ELM 1-260 LED Standoff Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELM 1-260 is a T1 3/4 LED standoff manufactured by Bivar Inc., featuring a vertical mounting configuration with black PVC construction. This component is designed for LED mounting applications requiring a 0.250" (6.35mm) standoff height. The part maintains Active product status and is RoHS3 compliant, making it suitable for current production environments. Equivalent and substitute parts are identified based on matching electrical and mechanical parameters including LED type, material composition, color, and dimensional specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the ELM 1-260 are determined by equivalence in the following critical parameters:

Primary Equivalence Criteria:

• LED Type: T1 3/4 (all substitutes maintain this specification)
• Material: PVC (all substitutes use identical material)
• Color: Black (all substitutes match this specification)
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant (all substitutes maintain compliance)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) (all substitutes match this rating)
• Manufacturer: Bivar Inc. (all substitutes from same manufacturer)

Secondary Consideration:

• Length tolerance: Substitutes include parts at 0.250" (6.35mm) and 0.240" (6.10mm), representing minor dimensional variations within the ELM series product line

The three identified substitutes (ELM 1-250, ELM 1-6MM, and ELM 3-250) share all primary equivalence criteria with the main part. Dimensional variations are noted for engineering evaluation.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

ELM 1-250: This part is a direct parametric equivalent to ELM 1-260, sharing identical length specification (0.250" / 6.35mm) and all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. Both parts belong to the ELM 1 series and maintain equivalent inventory availability and compliance certifications. Selection between these parts depends on application-specific requirements and supply chain considerations.

ELM 1-6MM: This substitute maintains all primary equivalence criteria but features a reduced length of 0.240" (6.10mm) compared to the 0.250" (6.35mm) specification of ELM 1-260. The 0.010" (0.25mm) dimensional difference may be significant in space-constrained applications. This part remains within the ELM 1 series and maintains full compliance certifications.

ELM 3-250: This substitute matches the length specification (0.250" / 6.35mm) and all primary equivalence criteria but belongs to the ELM 3 series rather than ELM 1. The series designation change reflects a different base product number (ELM3-2 versus ELM1-2). All electrical, material, and compliance parameters remain equivalent. HTSUS classification differs (3926.90.9985 versus 8547.20.0000), which may affect regulatory or tariff considerations.

All substitute parts maintain Active product status and full RoHS3 compliance, supporting continued use in current production environments.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ELM 1-250 be used as a direct replacement for ELM 1-260?

A: Yes. ELM 1-250 shares identical specifications for LED type (T1 3/4), length (0.250" / 6.35mm), material (PVC), color (Black), and all compliance certifications (RoHS3, MSL 1). Both parts belong to the ELM 1 series and are functionally equivalent.

Q: What is the significance of the 0.010" (0.25mm) length difference between ELM 1-260 and ELM 1-6MM?

A: ELM 1-6MM specifies 0.240" (6.10mm) length versus 0.250" (6.35mm) for ELM 1-260. This dimensional difference must be evaluated against application requirements. In applications with tight vertical clearance constraints, the shorter dimension may be advantageous. In applications requiring specific standoff height, the difference may be incompatible.

Q: Why does ELM 3-250 have a different HTSUS classification than ELM 1-260?

A: ELM 3-250 is classified under HTSUS 3926.90.9985, while ELM 1-260 uses 8547.20.0000. This difference reflects the distinct base product numbers (ELM3-2 versus ELM1-2) and may indicate different manufacturing or material composition classifications for tariff purposes. All electrical and mechanical parameters remain equivalent.

Q: Are all substitute parts available in the same packaging format?

A: Yes. ELM 1-260, ELM 1-250, ELM 1-6MM, and ELM 3-250 are all supplied in Bag packaging format.

Q: Do all substitute parts maintain the same moisture sensitivity rating?

A: Yes. All parts, including the main part ELM 1-260 and all three substitutes, maintain Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions.

Q: Which substitute part has the highest inventory availability?

A: ELM 1-250 maintains the highest inventory level at 52,009 pieces, compared to 8,834 pieces for ELM 1-6MM and 8,640 pieces for ELM 3-250. ELM 1-260 has 995 pieces in stock.
