ELM 1-510 LED Standoff Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELM 1-510 is a T1 3/4 LED standoff manufactured by Bivar Inc., featuring a black PVC construction with a 0.510" (12.95mm) length. This component is classified as an active product and is ROHS3 compliant. LED standoffs serve as mechanical mounting and alignment solutions for T1 3/4 LED packages in vertical orientations. Substitute parts may be required due to inventory availability, design revisions, or specific application requirements while maintaining functional compatibility.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the ELM 1-510 is determined by the following critical parameters: LED type (T1 3/4), color (black), and orientation (vertical standoff configuration). The substitute parts listed maintain these core functional parameters.

ELM 1-13MM qualifies as a parametric equivalent based on identical LED type, color, length, material, and orientation specifications.

ELM 3-500 qualifies as a parametric equivalent despite a 0.010" (0.25mm) length variance (0.500" vs. 0.510"), as both maintain T1 3/4 LED compatibility, black color, and vertical orientation in PVC material.

H-278C-2 qualifies as a parametric equivalent with a material variation (nylon instead of PVC) and matching 0.500" length, maintaining T1 3/4 LED compatibility and black color in vertical configuration.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All listed substitute parts maintain active product status and ROHS3 compliance, ensuring regulatory alignment with the ELM 1-510.

ELM 1-13MM provides direct dimensional and material equivalence with identical 0.510" length and PVC construction, representing the closest functional match.

ELM 3-500 introduces a 0.010" (0.25mm) length reduction while maintaining PVC material and vertical orientation. This variant is suitable for applications where the shorter standoff height is compatible with PCB layout constraints.

H-278C-2 substitutes nylon material for PVC while maintaining the 0.500" length and vertical orientation. Nylon construction offers alternative mechanical properties and may be selected based on specific environmental or thermal requirements within the application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ELM 1-13MM be used as a direct replacement for ELM 1-510?

A: Yes. ELM 1-13MM maintains identical specifications for LED type (T1 3/4), length (0.510"), material (PVC), color (black), and orientation (vertical), with equivalent compliance certifications.

Q: What is the impact of the 0.010" length difference between ELM 1-510 and ELM 3-500?

A: The 0.010" (0.25mm) reduction in standoff height may affect vertical spacing in PCB assemblies. Verify that the reduced height accommodates component clearance and mechanical constraints in your specific application.

Q: Why does H-278C-2 use nylon instead of PVC?

A: H-278C-2 employs nylon material while maintaining T1 3/4 LED compatibility and vertical orientation. Material selection should be evaluated based on thermal stability, chemical resistance, and mechanical property requirements of the end application.

Q: Are all substitute parts available in the same packaging format?

A: Yes. All listed substitute parts are supplied in bag packaging, consistent with the ELM 1-510 packaging specification.

Q: Do all substitute parts meet the same regulatory requirements as ELM 1-510?

A: Yes. All substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant and active products, maintaining regulatory alignment with ELM 1-510.
