ELM 1-4MM LED Standoff Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELM 1-4MM is a T1 3/4 LED standoff manufactured by Bivar Inc. in Black PVC material with a 0.160" (4.06mm) length. This component is classified as an active product and is ROHS3 compliant. Substitute parts are necessary when original inventory is unavailable, when procurement timelines require alternative sourcing, or when design requirements permit functionally equivalent configurations from the same manufacturer.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The ELM 3-160 qualifies as a parametric equivalent to the ELM 1-4MM based on the following critical alignment:

Key Parameters for Substitution:

• LED Type: T1 3/4 (identical)
• Length: 0.160" (4.06mm) (identical)
• Color: Black (identical)
• Material: PVC (identical)
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant (identical)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) (identical)
• Manufacturer: Bivar Inc. (identical)
• Product Status: Active (identical)

Both parts belong to the same manufacturer's LED standoff product family and share all critical mechanical and environmental specifications. The series designation change (ELM 1 to ELM 3) reflects design iteration within the product line while maintaining form-factor and functional compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both ELM 1-4MM and ELM 3-160 are active products with identical RoHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity ratings. Selection between the two parts should be based on procurement availability and lead time requirements. Both parts satisfy equivalent environmental, regulatory, and mechanical specifications for direct substitution in applications requiring T1 3/4 LED standoffs with 0.160" length in Black PVC material.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ELM 3-160 be used as a direct replacement for ELM 1-4MM? A: Yes. Both parts share identical LED type (T1 3/4), length (0.160"), color (Black), material (PVC), and compliance certifications (ROHS3). They are functionally equivalent for the same application.

Q: What are the primary parameters that determine substitution compatibility? A: LED type (T1 3/4), physical length (0.160"), color (Black), base material (PVC), and regulatory compliance status (ROHS3) are the critical parameters. These specifications must match exactly for mechanical and functional compatibility.

Q: Are there differences in packaging between ELM 1-4MM and ELM 3-160? A: Both parts are supplied in Bag packaging format, ensuring consistent handling and storage protocols.

Q: Do both parts require equivalent handling and storage conditions? A: Yes. Both parts share Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited), indicating no special storage conditions are required beyond standard component handling practices.

Q: Is there a preferred part for new designs? A: Selection should be based on procurement availability and lead times. Both parts maintain active product status with identical specifications and compliance certifications.
