ELM 1-114 LED Holder T1 3/4 PVC Black – Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELM 1-114 is a T1 3/4 LED standoff holder manufactured by Bivar Inc., designed for vertical mounting applications. This component is constructed from black PVC material and features a 0.114" (2.90mm) standoff length. The part is currently in active production status with 700 pieces available in new original inventory.

Substitute parts become necessary when the primary component reaches end-of-life status, experiences supply constraints, or when design specifications allow for minor dimensional variations within acceptable tolerances. The substitute parts listed maintain compatibility with T1 3/4 LED form factors while offering alternative standoff lengths and availability levels.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the ELM 1-114 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Primary Compatibility Criteria:

• LED Type: T1 3/4 (fixed requirement)
• Material: PVC (fixed requirement)
• Color: Black (fixed requirement)
• Manufacturer: Bivar Inc. (same manufacturer ecosystem)

Variable Parameter:

• Standoff Length: Acceptable range 0.110" to 0.118" (2.79mm to 3.00mm)

The substitute parts ELM 3-110 and ELM 3-3MM maintain identical LED type, material, and color specifications. Both parts are manufactured by Bivar Inc. and belong to the ELM 3 series. The standoff length variations (0.110" and 0.118" respectively) fall within the dimensional tolerance band that permits functional substitution in applications where minor height adjustments are acceptable.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

ELM 1-114 Primary Selection: Select the ELM 1-114 when the exact standoff length of 0.114" (2.90mm) is specified in the design documentation and current inventory availability meets project lead time requirements.

ELM 3-110 Substitution: The ELM 3-110 offers the shortest standoff length at 0.110" (2.79mm), representing a 0.004" (0.11mm) reduction from the primary part. This substitute is suitable for applications where reduced standoff height is acceptable. Inventory availability is significantly higher at 3253 pieces.

ELM 3-3MM Substitution: The ELM 3-3MM provides the longest standoff length at 0.118" (3.00mm), representing a 0.004" (0.10mm) increase from the primary part. This substitute accommodates applications requiring slightly increased standoff height. Inventory availability is 1858 pieces.

All three parts maintain identical RoHS3 compliance, MSL rating, and PVC material composition. Selection between substitutes depends on dimensional tolerance requirements within the target application and inventory availability constraints.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ELM 3-110 and ELM 3-3MM be used interchangeably with ELM 1-114?

A: Interchangeability depends on the application's tolerance for standoff length variation. The ELM 3-110 is 0.004" shorter, and the ELM 3-3MM is 0.004" longer than the ELM 1-114. Both maintain the same LED type (T1 3/4), material (PVC), and color (Black). Applications with rigid height specifications may not permit substitution.

Q: Are there differences in compliance certifications between these parts?

A: All three parts are ROHS3 compliant and carry MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited). The ELM 3-3MM includes additional REACH Unaffected status documentation. Compliance requirements are equivalent across all three parts.

Q: What is the significance of the series designation (ELM 1 vs. ELM 3)?

A: The ELM 1-114 belongs to the ELM 1 series, while ELM 3-110 and ELM 3-3MM belong to the ELM 3 series. Both series are manufactured by Bivar Inc. and share identical functional specifications for LED type, material, and color. The series designation reflects internal product line organization.

Q: How do the standoff length variations affect PCB layout?

A: Standoff length determines the vertical distance between the LED and the mounting surface. The 0.004" variation between parts may require PCB layout adjustment if precise LED height alignment is critical to the optical or mechanical design. Verify application tolerance specifications before substitution.

Q: Is packaging identical across all three parts?

A: All three parts are supplied in Bag packaging format. Quantity per bag and shipping specifications should be confirmed with the supplier for project planning purposes.

Q: What inventory considerations should guide part selection?

A: The ELM 1-114 has 700 pieces in stock, ELM 3-110 has 3253 pieces, and ELM 3-3MM has 1858 pieces. Higher inventory availability for substitute parts may reduce lead time risk for high-volume production requirements.
