Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the ELM 1-345 are identified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional interchangeability:

Matching Parameters:

• LED Type: T1 3/4 (all substitutes maintain this specification)
• Material: PVC (all substitutes use identical material)
• Color: Black (all substitutes match color specification)
• Mounting Orientation: Vertical (SR VERT designation consistent across all parts)
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant (all substitutes meet this requirement)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) (all substitutes share this rating)

Variable Parameter:

• Length: The primary differentiator among substitute parts. ELM 1-345 specifies 0.345" (8.76mm), while substitutes vary within a defined range to accommodate different PCB standoff height requirements.

The ELM 1-350 and ELM 3-335 are classified as parametric equivalents because they maintain identical LED type, material, color, and compliance specifications while offering alternative length dimensions. These parts are interchangeable in applications where the specific standoff height variation falls within design tolerance.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

ELM 1-350 Selection Criteria: The ELM 1-350 offers a 0.350" (8.89mm) length, representing a 0.005" (0.13mm) increase from the ELM 1-345 specification. This substitute maintains identical series designation (ELM 1), material composition, and all compliance certifications. Selection of ELM 1-350 is appropriate when PCB design tolerances accommodate the increased standoff height and inventory availability is a consideration (12,862 units in stock).

ELM 3-335 Selection Criteria: The ELM 3-335 provides a 0.335" (8.51mm) length, representing a 0.010" (0.25mm) reduction from the ELM 1-345 specification. This substitute belongs to the ELM 3 series and maintains all critical electrical and material specifications. The ELM 3-335 is suitable for applications requiring reduced standoff height within design tolerance parameters. This part demonstrates the highest inventory availability (14,653 units in stock) among all listed substitutes.

Compliance Assurance: All substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, ensuring compatibility with current manufacturing and environmental standards. Product status remains Active for all listed alternatives, confirming ongoing manufacturer support and supply chain viability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What is the primary difference between ELM 1-345 and its substitutes?

A: The primary difference is standoff length. ELM 1-345 specifies 0.345" (8.76mm), ELM 1-350 specifies 0.350" (8.89mm), and ELM 3-335 specifies 0.335" (8.51mm). All other electrical and mechanical parameters remain identical.

Q: Can ELM 1-350 and ELM 3-335 be used interchangeably with ELM 1-345?

A: Interchangeability depends on PCB design tolerance for standoff height. The length variation between parts ranges from 0.010" (0.25mm) reduction to 0.005" (0.13mm) increase. Design specifications must accommodate these dimensional differences.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. ELM 1-350 and ELM 3-335 both maintain ROHS3 compliance, matching the ELM 1-345 specification.

Q: What is the Moisture Sensitivity Level for all listed parts?

A: All parts, including ELM 1-345, ELM 1-350, and ELM 3-335, carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions during storage or handling.

Q: Do all substitute parts use the same PVC material and black color?

A: Yes. Material composition (PVC) and color (Black) are identical across ELM 1-345, ELM 1-350, and ELM 3-335.

Q: What LED type do all these parts support?

A: All parts are designed for T1 3/4 LED mounting applications.

Q: Are there packaging differences between the main part and substitutes?

A: No. All parts are supplied in Bag packaging format.

Q: Which substitute has the highest inventory availability?

A: ELM 3-335 maintains the highest inventory level at 14,653 units in stock, followed by ELM 1-350 at 12,862 units.
