ELM 2-22MM LED Standoff Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELM 2-22MM is a T1 LED standoff manufactured by Bivar Inc., designed for vertical mounting applications. This component features a black PVC construction with a length of 0.870" (22.10mm) and is classified as an active product with ROHS3 compliance. The part is supplied in bag packaging with 952 units currently in stock. Substitute parts may be required due to inventory constraints, application-specific dimensional requirements, or supply chain considerations while maintaining functional compatibility within the T1 LED standoff category.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the ELM 2-22MM is determined by the following critical parameters:

Primary Compatibility Criteria:

• LED Type: T1 (must match)
• Material: PVC (must match)
• Color: Black (must match)
• Manufacturer: Bivar Inc. (same manufacturer ensures design consistency)
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant (regulatory requirement)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) (handling and storage compatibility)

Secondary Consideration:

• Length tolerance: Dimensional variation within the ELM series allows for length differences in the range of 0.870" to 0.910" for vertical mounting applications

The ELM 5-23MM qualifies as a parametric equivalent based on matching all primary criteria and falling within acceptable dimensional variance for the T1 LED standoff category.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the ELM 2-22MM and ELM 5-23MM are active products with ROHS3 compliance and identical moisture sensitivity ratings. Selection between these parts is based on the following engineering factors:

ELM 2-22MM Selection Criteria:

• Applications requiring 0.870" (22.10mm) standoff height
• Designs with tight vertical clearance constraints
• Original equipment specifications calling for ELM 2 series

ELM 5-23MM Selection Criteria:

• Applications tolerant of 0.910" (23.11mm) standoff height
• Higher inventory availability (7087 units in stock versus 952 units)
• Applications where the additional 0.040" (1.01mm) length does not impact PCB layout or mechanical assembly

Both parts maintain identical electrical and environmental compliance characteristics. The selection decision is driven by mechanical fit requirements and inventory availability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ELM 5-23MM be used as a direct replacement for ELM 2-22MM?

A: ELM 5-23MM is a parametric equivalent within the T1 LED standoff category. Both parts share identical LED type, material, color, and compliance ratings. The primary difference is length: 0.910" (23.11mm) versus 0.870" (22.10mm). Substitution is valid only if the application design accommodates the additional 0.040" (1.01mm) height.

Q: What are the critical parameters that must match for substitution?

A: The following parameters must be identical: LED type (T1), material (PVC), color (Black), manufacturer (Bivar Inc.), RoHS status (ROHS3 Compliant), and moisture sensitivity level (1 - Unlimited). Length variation is acceptable within the ELM series range.

Q: Are both parts supplied in the same packaging format?

A: Yes. Both ELM 2-22MM and ELM 5-23MM are supplied in bag packaging, ensuring consistent handling and storage procedures.

Q: What is the inventory status of each part?

A: ELM 2-22MM has 952 units in stock. ELM 5-23MM has 7087 units in stock. Both are classified as new original inventory.

Q: Do both parts have the same regulatory compliance?

A: Yes. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant with moisture sensitivity level 1 (Unlimited), indicating no special moisture handling requirements during storage or assembly.
