HTSUS Classification: 3926.90.9985

Substitution Logic:

The LTM-900 (Bivar Inc.) qualifies as a similar manufacturer part with matching length (0.900"), black color, and ROHS3 compliance. While the LED type differs (T1, T1 3/4 versus Tri-Lead), the mechanical mounting height and footprint remain equivalent for standard PCB applications.

The 8930 (Keystone Electronics) is a parametric equivalent featuring identical tri-lead LED type, matching 0.900" length, black color, and ROHS3 compliance. Material composition differs (PVC versus unspecified in main part), but electrical and mechanical performance parameters align.

The 8931 (Keystone Electronics) presents a length variance at 0.925" (23.50mm), representing a 0.025" (0.64mm) dimensional difference from the main part. This part maintains tri-lead LED type, black color, and ROHS3 compliance but should be evaluated for application-specific height tolerance requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitute: 8930 (Keystone Electronics)

The 8930 is the optimal substitute for the obsolete STD_900_BLK. This part maintains identical tri-lead LED type, matching 0.900" length specification, black color, and ROHS3 compliance. Both parts share the same HTSUS classification (3926.90.9985) and export control designation (EAR99). The 8930 is currently in active production with 1140 units in stock, ensuring supply continuity.

Secondary Substitute: LTM-900 (Bivar Inc.)

The LTM-900 qualifies as an alternative with matching 0.900" length and ROHS3 compliance. The LED type specification differs (T1, T1 3/4 versus Tri-Lead), but mechanical mounting dimensions remain compatible for standard PCB applications. This part is active and available with 873 units in stock.

Conditional Substitute: 8931 (Keystone Electronics)

The 8931 presents a dimensional variance with 0.925" length versus the specified 0.900". This 0.025" difference may impact applications with strict height tolerances or constrained mounting spaces. The part maintains tri-lead LED type, black color, and ROHS3 compliance. Selection requires confirmation that the increased height does not violate application requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 8930 directly replace the STD_900_BLK in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 8930 matches all critical parameters: tri-lead LED type, 0.900" length, black color, ROHS3 compliance, and identical HTSUS classification. No design modification is required.

Q: What is the significance of the 0.025" length difference in the 8931?

A: The 8931 measures 0.925" versus the specified 0.900". This 0.025" (0.64mm) increase may affect PCB clearance, enclosure fit, or optical alignment in applications with tight height constraints. Dimensional verification against application requirements is necessary before substitution.

Q: Why does the LTM-900 have a different LED type designation?

A: The LTM-900 specifies T1 and T1 3/4 LED types, while the STD_900_BLK uses tri-lead designation. Both configurations accommodate standard LED packages with compatible mechanical mounting. The functional difference relates to LED package geometry rather than standoff performance.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. The STD_900_BLK, LTM-900, 8930, and 8931 all carry ROHS3 compliance certification, ensuring regulatory alignment for applications subject to RoHS requirements.

Q: What packaging formats are available for these substitutes?

A: The LTM-900 is supplied in bag packaging. The 8930 and 8931 are supplied in bulk packaging. Packaging selection may impact procurement processes and inventory management.

Q: Which substitute offers the best inventory availability?

A: The 8930 provides the highest current stock level at 1140 units, followed by the STD_900_BLK at 978 units, LTM-900 at 873 units, and 8931 at 664 units.
