ELM 2-13MM LED Standoff Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELM 2-13MM is a T1 LED standoff manufactured by Bivar Inc., designed for vertical mounting applications with a 0.510" (12.95mm) length. This component is constructed from black PVC material and accommodates 3mm LED configurations with 2-lead connections. The part maintains Active product status and is ROHS3 compliant with unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1).

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters align with the main part specifications, enabling direct replacement in applications where dimensional tolerances and material properties remain compatible.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the ELM 2-13MM are determined by alignment across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Manufacturer: Bivar Inc.
• LED Type: T1
• Material: Black PVC
• LED Configuration: 3MM 2LD
• Color: Black
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

Variable Parameter (Allows Substitution):

• Length: Tolerance range permits 0.485" to 0.510" (12.32mm to 12.95mm)

The ELM 2-13MM qualifies as a substitute for ELM 2-500, ELM 2-510, and ELM 5-485 based on matching core electrical and mechanical specifications. Length variations within the specified range do not prevent functional equivalence in standard vertical mounting applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All substitute parts listed maintain Active product status and ROHS3 compliance, ensuring regulatory alignment with the primary part ELM 2-13MM. Selection between equivalent parts is determined by application-specific length requirements within the 0.485" to 0.510" range.

ELM 2-510: Identical length specification (0.510" / 12.95mm) to the main part. Direct replacement without dimensional adjustment.

ELM 2-500: Length specification of 0.500" (12.70mm) provides 0.010" (0.25mm) reduction from the main part. Suitable for applications with tighter vertical clearance constraints.

ELM 5-485: Length specification of 0.485" (12.32mm) provides maximum vertical space reduction at 0.025" (0.63mm) below the main part. Applicable where minimum standoff height is required.

All substitute parts share identical material composition, LED type, configuration, and compliance certifications with the ELM 2-13MM.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ELM 2-500 replace ELM 2-13MM in all applications?

A: ELM 2-500 is a parametric equivalent with 0.010" (0.25mm) shorter length. Substitution is valid where this dimensional difference does not conflict with circuit board layout or component clearance requirements.

Q: What is the primary difference between ELM 2-510 and ELM 2-13MM?

A: ELM 2-510 and ELM 2-13MM share identical length specifications (0.510" / 12.95mm) and all core parameters. Both are direct equivalents within the ELM 2 series.

Q: Why is ELM 5-485 listed as a substitute despite different series designation?

A: ELM 5-485 maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters matching the main part: T1 LED type, black PVC material, 3MM 2LD configuration, ROHS3 compliance, and MSL 1 rating. Series designation does not prevent functional equivalence. Length difference of 0.025" (0.63mm) is the only variable parameter.

Q: Are there packaging differences between substitute parts?

A: All parts are supplied in Bag packaging format. Inventory quantities vary: ELM 2-13MM (1073 Pcs), ELM 2-500 (4519 Pcs), ELM 2-510 (1846 Pcs), and ELM 5-485 (10054 Pcs).

Q: Do all substitute parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: All listed parts are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating. ECCN and HTSUS classifications are consistent across the ELM 2 series parts.

Q: What length tolerance should be considered when selecting between substitutes?

A: The allowable length range spans 0.485" to 0.510" (12.32mm to 12.95mm). Selection depends on specific application clearance requirements. Maximum variation between shortest (ELM 5-485) and longest (ELM 2-13MM / ELM 2-510) is 0.025" (0.63mm).
