ELM 2-330 LED Standoff Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELM 2-330 is a T1 LED standoff manufactured by Bivar Inc., featuring a vertical surface-mount configuration with a 0.330" (8.38mm) length. This component is constructed from black PVC material and is designed for applications requiring precise LED positioning and alignment in electronic assemblies. The part maintains Active product status and is ROHS3 compliant, making it suitable for current production environments. Equivalent and substitute parts become necessary when addressing inventory constraints, lead time requirements, or specific application geometry needs while maintaining functional compatibility within the ELM series platform.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the ELM 2-330 is determined by the following critical parameters: LED type (T1), material composition (PVC), color (Black), mounting configuration (surface mount vertical), and regulatory compliance (ROHS3). The substitute parts identified maintain these core parameters while varying in length specification. Length variation is permissible within the ELM series platform when application geometry allows, as the functional role of the standoff remains consistent across the specified length range. All substitute parts are manufactured by Bivar Inc., ensuring design compatibility within the same product family. Series designation (ELM 2 or ELM 4) and base product number variations indicate different mechanical configurations but maintain electrical and material equivalence for LED standoff applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All identified substitute parts maintain Active product status and ROHS3 compliance, confirming their suitability for current production applications. The ELM 2-320 and ELM 2-315 remain within the ELM 2 series, providing direct mechanical and electrical compatibility with the ELM 2-330 platform. The ELM 4-315 represents a cross-series alternative, maintaining identical LED type, material, and color specifications while operating within the ELM 4 series framework. Selection between ELM 2-320 and ELM 2-315 depends on application-specific length requirements, with both parts offering equivalent functional performance. The ELM 4-315 is appropriate when ELM 4 series integration is required or when the 0.315" length specification aligns with assembly geometry constraints. All parts carry unlimited moisture sensitivity rating, eliminating MSL-based restrictions during handling and storage.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ELM 2-320 be used as a direct replacement for ELM 2-330?

A: ELM 2-320 is a parametric equivalent within the ELM 2 series, differing only in length (0.320" versus 0.330"). Substitution is valid when application geometry accommodates the 0.010" (0.25mm) length reduction. Both parts maintain identical LED type, material, color, and compliance specifications.

Q: What is the difference between ELM 2-315 and ELM 4-315?

A: Both parts share identical length (0.315"), LED type (T1), material (PVC), and color (Black) specifications. The primary distinction is series designation: ELM 2-315 belongs to the ELM 2 series with base product number ELM2-3, while ELM 4-315 belongs to the ELM 4 series with base product number ELM4-3. Series selection depends on assembly platform requirements.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All identified substitute parts (ELM 2-320, ELM 2-315, and ELM 4-315) maintain ROHS3 compliance status, matching the ELM 2-330 specification.

Q: What packaging format is used for these parts?

A: All parts in this equivalency group are supplied in Bag packaging format.

Q: Can length differences affect LED alignment in the assembly?

A: Length variation between substitute parts ranges from 0.315" to 0.330" (8.00mm to 8.38mm). Assembly compatibility depends on specific application geometry and PCB design. Length differences must be evaluated against mechanical clearance and optical alignment requirements in the target application.

Q: Is moisture sensitivity a concern during component handling?

A: No. All parts carry MSL rating 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions during storage, handling, or assembly processes.
