ELM 2-15MM LED Standoff Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELM 2-15MM is an active T1 LED standoff manufactured by Bivar Inc., designed for vertical mounting applications. This black PVC standoff measures 0.590" (14.99mm) in length and accommodates T1 LED packages with dual-lead configurations. The component is RoHS3 compliant and carries an MSL rating of 1 (unlimited moisture sensitivity). With 1,074 units in stock as new original inventory, this part remains suitable for applications requiring standard LED standoff functionality. Alternative models may be necessary when dimensional specifications or inventory constraints require different standoff heights or mechanical configurations.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The ELM 4-600 is identified as a parametric equivalent to the ELM 2-15MM based on the following key parameters:

• LED Type: Both parts accommodate T1 LED packages with dual-lead (2LD) configurations
• Material Composition: Both utilize black PVC construction
• Mounting Orientation: Both feature vertical (VERT) mounting design
• Compliance Standards: Both maintain RoHS3 compliance
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: Both carry MSL rating of 1 (unlimited)
• Packaging Format: Both are supplied in bag packaging

The primary distinction between these parts is the standoff length: the ELM 2-15MM measures 0.590" (14.99mm), while the ELM 4-600 measures 0.600" (15.24mm), representing a 0.010" (0.25mm) difference. This dimensional variation qualifies the ELM 4-600 as a substitute when the extended length is acceptable within the mechanical constraints of the target application.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the ELM 2-15MM and ELM 4-600 maintain active product status with RoHS3 compliance and identical MSL ratings, ensuring equivalent environmental and regulatory standing. The primary selection criterion is mechanical fit within the application envelope. The ELM 2-15MM is the specified component when designs call for 0.590" standoff height, while the ELM 4-600 accommodates applications permitting 0.600" height. Both parts employ identical T1 LED type accommodation, black PVC material composition, and bag packaging, supporting straightforward mechanical interchange when dimensional tolerance permits. Inventory availability at 1,074 units (ELM 2-15MM) and 1,058 units (ELM 4-600) allows flexibility in procurement decisions without compromising supply chain viability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What determines if the ELM 4-600 can replace the ELM 2-15MM? A: The ELM 4-600 can replace the ELM 2-15MM only when the mechanical design accommodates the additional 0.010" (0.25mm) in standoff length. All other electrical, material, and compliance specifications remain identical, supporting direct mechanical substitution within dimensional constraints.

Q: Are both parts suitable for the same LED types? A: Yes. Both the ELM 2-15MM and ELM 4-600 are specified for T1 LED packages with dual-lead configurations and share identical LED accommodation characteristics.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards? A: Yes. Both parts carry RoHS3 compliance certification and MSL rating 1 (unlimited moisture sensitivity), ensuring equivalent environmental and regulatory status for applications with such requirements.

Q: What is the difference in material construction between these parts? A: There is no difference. Both the ELM 2-15MM and ELM 4-600 utilize black PVC material construction, supporting identical mechanical and thermal properties.

Q: How does packaging affect part selection? A: Both parts are supplied in bag packaging, ensuring identical handling and storage requirements. No packaging-related compatibility issues exist between these alternatives.

Q: What inventory status should influence part selection? A: The ELM 2-15MM maintains 1,074 units in stock, while the ELM 4-600 maintains 1,058 units. Both inventory levels support production requirements without supply constraint differentiation for standard-volume applications.
