ELM 2-295 LED Standoff Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELM 2-295 is a T1 LED standoff manufactured by Bivar Inc., featuring a vertical mount configuration with a 0.295" (7.49mm) length. This component is constructed from black PVC material and accommodates 3mm LED applications with 2-lead configurations. The part maintains Active product status and is RoHS3 compliant with MSL Level 1 rating, indicating unlimited moisture sensitivity tolerance.

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters align with the main part specifications, enabling direct replacement in applications where dimensional and material tolerances permit.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the ELM 2-295 are classified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional compatibility:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• LED Type: T1 (all substitutes maintain T1 specification)
• Mount Configuration: Vertical (SR VERT)
• LED Size: 3MM
• Lead Count: 2LD
• Color: Black
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant
• MSL Rating: Level 1

Allowable Variation Parameters:

• Length: 0.295" (7.49mm) primary; 0.285" (7.24mm) acceptable within tolerance
• Material: PVC (primary) or Nylon (acceptable alternative)

The ELM 2-285 represents a parametric equivalent with reduced length (0.285" vs 0.295"), maintaining all other specifications in PVC material. The H-101C and H-101C-1 parts provide material alternatives in Nylon construction while maintaining identical length and all other critical parameters.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

ELM 2-295 (Primary Part): Specified when exact 0.295" (7.49mm) length is required with PVC material construction. Maintains Active product status with full RoHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture tolerance.

ELM 2-285 (Length Variant): Applicable when 0.285" (7.24mm) length accommodates circuit board layout requirements. Maintains identical material (PVC) and all compliance certifications. Select when reduced standoff height is acceptable within design tolerances.

H-101C and H-101C-1 (Material Variants): Suitable for applications requiring Nylon material construction instead of PVC, with 0.285" (7.24mm) length specification. Both parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical compatibility with T1 3MM 2-lead LED configurations. H-101C and H-101C-1 are functionally equivalent; selection between them depends on inventory availability and procurement requirements. Both maintain Active status and full RoHS3 compliance with REACH Unaffected designation.

All substitute parts maintain identical LED type (T1), mount configuration compatibility, lead count (2LD), color (Black), and compliance certifications as the primary ELM 2-295 part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ELM 2-285 directly replace ELM 2-295 in all applications?

A: ELM 2-285 is compatible when the reduced length of 0.285" (7.24mm) versus 0.295" (7.49mm) falls within circuit board design tolerances. Both parts maintain identical PVC material, T1 LED type, 3MM size, and 2-lead configuration. Verify PCB standoff pocket depth and component clearance before substitution.

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

A: H-101C and H-101C-1 are functionally equivalent parts with identical specifications: T1 LED type, 3MM size, 2-lead configuration, Nylon material, 0.285" length, and all compliance ratings. Both are manufactured by Bivar Inc. and maintain Active product status. Selection between them is based on inventory availability and procurement lead times.

Q: Can Nylon (H-101C, H-101C-1) substitute for PVC (ELM 2-295)?

A: H-101C and H-101C-1 provide material alternatives with Nylon construction. Substitution is valid when application requirements permit Nylon material use instead of PVC. Both materials maintain identical electrical performance, T1 LED compatibility, and RoHS3 compliance. Verify material compatibility with circuit board assembly processes and environmental conditions.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. ELM 2-295, ELM 2-285, H-101C, and H-101C-1 all maintain ROHS3 Compliant status. All parts carry MSL Level 1 rating (unlimited moisture sensitivity tolerance). H-101C and H-101C-1 additionally carry REACH Unaffected designation.

Q: What packaging format is used for these parts?

A: All parts (ELM 2-295, ELM 2-285, H-101C, H-101C-1) are supplied in Bag packaging format suitable for component assembly operations.

Q: How do mount configurations differ between substitute options?

A: ELM 2-295 and ELM 2-285 feature vertical mount (SR VERT) configuration. H-101C and H-101C-1 feature right-angle mount (RA) configuration. Mount configuration selection depends on PCB layout requirements and LED component orientation specifications.
