ELM 1-205 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELM 1-205 is a T1 3/4 LED Standoff in black PVC with a 0.205" (5.21mm) length, manufactured by Bivar Inc. This component is classified as Active product status and serves as a mechanical mounting solution for T1 3/4 LED assemblies. Alternative models become necessary when specific length requirements vary slightly across production batches, design revisions, or supplier availability constraints while maintaining functional compatibility within the T1 3/4 LED standoff category.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitutes for the ELM 1-205 are determined by compatibility across the following critical parameters:

• LED Type: Must be T1 3/4 to ensure mechanical fit with standard LED packages
• Color: Black finish for consistency in appearance and light absorption properties
• Material Compatibility: PVC or equivalent polymer materials for mechanical performance
• Length Tolerance: 0.200" to 0.201" (5.08mm to 5.10mm) represents acceptable dimensional variation within functional requirements for LED standoff positioning
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant status ensures regulatory alignment
• Moisture Sensitivity: MSL 1 or Not Applicable maintains environmental stability requirements

The substitute parts ELM 1-200 and 0035.9206 meet these criteria despite minor length variations, confirming electrical and mechanical interchangeability for the primary application.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Selection between ELM 1-205, ELM 1-200, and 0035.9206 is based on availability and dimensional requirements:

• ELM 1-205: Primary specification at 0.205" (5.21mm) length with Bivar Inc. manufacturing and ROHS3 compliance
• ELM 1-200: Alternative from the same manufacturer (Bivar Inc.) with 0.005" shorter length (0.200"/5.08mm) and identical RoHS compliance and MSL rating
• 0035.9206: Cross-manufacturer substitute from SCHURTER Inc. with minimal length variation (0.201"/5.10mm) and ROHS3 compliance; MSL designation differs as Not Applicable per supplier specification

All three options maintain Active product status and full regulatory compliance for T1 3/4 LED standoff applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What determines if a substitute part is compatible with ELM 1-205? A: Compatibility requires matching T1 3/4 LED type, black color, PVC or equivalent material, and length within 0.200" to 0.205" (5.08mm to 5.21mm) tolerance. RoHS3 compliance and MSL 1 or equivalent rating must be maintained.

Q: Can ELM 1-200 and 0035.9206 be used interchangeably with ELM 1-205? A: Yes. Both substitutes meet the critical parametric requirements for T1 3/4 LED standoff applications. The 0.005" length difference between ELM 1-205 and ELM 1-200 and the 0.004" difference between ELM 1-205 and 0035.9206 fall within functional tolerance for mechanical mounting.

Q: What is the significance of the different manufacturers (Bivar Inc. versus SCHURTER Inc.)? A: Both manufacturers provide ROHS3 compliant parts meeting the same functional specifications. The choice between manufacturers depends on supply chain availability and procurement requirements while maintaining identical electrical and mechanical performance.

Q: Does the MSL rating differ between the main part and substitutes? A: ELM 1-205 and ELM 1-200 are rated MSL 1 (Unlimited), while 0035.9206 is rated Not Applicable per SCHURTER specification. Both designations indicate no moisture sensitivity limitations for standard storage and handling conditions.

Q: Are all three parts ROHS3 compliant? A: Yes. ELM 1-205, ELM 1-200, and 0035.9206 are all ROHS3 Compliant, confirming compliance with restricted substances regulations.
