ELM 2-135 LED Standoff Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELM 2-135 is a T1 LED standoff manufactured by Bivar Inc., designed for vertical mounting applications with a 0.135" (3.43mm) height. This component is constructed from black PVC material and accommodates 2-lead configurations. The part maintains Active product status and is ROHS3 compliant, making it suitable for current production environments.

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters align within the allowed specifications for T1 LED standoff applications, enabling component interchangeability in compatible circuit designs.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the ELM 2-135 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• LED Type: T1 (physical form factor must remain constant)
• Material: PVC (construction material must be identical)
• Color: Black (visual specification must match)
• Lead Configuration: 2LD (electrical connection points must be equivalent)
• Mounting Orientation: Vertical (installation method must be compatible)
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant (environmental compliance requirement)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) (storage conditions must be equivalent or less restrictive)

Allowable Variation Parameter:

• Length: Height tolerance within mechanical design constraints of the application

The ELM 5-130 qualifies as a parametric equivalent because it maintains all mandatory matching parameters while varying only in length specification (0.130" versus 0.135"), which represents a mechanical dimension variation of 0.005" (0.13mm).

Engineering Selection Recommendations

ELM 2-135 Primary Selection: The ELM 2-135 is the specified component for applications requiring a 0.135" (3.43mm) standoff height. Both the main part and substitute maintain Active product status and ROHS3 compliance, ensuring current manufacturing support and environmental regulation adherence.

ELM 5-130 Substitute Selection: The ELM 5-130 serves as a parametric equivalent when mechanical design constraints permit a 0.005" (0.13mm) reduction in standoff height. This substitute is appropriate for applications where the shorter dimension does not compromise circuit board clearance, component spacing, or thermal management requirements. Both parts are manufactured by Bivar Inc. and carry identical compliance certifications.

Compliance Considerations: Both parts satisfy ROHS3 compliance requirements and maintain MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity ratings, eliminating environmental or storage condition restrictions in component selection.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ELM 5-130 be used in place of ELM 2-135 without circuit board redesign?

A: The ELM 5-130 is mechanically shorter by 0.005" (0.13mm). Substitution is permissible only if the application design accommodates this reduced height without affecting component clearance, board layout, or functional performance.

Q: Are there electrical differences between ELM 2-135 and ELM 5-130?

A: No. Both parts are T1 LED standoffs with identical 2-lead configurations, material composition, and electrical characteristics. The only difference is physical height.

Q: Do both parts require identical storage conditions?

A: Yes. Both parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) ratings, indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions. Storage conditions are equivalent.

Q: What is the significance of the series designation (ELM 2 versus ELM 5)?

A: The series designation reflects the product line classification within Bivar Inc.'s portfolio. Both series maintain identical compliance standards and material specifications for T1 LED standoff applications.

Q: Are both parts currently available for production use?

A: Yes. Both ELM 2-135 and ELM 5-130 maintain Active product status, ensuring continued manufacturing availability and supply chain support.

Q: What packaging format is used for both parts?

A: Both parts are supplied in Bag packaging, suitable for standard component handling and integration into production workflows.
