Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the ELM 1-315 are identified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional equivalence:

Primary Matching Criteria:

• LED Type: T1 3/4 (identical across all parts)
• Material: PVC (identical across all parts)
• Color: Black (identical across all parts)
• Mounting Style: Vertical (identical across all parts)
• Manufacturer: Bivar Inc. (identical across all parts)
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant (identical across all parts)

Variable Parameter:

• Length: The ELM 1-315 specifies 0.315" (8.00mm), while substitute parts ELM 1-300 and ELM 3-300 specify 0.300" (7.62mm). This 0.015" (0.38mm) difference represents a dimensional variation within the same product family.

The ELM 1-300 and ELM 3-300 are classified as parametric equivalents due to matching LED type, material, color, and mounting configuration, with length as the distinguishing variable parameter.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

ELM 1-315 Primary Selection: The ELM 1-315 is the specified part number and maintains Active product status with full RoHS3 compliance and MSL Level 1 rating. Current inventory of 1104 pieces supports production requirements.

ELM 1-300 Substitution: The ELM 1-300 is a direct series equivalent within the ELM 1 family, differing only in length specification (0.300" versus 0.315"). This part maintains identical material, LED type, color, and compliance certifications. Inventory availability is significantly higher at 8801 pieces. Selection of this substitute requires confirmation that the 0.015" (0.38mm) length reduction is compatible with the application's mechanical constraints.

ELM 3-300 Substitution: The ELM 3-300 represents a cross-series equivalent from the ELM 3 family, matching all critical parameters except series designation and length. This part also specifies 0.300" (7.62mm) length and maintains full RoHS3 compliance and MSL Level 1 rating. Inventory availability is 9596 pieces. Selection requires confirmation of mechanical compatibility with the reduced length specification.

All three parts are manufactured by Bivar Inc., maintain Active product status, and comply with RoHS3 and MSL Level 1 requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What is the primary difference between ELM 1-315 and its substitute parts?

A: The primary difference is length specification. The ELM 1-315 measures 0.315" (8.00mm), while both ELM 1-300 and ELM 3-300 measure 0.300" (7.62mm). All other parameters—LED type (T1 3/4), material (PVC), color (Black), mounting style (Vertical), and compliance certifications—remain identical.

Q: Can ELM 1-300 and ELM 3-300 be used interchangeably with ELM 1-315?

A: Both parts share identical LED type, material, color, and mounting configuration. The ELM 1-300 belongs to the same ELM 1 series, while ELM 3-300 belongs to the ELM 3 series. Interchangeability depends on whether the 0.015" (0.38mm) length reduction is acceptable for the specific application's mechanical requirements.

Q: Are all three parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. The ELM 1-315, ELM 1-300, and ELM 3-300 all maintain ROHS3 Compliant status, making them suitable for applications requiring RoHS compliance.

Q: What is the MSL rating for these parts?

A: All three parts carry MSL Level 1 (Unlimited) rating, indicating no moisture sensitivity limitations during storage or handling.

Q: Which substitute part has better inventory availability?

A: The ELM 3-300 has the highest inventory at 9596 pieces, followed by ELM 1-300 at 8801 pieces. The primary part ELM 1-315 has 1104 pieces in stock.

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

A: All three parts are supplied in Bag packaging format.

Q: What certifications apply to these parts?

A: All parts are classified under ECCN EAR99 for export control purposes. The ELM 1-300 additionally carries REACH Unaffected status.
