ELM 1-850 LED Standoff Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELM 1-850 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 0.850" (21.59mm) 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 selection flexibility when inventory or application-specific requirements necessitate alternatives.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts within the ELM 1 series are qualified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional compatibility:

Matching Parameters (Required for Substitution):

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

Variable Parameter (Allows Substitution):

• Length: The ELM 1-850 (0.850") and ELM 1-820 (0.820") differ by 0.030" (0.76mm). Both parts maintain identical electrical and material specifications, with length variation accommodating different standoff height requirements in vertical mounting applications.

The ELM 1-820 qualifies as a parametric equivalent because it preserves all critical functional and compliance characteristics while offering an alternative length dimension.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the ELM 1-850 and ELM 1-820 maintain Active product status with ROHS3 compliance and identical Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 ratings. Selection between these parts is determined by the specific standoff height requirement of the application. The 0.030" (0.76mm) length differential must be evaluated against mechanical clearance and mounting geometry constraints in the target assembly. Both parts are manufactured by Bivar Inc. within the same ELM 1 series, ensuring consistent material composition, electrical characteristics, and compliance certifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ELM 1-820 be used in place of ELM 1-850?

A: The ELM 1-820 qualifies as a substitute only when the 0.820" (20.83mm) length is mechanically compatible with the application. The 0.030" (0.76mm) shorter dimension must not compromise clearance, alignment, or functional requirements. All other electrical and material specifications are identical.

Q: What is the primary difference between these substitute parts?

A: The only difference is the length dimension. ELM 1-850 provides 0.850" (21.59mm) standoff height, while ELM 1-820 provides 0.820" (20.83mm). All other parameters including LED type, material, color, mounting style, and compliance certifications are identical.

Q: Are both parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. Both ELM 1-850 and ELM 1-820 are ROHS3 compliant with Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited), meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements.

Q: What packaging format is used for these parts?

A: Both parts are supplied in Bag packaging format.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in all applications?

A: Interchangeability is limited to applications where the length difference of 0.030" (0.76mm) does not affect mechanical fit, electrical performance, or assembly requirements. Application-specific geometry must be verified before substitution.
