ELM 1-360 LED Standoff Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELM 1-360 is a T1 3/4 LED standoff manufactured by Bivar Inc., featuring a black PVC construction with a 0.360" (9.14mm) length. This component is classified as an active product and serves as a mechanical mounting solution for LED applications requiring vertical orientation. Substitute parts become necessary when specific length requirements vary due to PCB design constraints, assembly tolerances, or application-specific spacing requirements while maintaining compatibility with T1 3/4 LED form factors and black PVC material specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the ELM 1-360 is determined by the following parameters:

Primary Compatibility Criteria:

• LED Type: T1 3/4 (fixed requirement)
• Material: Black PVC (fixed requirement)
• Orientation: Vertical (SR VERT) (fixed requirement)
• Manufacturer: Bivar Inc. (fixed requirement)
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant (fixed requirement)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) (fixed requirement)

Variable Parameter:

• Length: 0.360" (9.14mm) baseline; substitutes available within the ELM 1 and ELM 3 series with length variations of ±0.020" (0.51mm)

The ELM 1-350, ELM 3-370, and ELM 3-375 are classified as parametric equivalents because they maintain all fixed parameters while offering alternative lengths to accommodate different application requirements. Length selection is application-dependent and must be determined by PCB design specifications and mechanical assembly requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All substitute parts listed maintain active product status and ROHS3 compliance, ensuring regulatory and supply chain continuity. Selection between ELM 1-360 and its substitutes is based solely on length requirements:

ELM 1-350 (0.350" / 8.89mm): Shortest available option within the ELM 1 series. Select when minimum standoff height is required or when PCB design specifies reduced clearance.

ELM 1-360 (0.360" / 9.14mm): Baseline reference part. Select when this specific length is specified in design documentation.

ELM 3-370 (0.370" / 9.40mm): Intermediate length option. Select when slightly increased standoff height is required compared to ELM 1-360.

ELM 3-375 (0.375" / 9.53mm): Longest available option. Select when maximum standoff height within this product family is required.

All parts are manufactured by Bivar Inc., carry identical moisture sensitivity ratings, and are supplied in bag packaging. Substitution does not affect compliance certifications or supply reliability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ELM 1-350 be used as a direct replacement for ELM 1-360?

A: ELM 1-350 is a parametric equivalent differing only in length (0.350" vs. 0.360"). Direct substitution is possible only if the application tolerates a 0.010" (0.25mm) reduction in standoff height. PCB design specifications must be consulted to confirm compatibility.

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

A: Both series maintain identical LED type (T1 3/4), material (black PVC), orientation (vertical), and compliance specifications. The series designation reflects internal Bivar Inc. product line organization. Functional compatibility is determined by length and mechanical fit within the application.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. ELM 1-350, ELM 3-370, and ELM 3-375 are all ROHS3 compliant, matching the compliance status of ELM 1-360.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for these parts?

A: All parts carry Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture precautions are required during storage, handling, or assembly.

Q: How do I determine which length substitute is appropriate for my application?

A: Length selection is determined by PCB design specifications and mechanical assembly requirements. Measure the available vertical clearance between the LED mounting point and any adjacent components or surfaces. Select the substitute part whose length matches or is less than the available clearance.

Q: Are these parts available in other colors?

A: The provided data specifies black PVC only for all listed parts. Color options outside this specification are not included in this equivalency reference.

Q: What packaging format is used for these parts?

A: All parts are supplied in bag packaging. Bulk or tape-and-reel packaging options are not specified in this reference.
