ELM 1-565 LED Standoff Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELM 1-565 is a T1 3/4 LED standoff manufactured by Bivar Inc. in black PVC material with a length of 0.565" (14.35mm). This component is actively produced and maintained in stock, with ROHS3 compliance certification and MSL Level 1 rating. Component substitution becomes necessary when the primary part number is unavailable or when procurement lead times require alternative sourcing from existing inventory stocks.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution between ELM 1-565 and ELM 1-545 is permissible based on the following allowable parameter variation:

The primary differentiating parameter is length: ELM 1-565 measures 0.565" (14.35mm) while ELM 1-545 measures 0.545" (13.84mm), a difference of 0.020" (0.51mm). Both parts share identical specifications for LED type (T1 3/4), material composition (black PVC), manufacturer (Bivar Inc.), series designation (ELM 1), RoHS compliance, and MSL rating. The dimensional variance falls within the allowable tolerance range for mechanical interchangeability in LED standoff applications where slight length variations do not impact circuit functionality or board assembly constraints.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both ELM 1-565 and ELM 1-545 are active production components with ROHS3 compliance and MSL Level 1 certification, qualifying both for use in standard and demanding environmental conditions. Selection between these parts is determined by the mechanical height requirement of the specific application. The ELM 1-565 (0.565") provides greater standoff height, while the ELM 1-545 (0.545") offers a shorter profile. Design constraints dictating clearance or spacing requirements will determine which part number is appropriate for deployment. Both components maintain equivalent electrical and compliance characteristics.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What is the primary difference between ELM 1-565 and ELM 1-545?

A: The parts differ in physical length: ELM 1-565 is 0.565" (14.35mm) while ELM 1-545 is 0.545" (13.84mm). All other specifications including LED type, material, manufacturer, and compliance certifications are identical.

Q: Are these parts mechanically interchangeable?

A: Mechanical interchangeability depends on application-specific clearance and spacing requirements. The 0.020" (0.51mm) length difference must be evaluated against board layout and component mounting geometry to determine suitability for substitution.

Q: Do both parts have identical RoHS and MSL certifications?

A: Yes. Both ELM 1-565 and ELM 1-545 are ROHS3 compliant and carry MSL Level 1 (Unlimited) ratings, making them suitable for identical environmental and handling conditions.

Q: What is the packaging configuration for these parts?

A: Both components are supplied in bag packaging format for standard procurement and storage.

Q: Are both parts actively manufactured?

A: Yes. Both ELM 1-565 and ELM 1-545 maintain Active product status with current manufacturing and stock availability.
