ELM 1-290 LED Standoff Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELM 1-290 is a T1 3/4 LED standoff manufactured by Bivar Inc., featuring a black PVC construction with a 0.290" (7.37mm) length. This component is classified as an active product and is RoHS3 compliant. LED standoffs serve as mechanical mounting and alignment components for T1 3/4 LED packages in electronic assemblies. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters are maintained across alternative part numbers, enabling design flexibility and supply chain optimization.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the ELM 1-290 are qualified based on the following criteria:

Primary Substitution Parameters:

• LED Type: T1 3/4 (mechanical compatibility with LED package)
• Material: Black PVC (physical and chemical compatibility)
• Color: Black (visual and assembly consistency)
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant (regulatory equivalence)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) (environmental handling equivalence)
• Manufacturer: Bivar Inc. (design and quality consistency)

Length Tolerance Consideration: Substitute parts are identified within a length range of 0.285" to 0.300" (7.24mm to 7.62mm). This range accommodates minor dimensional variations while maintaining functional compatibility in standard LED mounting applications.

The ELM 1-300 and ELM 3-300 represent direct length alternatives at 0.300" (7.62mm). The ELM 3-285 represents a shorter alternative at 0.285" (7.24mm). All substitute parts maintain identical LED type, material composition, and compliance certifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All substitute parts listed maintain active product status and full RoHS3 compliance, ensuring regulatory equivalence with the ELM 1-290. Selection between substitute parts is determined by specific length requirements within the 0.285" to 0.300" range.

ELM 1-300: Shares the ELM 1 series designation with the main part and provides a 0.010" (0.25mm) length increase. This part is suitable for applications requiring slightly extended standoff height while maintaining series consistency.

ELM 3-285 and ELM 3-300: Represent the ELM 3 series alternative. The ELM 3-285 provides the shortest available option at 0.285" (7.24mm), while the ELM 3-300 matches the 0.300" (7.62mm) length of the ELM 1-300. Both ELM 3 series parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical compatibility with T1 3/4 LED packages.

Selection should be based on the specific mounting height requirement of the target application. All parts are available in production quantities and carry equivalent compliance certifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ELM 1-290 be directly replaced with ELM 1-300?

A: Yes. Both parts share the ELM 1 series designation, identical LED type (T1 3/4), material (Black PVC), and compliance status (ROHS3). The primary difference is length: ELM 1-300 is 0.010" (0.25mm) longer. Direct substitution is valid when the application accommodates the increased standoff height.

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

A: Both series maintain identical LED type (T1 3/4), material (Black PVC), color (Black), and compliance certifications. The series designation reflects different base product numbers (ELM1 versus ELM3) and may indicate different manufacturing or design lineages, but electrical and mechanical compatibility with T1 3/4 LED packages is equivalent.

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

A: Yes. All substitute parts are supplied in Bag packaging, consistent with the ELM 1-290 standard packaging format.

Q: What length options are available among the substitute parts?

A: Three length options are available: 0.285" (7.24mm) via ELM 3-285, 0.290" (7.37mm) via ELM 1-290 (main part), and 0.300" (7.62mm) via both ELM 1-300 and ELM 3-300. Selection depends on the specific mounting height requirement of the application.

Q: Do all substitute parts meet the same environmental and regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. All substitute parts are RoHS3 compliant and carry Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited), indicating equivalent environmental handling and regulatory compliance with the ELM 1-290.

Q: Can ELM 3 series parts be mixed with ELM 1 series parts in the same assembly?

A: Yes. Both series maintain identical LED type, material, color, and compliance specifications. Mixing is permissible when application requirements do not mandate series consistency. Length differences should be evaluated based on specific mounting geometry.
