ELM 2-115 Equivalent & Substitute Parts Reference

Part Overview

The ELM 2-115 is a T1 LED standoff manufactured by Bivar Inc., designed for vertical mounting applications. This component is an active product with ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1). Alternative part numbers are necessary when specific dimensional requirements or inventory availability necessitate component substitution while maintaining functional compatibility within the specified parameter ranges.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The substitute parts for ELM 2-115 are determined by the following key parameters: manufacturer (Bivar Inc.), LED type (T1), material (PVC), color (Black), RoHS compliance status (ROHS3), and moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1).

Two substitute parts are identified:

ELM 2-120: Maintains the same series (ELM 2), LED type, material, color, and compliance certifications. The primary variance is the length specification at 0.120" (3.05mm) compared to 0.115" (2.92mm).

ELM 4-115: Maintains the same LED type, material, color, length (0.115" / 2.92mm), and compliance certifications. The primary variance is the series designation, changing from ELM 2 to ELM 4, with a different base product number and commodity code assignment.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts (ELM 2-115, ELM 2-120, ELM 4-115) maintain active product status with ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating, confirming suitability for standard manufacturing and storage conditions.

Selection between ELM 2-115 and ELM 2-120 applies when dimensional tolerance accommodates the 0.005" (0.13mm) length difference. Selection of ELM 4-115 applies when the ELM 4 series designation is functionally equivalent within the application context, given identical LED type, length, material, and color specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ELM 2-120 be used in place of ELM 2-115? A: Yes, when the application tolerates a 0.005" (0.13mm) increase in standoff length. Both parts share the same series (ELM 2), LED type (T1), material (PVC), color (Black), and compliance specifications.

Q: What is the primary difference between ELM 4-115 and ELM 2-115? A: The series designation differs (ELM 4 versus ELM 2). Both maintain identical LED type (T1), length (0.115" / 2.92mm), material (PVC), and color (Black). The series change may affect mechanical mounting characteristics or base product lineage.

Q: Are all three parts RoHS compliant? A: Yes. ELM 2-115, ELM 2-120, and ELM 4-115 are all ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (unlimited moisture sensitivity), meeting current environmental and regulatory standards.

Q: Which substitute part should be selected for space-constrained applications? A: ELM 2-115 and ELM 4-115 are identical in length (0.115" / 2.92mm) and should be evaluated based on series compatibility requirements. ELM 2-120 is 0.005" (0.13mm) longer and applies only when this dimensional increase is acceptable.

Q: Are packaging and inventory considerations part of substitution criteria? A: Packaging format (Bag) is identical across all parts. Inventory availability levels are operational factors separate from engineering substitution eligibility.
