ELM 1-095 LED Standoff Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELM 1-095 is a T1 3/4 LED standoff manufactured by Bivar Inc., designed for vertical mounting applications. This component features a black PVC construction with a 0.095" (2.41mm) length specification. The part is currently in active production status with ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1).

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters are maintained across the same product category, enabling direct replacement in applications where the primary part number becomes unavailable or inventory constraints require alternative sourcing.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The ELM 3-095 qualifies as a parametric equivalent to the ELM 1-095 based on the following matching specifications:

• LED Configuration: Both parts use T1 3/4 LED form factor
• Physical Length: Identical 0.095" (2.41mm) dimension
• Material Composition: Black PVC construction in both parts
• Mounting Orientation: Vertical standoff mounting (SR VERT) maintained
• Environmental Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant status identical
• Moisture Sensitivity: MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating consistent across both parts
• Manufacturer: Both manufactured by Bivar Inc.

The primary distinction between these parts lies in the series designation (ELM 1 versus ELM 3) and base product number, which reflects internal product line organization rather than functional or dimensional differences in the standoff specification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both ELM 1-095 and ELM 3-095 maintain active production status with identical compliance certifications (ROHS3). Selection between these parts should be based on:

Availability and Lead Time: The ELM 3-095 currently maintains higher inventory levels (3721 Pcs) compared to ELM 1-095 (835 Pcs), which may influence procurement decisions when extended lead times are a consideration.

Regulatory Compliance: Both parts satisfy ROHS3 requirements and carry MSL 1 rating, confirming suitability for applications with standard moisture and environmental exposure conditions.

Mechanical Compatibility: Identical dimensional specifications (0.095" length), material composition (black PVC), and mounting orientation (vertical standoff) ensure direct mechanical interchangeability in PCB layouts and mechanical assemblies.

Supply Chain Continuity: Either part number may be specified in design documentation or procurement systems; however, the parametric equivalence permits substitution without design modification when supply constraints occur.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ELM 3-095 be used as a direct replacement for ELM 1-095 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The ELM 3-095 maintains identical electrical and mechanical parameters including LED type (T1 3/4), length (0.095"), material (black PVC), and mounting style (vertical standoff). No design modification is required for substitution.

Q: What is the difference between the ELM 1 and ELM 3 series?

A: The series designation reflects internal product line organization by Bivar Inc. The ELM 1-095 and ELM 3-095 are functionally and dimensionally equivalent for the specified standoff application.

Q: Are both parts compliant with RoHS regulations?

A: Yes. Both ELM 1-095 and ELM 3-095 carry ROHS3 Compliant certification, confirming compliance with current RoHS directives.

Q: What does MSL 1 (Unlimited) mean for these components?

A: MSL 1 indicates the lowest moisture sensitivity level, meaning these PVC standoff components have unlimited shelf life under standard storage conditions without requiring special moisture control measures.

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs?

A: Either part number is acceptable for new designs. Selection may be influenced by current inventory availability, supplier lead times, or existing part number standardization within your organization.

Q: Are there any packaging differences between these parts?

A: Both parts are supplied in Bag packaging format. Confirm specific quantity requirements with your supplier for procurement planning.
