ELM 2-390 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELM 2-390 is a T1 LED Standoff in Black PVC with a length of 0.390" (9.91mm), manufactured by Bivar Inc. This component is classified as Active product status. Alternative part numbers become necessary when the primary part faces supply constraints, inventory availability changes, or when production requirements demand components with equivalent electrical and mechanical characteristics. The ELM 2-390 is ROHS3 Compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited moisture sensitivity level).

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the ELM 2-390 are qualified based on the following matching parameters: LED Type (T1), Color (Black), and RoHS compliance status (ROHS3). The substitutes maintain mechanical compatibility through consistent physical dimensions and material suitability.

Two qualified substitutes are identified:

ELM 5-390 — Parametric equivalent with matching LED type (T1), color (Black), length (0.390"/9.91mm), and RoHS3 compliance. Material differs (PVC to PVC, consistent with main part).

H-201C — Parametric equivalent with matching LED type (T1) and color (Black). Length is 0.380" (9.65mm), representing a 0.010" (0.26mm) dimensional variance. Material differs (Nylon instead of PVC). RoHS3 compliant with matching MSL 1 rating.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts—ELM 2-390, ELM 5-390, and H-201C—are classified as Active products with full RoHS3 compliance and identical MSL 1 ratings. Selection among these parts is determined by specific assembly requirements:

ELM 2-390 and ELM 5-390 are direct parametric equivalents with identical length specifications (0.390"/9.91mm) and matching PVC material construction. Both qualify as primary selections for applications with strict dimension tolerances.

H-201C presents a material and length variant. The Nylon construction and 0.010" shorter length (0.380"/9.65mm) make it suitable for applications where material flexibility or reduced standoff height is acceptable and mechanical compatibility with assembly tooling and printed circuit board constraints is confirmed.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ELM 5-390 be used as a direct replacement for ELM 2-390? A: Yes. Both parts are identical in LED type (T1), color (Black), length (0.390"/9.91mm), and RoHS3 compliance. Both are manufactured by Bivar Inc. with equivalent packaging.

Q: What is the primary difference between H-201C and the main part? A: H-201C differs in material composition (Nylon vs. PVC) and physical length (0.380" vs. 0.390"). The 0.010" length difference and material change must be verified for mechanical compatibility with specific assembly requirements.

Q: Are all three parts RoHS3 compliant? A: Yes. ELM 2-390, ELM 5-390, and H-201C are all ROHS3 Compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity level.

Q: Which part should be selected for applications with tight mechanical tolerances? A: ELM 2-390 and ELM 5-390 maintain identical dimensional specifications and should be prioritized when length precision of 0.390" (9.91mm) is required.

Q: Do these parts require thermal or environmental stress testing before substitution? A: Selection is based on provided product status, compliance certifications, and parametric equivalence. Material and dimensional differences between parts must be evaluated against specific assembly and operational requirements.

Q: What packaging is provided for these parts? A: All three parts are supplied in Bag packaging.
