ELM 2-340 LED Standoff Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELM 2-340 is a T1 LED standoff manufactured by Bivar Inc., designed for vertical mounting applications. This component features a black PVC construction with a 0.340" (8.64mm) length specification. The part maintains Active product status and is RoHS3 compliant, making it suitable for current production environments. Substitute parts are identified based on matching electrical characteristics, mechanical compatibility within the ELM 2 series, and identical material and compliance specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts within the ELM 2 series are qualified based on the following criteria:

Matching Parameters (Required for Substitution):

• Series designation: ELM 2
• LED type: T1
• Material composition: Black PVC
• Color: Black
• Product status: Active
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture sensitivity level: 1 (Unlimited)
• Packaging format: Bag

Variable Parameter (Allows Substitution):

• Length specification: Mechanical dimension tolerance within the ELM 2 series design envelope

The ELM 2-350 qualifies as a parametric equivalent because it maintains all electrical and material specifications identical to the ELM 2-340 while varying only in the length dimension (0.350" versus 0.340").

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the ELM 2-340 and ELM 2-350 maintain Active product status with identical RoHS3 compliance and MSL ratings. Selection between these parts depends solely on mechanical length requirements for the specific application. The ELM 2-350 offers higher inventory availability (3507 units versus 1078 units), which may influence procurement decisions for high-volume applications. Both parts are suitable for current production use without obsolescence concerns.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What is the primary difference between ELM 2-340 and ELM 2-350?

A: The parts differ only in length specification. The ELM 2-340 measures 0.340" (8.64mm), while the ELM 2-350 measures 0.350" (8.89mm). All other electrical, material, and compliance characteristics are identical.

Q: Can ELM 2-350 be used as a direct replacement for ELM 2-340?

A: Substitution is valid only if the application design accommodates the 0.010" (0.25mm) length difference. The mechanical envelope of the PCB or mounting structure must allow this dimensional variance.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both ELM 2-340 and ELM 2-350 are RoHS3 compliant with MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions.

Q: What packaging format is used for these parts?

A: Both parts are supplied in Bag packaging format.

Q: Which part has better availability?

A: The ELM 2-350 has significantly higher inventory (3507 units) compared to the ELM 2-340 (1078 units).
