ELM 1-860 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELM 1-860 is a T1 3/4 LED standoff manufactured by Bivar Inc. in black polyvinyl chloride (PVC). This component is actively produced and maintained for applications requiring vertical LED mounting with a 0.860" (21.84mm) standoff height. The part maintains ROHS3 compliance and carries an MSL rating of 1 (unlimited moisture sensitivity).

Identifying equivalent and substitute parts for the ELM 1-860 is necessary when managing inventory constraints, securing components from multiple distribution channels, or accommodating mechanical tolerance variations in assembly processes.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The ELM 1-820 qualifies as a substitute for the ELM 1-860 based on shared core parameters within the ELM 1 series. Both parts maintain identical specifications for LED type (T1 3/4), material composition (PVC), color (Black), manufacturer (Bivar Inc.), and compliance certifications (ROHS3).

The substitution relationship is determined by the following parameters:

• LED Type: T1 3/4 (identical)
• Material: PVC (identical)
• Color: Black (identical)
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant (identical)
• MSL Rating: 1 (Unlimited) (identical)
• Standoff Length: 0.860" vs. 0.820" (0.040" differential)

The ELM 1-820 operates within the allowed mechanical tolerance for standoff height variation across the ELM 1 series platform.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the ELM 1-860 and ELM 1-820 are active products with documented inventory availability. Selection between these parts is based on standoff height requirements and availability:

• ELM 1-860 is specified when 0.860" (21.84mm) standoff height is required.
• ELM 1-820 is specified when 0.820" (20.83mm) standoff height is required, or when substitution for ELM 1-860 is necessary within the allowed height tolerance.

Both parts maintain identical ROHS3 compliance and MSL ratings, confirming equivalent environmental suitability for manufacturing and storage.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ELM 1-820 be used as a direct replacement for ELM 1-860? A: The ELM 1-820 operates within the substitute category for ELM 1-860. The primary difference is standoff length: 0.820" versus 0.860", representing a 0.040" height differential. Substitution is valid when this mechanical tolerance is acceptable within the assembly design.

Q: Do both parts share the same certifications and compliance status? A: Yes. Both the ELM 1-860 and ELM 1-820 carry ROHS3 compliance and MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited). No compliance differences exist between these parts.

Q: What distinguishes these parts within the ELM 1 series? A: The ELM 1 series consists of T1 3/4 LED standoffs in black PVC with varying standoff heights. The ELM 1-860 and ELM 1-820 are differentiated solely by standoff length. Both maintain identical material, color, LED type, and manufacturing specifications.

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs? A: Component selection is determined by mechanical specification requirements. Select ELM 1-860 when 0.860" standoff height is specified. Select ELM 1-820 when 0.820" standoff height is specified. Either part may be used interchangeably when standoff height variation within 0.040" is within design tolerance.

Q: Are there inventory considerations between these parts? A: The ELM 1-820 maintains higher inventory levels (1983 Pcs) compared to ELM 1-860 (927 Pcs). Both parts are classified as New Original In Stock status.
