ELM 1-835 LED Standoff Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELM 1-835 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 0.835" (21.21mm) length specification. The part maintains Active product status and is ROHS3 compliant, making it suitable for current production environments. Equivalent substitute parts are identified based on matching electrical and mechanical parameters within the ELM 1 series, allowing for component interchangeability when the primary part is unavailable or when inventory constraints require alternative sourcing.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the ELM 1-835 are identified within the ELM 1 series based on the following critical parameters that determine functional interchangeability:

Matching Parameters (Required for Substitution):

• LED Type: T1 3/4
• Color: Black
• Material: PVC
• Series: ELM 1
• Mounting Orientation: Vertical (SR VERT)
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

Variable Parameter (Allows Substitution):

• Length: Tolerance range within the ELM 1 series allows for length variations of ±0.015" (0.38mm) from the nominal specification

The ELM 1-820 qualifies as a parametric equivalent because it maintains all critical matching parameters while operating within the acceptable length tolerance range. The 0.015" (0.38mm) difference between the 0.835" and 0.820" specifications falls within standard mechanical tolerances for this product category and does not affect electrical performance or mounting compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Selection Criteria:

The ELM 1-835 is the specified component and should be used when available. Both the ELM 1-835 and ELM 1-820 maintain Active product status from Bivar Inc., ensuring continued manufacturing support and supply chain stability.

Substitution Conditions:

The ELM 1-820 serves as a direct substitute when the ELM 1-835 is unavailable. The 0.015" (0.38mm) length difference operates within standard mechanical tolerances for vertical LED standoff applications and does not compromise electrical performance, mechanical fit, or compliance certifications.

Compliance Assurance:

Both parts maintain identical ROHS3 compliance and Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited) ratings, ensuring regulatory and environmental requirements are met regardless of which part is selected. The identical packaging format (Bag) supports seamless integration into existing procurement and assembly workflows.

Inventory Considerations:

Current inventory levels show 1064 units of ELM 1-835 and 1983 units of ELM 1-820 in stock. Selection between these parts may be influenced by availability and supply chain logistics without compromising design specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the ELM 1-820 be used as a direct replacement for the ELM 1-835 in production assemblies?

A: Yes. The ELM 1-820 qualifies as a parametric equivalent substitute. The 0.015" length difference falls within acceptable mechanical tolerances for this product category. Both parts share identical LED type (T1 3/4), color (Black), material (PVC), and compliance certifications (ROHS3).

Q: What is the significance of the length difference between 0.835" and 0.820"?

A: The 0.015" (0.38mm) difference represents a tolerance variation within the ELM 1 series specification range. This variation does not affect electrical performance, mounting compatibility, or functional operation in vertical standoff applications.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences between these parts?

A: No. Both the ELM 1-835 and ELM 1-820 maintain identical RoHS3 compliance status, Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited), and equivalent regulatory certifications (ECCN: EAR99; HTSUS: 8547.20.0000).

Q: Does the packaging differ between these substitute parts?

A: No. Both parts are supplied in identical Bag packaging format, supporting consistent handling, storage, and assembly processes.

Q: What parameters must remain identical for substitution to be valid?

A: LED type (T1 3/4), color (Black), material (PVC), series designation (ELM 1), mounting orientation (vertical), and all compliance certifications must remain identical. Length variations within the specified tolerance range are acceptable.

Q: Can parts from different manufacturers be substituted for the ELM 1-835?

A: No. Substitution is limited to equivalent parts within the Bivar Inc. ELM 1 series. Cross-manufacturer substitution requires separate parametric analysis and is not covered under this equivalency specification.
