ELM 1-470 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELM 1-470 is a T1 3/4 LED standoff manufactured by Bivar Inc., designed for vertical mounting applications. This component features a black PVC construction with a 0.470" (11.94mm) length specification. The part maintains Active product status and is ROHS3 compliant, making it suitable for current production environments. Identification of equivalent substitute parts becomes necessary when managing inventory constraints, addressing supply chain disruptions, or optimizing component procurement across manufacturing operations.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the ELM 1-470 is determined by strict alignment of the following parameters:

Critical Matching Parameters:

• LED Type: T1 3/4 (must be identical)
• Material: Black PVC (must be identical)
• Mounting Configuration: Vertical standoff (must be identical)
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant (must be maintained)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) (must be equivalent or better)

Allowable Variation:

• Length tolerance: Substitute parts may vary within mechanical design constraints of the application circuit board layout

The ELM 3-450 qualifies as a parametric equivalent based on matching LED type, material composition, mounting orientation, and compliance certifications. The length differential of 0.020" (0.51mm) represents a mechanical variation that does not alter the electrical or functional characteristics of the standoff component.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the ELM 1-470 and ELM 3-450 maintain Active product status within the Bivar Inc. portfolio, ensuring continued manufacturing support and supply availability. Both components satisfy ROHS3 compliance requirements and carry identical Moisture Sensitivity Level ratings, confirming equivalent environmental performance characteristics.

Selection between these parts should be based on specific circuit board layout requirements. The ELM 1-470 provides 0.470" (11.94mm) standoff height, while the ELM 3-450 provides 0.450" (11.43mm) standoff height. The 0.020" (0.51mm) length differential must be evaluated against the mechanical clearance specifications of the target application to ensure proper component fit and electrical performance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the ELM 3-450 be used as a direct replacement for the ELM 1-470?

A: The ELM 3-450 is a parametric equivalent with matching LED type (T1 3/4), material (Black PVC), and compliance certifications (ROHS3). The primary difference is length: 0.450" versus 0.470". Substitution is valid only if the application circuit board design accommodates the 0.020" (0.51mm) shorter standoff height.

Q: What parameters must remain identical for substitution?

A: LED type, material composition, color, mounting orientation, and RoHS compliance status must be identical. Length may vary within application-specific mechanical tolerances.

Q: Are both parts available in the same packaging format?

A: Yes. Both the ELM 1-470 and ELM 3-450 are supplied in Bag packaging, ensuring consistent handling and storage procedures.

Q: Do both parts have the same moisture sensitivity requirements?

A: Yes. Both components carry Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited), indicating no special moisture control measures are required during storage, handling, or assembly.

Q: What is the basis for the substitution relationship?

A: Substitution is based strictly on matching electrical characteristics (LED type), physical material properties (Black PVC construction), compliance certifications (ROHS3), and environmental performance ratings (MSL 1). Both parts are manufactured by Bivar Inc. and maintain Active product status.
