ELM 2-335 LED Standoff Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELM 2-335 is a T1 LED standoff manufactured by Bivar Inc., featuring a black PVC construction with a 0.335" (8.51mm) vertical mounting height. This component is classified as an active product and is ROHS3 compliant. LED standoffs serve as mechanical spacers and alignment fixtures in electronic assemblies, positioning light-emitting diodes at precise heights above printed circuit boards. Substitute parts become necessary when the primary part experiences supply constraints, extended lead times, or when design specifications allow for minor dimensional variations within established tolerance ranges.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the ELM 2-335 is determined by strict adherence to the following parameters:

Critical Matching Parameters:

• Manufacturer: Bivar Inc.
• Series: ELM 2
• LED Type: T1
• Material: Black PVC
• Product Status: Active
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)
• Packaging: Bag

Variable Parameter (Allows Substitution):

• Length: Dimensional tolerance within the ELM 2 series allows for length variations of ±0.015" from the primary specification

The substitute parts ELM 2-320 and ELM 2-350 maintain identical specifications across all critical parameters. The length differential between these parts and the primary ELM 2-335 falls within the mechanical tolerance envelope of the ELM 2 series design, permitting direct substitution in applications where vertical standoff height can accommodate the specified dimensional range.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts—ELM 2-335, ELM 2-320, and ELM 2-350—share identical active product status and ROHS3 compliance certification. Selection between these parts is determined solely by the required vertical standoff height for the specific application:

• ELM 2-320 provides the shortest standoff height at 0.320" (8.13mm)
• ELM 2-335 provides the nominal standoff height at 0.335" (8.51mm)
• ELM 2-350 provides the tallest standoff height at 0.350" (8.89mm)

Component selection must be based on the mechanical clearance requirements and LED positioning specifications of the target assembly. All parts maintain identical electrical and environmental compliance characteristics, ensuring functional equivalence within their respective dimensional specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ELM 2-320 be used in place of ELM 2-335?

A: Yes, provided the application design permits a 0.015" (0.38mm) reduction in vertical standoff height. Both parts are manufactured by Bivar Inc., share the same T1 LED type, black PVC material, and maintain identical RoHS3 compliance and MSL ratings.

Q: What is the maximum length difference between substitute parts?

A: The ELM 2-350 exceeds the ELM 2-335 by 0.015" (0.38mm), while the ELM 2-320 is 0.015" (0.38mm) shorter. This 0.030" (0.76mm) total range represents the dimensional envelope within the ELM 2 series.

Q: Are all substitute parts packaged identically?

A: Yes. ELM 2-335, ELM 2-320, and ELM 2-350 are all supplied in bag packaging, ensuring consistent handling and storage requirements.

Q: Do substitute parts have different moisture sensitivity levels?

A: No. All three parts maintain MSL 1 (Unlimited) classification, indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage or handling.

Q: Is RoHS compliance identical across all substitute options?

A: Yes. ELM 2-335, ELM 2-320, and ELM 2-350 are all ROHS3 compliant, meeting identical environmental and regulatory requirements.
