ELM 1-465 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELM 1-465 is a T1 3/4 LED standoff manufactured by Bivar Inc., designed for vertical mounting applications. This component is constructed from black PVC material with a height of 0.465" (11.81mm) and is currently in active product status with full ROHS3 compliance. Alternative models may be required when height specifications differ due to circuit board layout constraints, assembly requirements, or design modifications that necessitate different vertical clearance specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The ELM 3-450 is a parametric equivalent to the ELM 1-465 based on the following key substitution criteria:

Common Attributes (Substitution Qualifiers):

• LED Type: T1 3/4 (identical)
• Material: PVC (identical)
• Color: Black (identical)
• Manufacturer: Bivar Inc. (identical)
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant (identical)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) (identical)
• Packaging: Bag (identical)

Variable Parameter:

• Length: 0.465" (11.81mm) for ELM 1-465 versus 0.450" (11.43mm) for ELM 3-450

The substitution is valid when the 0.015" (0.38mm) height differential accommodates the application requirements. Both parts maintain identical LED specifications, material composition, and environmental compliance ratings, differing only in vertical standoff height.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the ELM 1-465 and ELM 3-450 maintain active product status with full ROHS3 compliance and identical environmental ratings. Selection between these parts is determined by the vertical height requirement specified in the application schematic. The ELM 1-465 provides 0.465" (11.81mm) of clearance, while the ELM 3-450 provides 0.450" (11.43mm) of clearance, representing a 0.015" (0.38mm) differential. The selection criteria is purely dimensional: choose the part whose height specification matches the available board-to-component clearance in the target application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Can the ELM 3-450 be used as a direct replacement for the ELM 1-465? Yes, provided the application tolerates the 0.015" (0.38mm) reduction in vertical height. Both parts are manufactured from identical PVC material with the same T1 3/4 LED specifications and carry equivalent compliance certifications.

What are the key differences between these two parts? The only parameter difference is the overall length: the ELM 1-465 is 0.465" (11.81mm) and the ELM 3-450 is 0.450" (11.43mm). All other electrical, material, and compliance attributes are identical.

Do both parts have the same packaging specifications? Both the ELM 1-465 and ELM 3-450 are supplied in bag packaging.

Are both parts RoHS compliant? Yes, both parts are ROHS3 compliant with a Moisture Sensitivity Level of 1 (Unlimited).

Which part should be selected for a new design? Select the part corresponding to the required vertical standoff height in your application. Verify the clearance available between the PCB surface and the component it is spacing from to ensure the chosen height accommodates the design.
