ELM 2-1.5MM LED Holder Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELM 2-1.5MM is a T1 LED standoff holder manufactured by Bivar Inc., constructed from black PVC material. This component serves as a mechanical mounting solution for T1-sized LEDs in electronic assemblies. The part is currently in active production status and carries ROHS3 compliance certification. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent LED type, material composition, and color specifications are maintained while dimensional tolerances permit functional interchangeability in standard applications.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the ELM 2-1.5MM are identified based on the following critical parameters:

• LED Type: Must be T1 (no substitution permitted)
• Material: Must be PVC (no substitution permitted)
• Color: Must be Black (no substitution permitted)
• Length: Within 0.060" (1.52mm) represents acceptable dimensional tolerance
• RoHS Status: Must maintain ROHS3 compliance (no substitution permitted)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: Must be MSL 1 (no substitution permitted)

The identified substitute parts, ELM 4-060 and ELM 5-060, satisfy all mandatory parameters. Both parts maintain T1 LED compatibility, PVC construction, black coloration, and equivalent moisture sensitivity classification. The dimensional difference of 0.001" (0.02mm) between the main part and substitutes falls within standard mechanical tolerances for T1 LED standoff applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts—ELM 2-1.5MM, ELM 4-060, and ELM 5-060—are active production components manufactured by Bivar Inc. Each part carries ROHS3 compliance certification and meets identical moisture sensitivity requirements. The substitutes maintain functional equivalence across all mandatory electrical and mechanical parameters for T1 LED standoff applications. Selection among these parts may be based on inventory availability or series preference, as all three satisfy identical compliance and performance requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ELM 4-060 or ELM 5-060 be used in place of ELM 2-1.5MM?

A: Yes. Both parts meet all mandatory substitution criteria: identical LED type (T1), material (PVC), color (Black), RoHS status (ROHS3), and moisture sensitivity (MSL 1). The dimensional variance of 0.001" (0.02mm) falls within standard tolerances for T1 LED standoff applications.

Q: What are the key parameters that determine substitutability?

A: The four non-negotiable parameters are LED type (T1), material (PVC), color (Black), and RoHS compliance status (ROHS3 Compliant). These parameters must remain constant across all substitute selections. Length variation within 0.060" (1.52mm) is acceptable.

Q: Are all substitute parts in the same series?

A: No. The main part belongs to the ELM 2 series, while substitutes belong to ELM 4 and ELM 5 series. Series designation does not affect functional equivalence for T1 LED standoff applications when all other parameters match.

Q: Do the substitute parts have the same moisture sensitivity classification?

A: Yes. All parts, including ELM 2-1.5MM, ELM 4-060, and ELM 5-060, are classified as MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating identical moisture handling requirements and storage conditions.

Q: How does the packaging affect substitution?

A: All three parts are supplied in Bag packaging. No packaging modification is required when substituting parts.
