ELM 1-785 LED Standoff Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELM 1-785 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 0.785" (19.94mm) length specification. The part maintains Active product status and is ROHS3 compliant, making it suitable for current production environments. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent functional performance can be achieved within the allowed mechanical and electrical parameter tolerances for this LED standoff category.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the ELM 1-785 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Matching Parameters (Required for Substitution):

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

Variable Parameter (Allows Substitution):

• Length: The ELM 1-785 operates at 0.785" (19.94mm). Substitute parts within the ELM 1 series may vary in length specification while maintaining all other electrical and mechanical characteristics. Length variation is permitted when the substitute part serves the same functional role in vertical LED standoff mounting applications.

The ELM 1-820 qualifies as a parametric equivalent because it maintains identical specifications across all matching parameters while presenting a different length dimension (0.820" / 20.83mm).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the ELM 1-785 and ELM 1-820 maintain Active product status within the Bivar Inc. ELM 1 series. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and carry Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited), indicating equivalent environmental performance characteristics. Selection between these parts is determined by the specific length requirement of the application. The 0.035" (0.89mm) length differential between the two parts must be evaluated against mechanical clearance and mounting height specifications in the target application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What determines if ELM 1-820 can substitute for ELM 1-785?

A: The ELM 1-820 qualifies as a substitute when the application can accommodate the increased length of 0.820" (20.83mm) versus the original 0.785" (19.94mm). All other specifications—LED type, material, color, compliance status, and moisture sensitivity—are identical between the two parts.

Q: Are there electrical performance differences between ELM 1-785 and ELM 1-820?

A: No. Both parts are T1 3/4 LED standoffs with identical electrical characteristics. The difference is mechanical length only.

Q: What is the length difference between these parts?

A: The ELM 1-820 is 0.035" (0.89mm) longer than the ELM 1-785. This dimension must be verified against the mechanical constraints of the target application before substitution.

Q: Do both parts have the same RoHS compliance status?

A: Yes. Both ELM 1-785 and ELM 1-820 are ROHS3 compliant and carry identical Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited) ratings.

Q: What packaging format is used for these parts?

A: Both parts are supplied in Bag packaging format.

Q: Are both parts currently in production?

A: Yes. Both ELM 1-785 and ELM 1-820 maintain Active product status with Bivar Inc.
