ELM 1-460 LED Standoff Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELM 1-460 is a T1 3/4 LED standoff manufactured by Bivar Inc., featuring a black PVC construction with a 0.460" (11.68mm) vertical mounting height. This component is classified as an active product and is ROHS3 compliant. LED standoffs serve as mechanical and electrical mounting solutions for T1 3/4 LED packages in vertical orientations. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters are maintained within acceptable tolerances for the application category.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the ELM 1-460 are qualified based on the following criteria:

Common Parameters (Substitution Basis):

• LED Type: T1 3/4 (identical across all parts)
• Material: Black PVC (identical across all parts)
• Mounting Style: Vertical (identical across all parts)
• Manufacturer: Bivar Inc. (identical across all parts)
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant (identical across all parts)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) (identical across all parts)
• Product Status: Active (identical across all parts)

Variable Parameter (Length): The primary differentiator among substitute parts is the standoff length. The ELM 1-460 operates at 0.460" (11.68mm). Substitute parts ELM 3-450 and ELM 3-440 provide alternative heights of 0.450" (11.43mm) and 0.440" (11.18mm) respectively. These length variations remain within the mechanical tolerance range for T1 3/4 LED standoff applications and maintain compatibility with standard PCB mounting patterns.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts—ELM 1-460, ELM 3-450, and ELM 3-440—maintain active product status and full ROHS3 compliance. Selection between these parts depends on the specific vertical mounting height requirement for the application. The ELM 1-460 provides the maximum height at 0.460" (11.68mm), while ELM 3-450 and ELM 3-440 offer reduced heights of 0.450" (11.43mm) and 0.440" (11.18mm) respectively. All parts share identical electrical and mechanical characteristics for T1 3/4 LED mounting, material composition, and regulatory compliance. Component selection should be based on PCB layout constraints and required standoff height specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What is the primary difference between ELM 1-460 and its substitute parts?

A: The primary difference is the standoff length. ELM 1-460 measures 0.460" (11.68mm), while ELM 3-450 measures 0.450" (11.43mm) and ELM 3-440 measures 0.440" (11.18mm). All other parameters—LED type, material, mounting style, and compliance certifications—remain identical.

Q: Are all three parts mechanically compatible with the same PCB footprint?

A: All three parts are designed for T1 3/4 LED vertical mounting and share the same base mechanical interface. Height differences of 0.010" to 0.020" between parts fall within standard mechanical tolerances for LED standoff applications.

Q: Do all substitute parts maintain the same RoHS compliance?

A: Yes. ELM 1-460, ELM 3-450, and ELM 3-440 are all ROHS3 compliant with Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited).

Q: What packaging format is used for these parts?

A: All three parts are supplied in bag packaging.

Q: Can I use ELM 3-440 as a direct replacement for ELM 1-460?

A: ELM 3-440 can be used as a substitute only if the application permits a 0.020" (0.51mm) reduction in standoff height. The mechanical and electrical characteristics are otherwise equivalent.
