Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the ELM 1-285 are identified based on strict parametric equivalence across the following critical specifications:

Matching Parameters:

• LED Type: T1 3/4
• Length: 0.285" (7.24mm)
• Color: Black
• Material: PVC
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• Product Status: Active

The ELM 3-285 qualifies as a parametric equivalent because it maintains identical dimensional, material, and compliance characteristics. Both parts share the same LED form factor, standoff length, and environmental compliance ratings. The substitution is valid at the parametric level for applications requiring these specific physical and electrical characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the ELM 1-285 and ELM 3-285 are Active products with ROHS3 compliance and identical parametric specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on:

Availability and Inventory: The ELM 3-285 maintains higher inventory levels (4749 Pcs) compared to the ELM 1-285 (1085 Pcs), providing greater supply assurance for high-volume production requirements.

Compliance Status: Both parts meet ROHS3 requirements. The ELM 3-285 carries additional REACH Unaffected designation, which may be relevant for applications subject to REACH regulatory frameworks.

Series Designation: The ELM 1-285 belongs to the ELM 1 series, while the ELM 3-285 belongs to the ELM 3 series. Both series maintain equivalent functional and dimensional characteristics for this standoff configuration.

Tariff Classification: Parts differ in HTSUS codes (ELM 1-285: 8547.20.0000 vs. ELM 3-285: 3926.90.9985), which may impact duty calculations for international procurement.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the ELM 3-285 be used as a direct replacement for the ELM 1-285?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical LED type (T1 3/4), length (0.285"/7.24mm), color (Black), material (PVC), and compliance ratings (ROHS3). They are parametrically equivalent for mechanical and electrical mounting applications.

Q: What are the key parameters that determine substitution eligibility?

A: Substitution is determined by matching: LED form factor (T1 3/4), physical length (0.285"), color specification (Black), base material (PVC), and regulatory compliance status (ROHS3 Compliant, MSL 1). All these parameters are identical between the ELM 1-285 and ELM 3-285.

Q: Are there any differences in packaging between these parts?

A: Both parts are supplied in Bag packaging format. No packaging differences exist between the ELM 1-285 and ELM 3-285.

Q: Does the series designation (ELM 1 vs. ELM 3) affect compatibility?

A: Series designation reflects manufacturer product line organization but does not affect parametric compatibility. Both series maintain identical specifications for this standoff length and LED type combination.

Q: What is the Moisture Sensitivity Level, and is it the same for both parts?

A: Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) 1 indicates Unlimited shelf life under normal storage conditions. Both the ELM 1-285 and ELM 3-285 carry MSL 1 rating, requiring no special moisture control measures.

Q: Are there regulatory or compliance considerations for part selection?

A: Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and carry EAR99 ECCN classification. The ELM 3-285 includes REACH Unaffected status. For applications requiring REACH compliance documentation, the ELM 3-285 provides additional regulatory clarity.
