ELM 2-275 LED Standoff Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELM 2-275 is a T1 LED standoff manufactured by Bivar Inc., featuring a vertical mount configuration with a 0.275" (6.99mm) length. The component is constructed from black PVC material and is designed for applications requiring precision LED positioning and alignment. This part maintains Active product status and is RoHS3 compliant with MSL 1 rating, indicating unlimited moisture sensitivity protection.

Equivalent and substitute parts are identified to provide design flexibility, accommodate supply chain variations, and support applications where alternative material compositions or dimensional tolerances are acceptable within the specified parameter ranges.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the ELM 2-275 is determined by the following critical parameters: LED type (T1), mount configuration (vertical), color (black), RoHS3 compliance, and MSL 1 rating. All identified substitutes maintain these core specifications.

Substitute parts are grouped into two categories based on material composition:

Category 1: PVC Material (Dimensional Variant)

• ELM 2-285: Maintains PVC construction with increased length of 0.285" (7.24mm)

Category 2: Nylon Material (Alternative Material)

• H-101C and H-101C-1: Utilize nylon construction instead of PVC, with length of 0.285" (7.24mm)

All substitutes retain T1 LED compatibility, vertical mount orientation, black color, RoHS3 compliance, and MSL 1 rating. Material and length variations represent the primary differentiators among substitute options.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Direct Dimensional Replacement (Vertical Mount, PVC Material): The ELM 2-285 serves as the primary substitute when vertical mount orientation and PVC material composition are required. The 0.010" (0.25mm) length increase must be evaluated against application-specific PCB layout and mechanical clearance constraints. Both ELM 2-275 and ELM 2-285 maintain identical material properties, RoHS3 compliance, and MSL 1 rating.

For Alternative Material Composition (Nylon Construction): H-101C and H-101C-1 provide nylon-based alternatives with identical electrical and compliance specifications. These parts feature right-angle mount configuration rather than vertical orientation. Selection of nylon variants requires verification that the mount angle change is compatible with the target application's mechanical design.

Compliance and Regulatory Considerations: All substitute parts maintain RoHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating, ensuring compatibility with standard manufacturing and storage environments. H-101C and H-101C-1 include REACH Unaffected status, providing additional regulatory documentation for applications requiring enhanced compliance tracking.

Inventory and Supply Chain: H-101C demonstrates the highest inventory availability at 22,132 pieces, followed by H-101C-1 at 11,998 pieces. ELM 2-285 provides 1,874 pieces. Selection should consider both immediate availability requirements and long-term supply chain stability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ELM 2-285 be used as a direct replacement for ELM 2-275?

A: ELM 2-285 is a parametric equivalent with identical material (PVC), mount configuration (vertical), LED type (T1), color (black), and compliance ratings. The primary difference is length: 0.285" versus 0.275". This 0.010" increase must be verified against PCB layout and mechanical clearance specifications before implementation.

Q: What is the primary difference between ELM 2-275 and the H-101C series?

A: The H-101C and H-101C-1 parts differ in two parameters: material composition (nylon instead of PVC) and mount configuration (right-angle instead of vertical). Both maintain T1 LED compatibility and identical compliance ratings. The mount angle change requires mechanical design verification.

Q: Are H-101C and H-101C-1 interchangeable?

A: H-101C and H-101C-1 are functionally equivalent. Both feature identical specifications: T1 LED type, nylon material, 0.285" length, right-angle mount, black color, RoHS3 compliance, and MSL 1 rating. Selection between these parts may be based on inventory availability or supply chain considerations.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to all substitute parts?

A: All substitute parts (ELM 2-275, ELM 2-285, H-101C, H-101C-1) maintain RoHS3 compliance and MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating. H-101C and H-101C-1 additionally carry REACH Unaffected status. All parts are classified under ECCN EAR99.

Q: How does material composition affect part selection?

A: ELM 2-275 and ELM 2-285 utilize PVC material, while H-101C and H-101C-1 use nylon. Material selection depends on application requirements for thermal stability, mechanical rigidity, and environmental exposure. Both materials maintain identical electrical performance and compliance ratings for T1 LED standoff applications.

Q: What packaging format is used for these parts?

A: All parts in this equivalency group are supplied in Bag packaging format, suitable for standard component handling and storage procedures.
