ELM 2-285 LED Standoff Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELM 2-285 is a T1 LED standoff manufactured by Bivar Inc., designed for vertical mounting applications with a 0.285" (7.24mm) height. This component features a black PVC construction and accommodates 2-lead configurations. The part maintains Active product status with full RoHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1).

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters are maintained across the same product category, enabling direct functional replacement in circuit designs and assembly processes.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the ELM 2-285 are classified as parametric equivalents based on the following criteria:

Matching Parameters:

• LED Type: T1
• Lead Configuration: 2-Lead
• Height: 0.285" (7.24mm)
• Color: Black
• RoHS3 Compliance
• MSL 1 Rating
• Active Product Status

Variable Parameter:

• Material composition (PVC vs. Nylon)

The identified substitutes maintain all critical mechanical and electrical parameters. Material variation between PVC and Nylon does not affect functional compatibility within the specified application envelope, as both materials provide equivalent mechanical support and electrical isolation properties for T1 LED standoff applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Selection (ELM 2-285): The ELM 2-285 is suitable for applications requiring PVC material properties. This part maintains Active status with full RoHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating, supporting deployment in standard industrial and consumer electronics environments.

Substitute Selection (H-101C or H-101C-1): Both H-101C and H-101C-1 provide equivalent functional performance with Nylon material construction. These parts are interchangeable with the ELM 2-285 where material substitution is acceptable. Both maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications, Active product status, and full regulatory compliance.

Inventory Considerations: H-101C and H-101C-1 demonstrate significantly higher inventory availability (22,132 and 11,998 units respectively) compared to ELM 2-285 (1,874 units), supporting supply chain continuity for high-volume production requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can H-101C and H-101C-1 be used interchangeably with ELM 2-285?

A: Yes. All three parts share identical specifications for LED type (T1), lead configuration (2-lead), height (0.285"), color (black), and regulatory compliance (RoHS3, MSL 1). The material difference (PVC vs. Nylon) does not affect functional compatibility in standard LED standoff applications.

Q: What is the difference between H-101C and H-101C-1?

A: Both parts are parametrically identical. They share the same base product number (H-101), series designation (H101C), and all electrical and mechanical specifications. Differentiation exists only in inventory tracking and part numbering convention.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences between these parts?

A: No. All three parts maintain identical RoHS3 compliance status, MSL 1 rating, ECCN classification (EAR99), and HTSUS code (3926.90.9985). H-101C and H-101C-1 include additional REACH Unaffected designation.

Q: Does material composition affect mechanical performance?

A: Both PVC and Nylon materials provide equivalent mechanical support and electrical isolation for T1 LED standoff applications within the specified 0.285" height dimension. Material selection should align with application-specific environmental or thermal requirements.

Q: What packaging format is used for all substitute parts?

A: All parts are supplied in Bag packaging format, maintaining consistent handling and storage requirements across the product family.
