ELM 2-395 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELM 2-395 is a T1 LED Standoff manufactured by Bivar Inc., constructed from black PVC with a length of 0.395" (10.03mm). This component is designed to mount and position T1-sized LEDs in vertical orientation. The part maintains Active product status and is RoHS3 compliant. Substitute parts are identified for applications where alternative materials, dimensions, or availability requirements necessitate component selection from equivalent options within the T1 LED Standoff category.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the ELM 2-395 is determined by compatibility across the following key parameters: LED size (T1), orientation (vertical mount), color (black), and compliance certifications (RoHS3). The identified substitutes—ELM 5-390 and H-201C—maintain these core functional requirements while varying in material composition and overall length. The ELM 5-390 uses PVC material identical to the primary part with a length of 0.390" (9.91mm), representing a dimensional variant within acceptable tolerance ranges. The H-201C employs nylon material with a length of 0.380" (9.65mm), providing an alternative material option while preserving T1 LED compatibility and vertical mounting capability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts—ELM 2-395, ELM 5-390, and H-201C—maintain Active product status and full RoHS3 compliance, making them suitable for production applications. Selection between PVC and nylon materials should be determined by specific application requirements regarding chemical resistance, temperature stability, and mechanical properties. The ELM 2-395 (PVC, 0.395") and ELM 5-390 (PVC, 0.390") are material equivalents with minimal dimensional variation of 0.005" (0.13mm). The H-201C (nylon, 0.380") provides the shortest overall length with enhanced material durability characteristics. Inventory availability—ELM 2-395 at 722 Pcs, ELM 5-390 at 2242 Pcs, and H-201C at 63104 Pcs—should be evaluated for supply chain continuity and lead-time requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the ELM 5-390 be used as a direct replacement for the ELM 2-395?

A: Yes. Both parts are T1 LED Standoffs manufactured from black PVC with identical orientation and compliance requirements. The dimensional difference of 0.005" (0.13mm) between the ELM 2-395 (0.395") and ELM 5-390 (0.390") falls within acceptable mechanical tolerance ranges for standoff applications.

Q: What are the material differences between the ELM 2-395 and H-201C?

A: The ELM 2-395 is constructed from PVC, while the H-201C uses nylon. Both materials are black and RoHS3 compliant. Nylon provides superior chemical resistance and mechanical strength, while PVC offers different thermal and electrical properties. Material selection depends on end-application environmental conditions.

Q: Are all three parts certified for the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. The ELM 2-395, ELM 5-390, and H-201C all hold RoHS3 compliance and MSL 1 (Unlimited) ratings, indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage and handling.

Q: Which substitute part has the best supply availability?

A: The H-201C maintains the highest inventory level at 63104 Pcs, followed by the ELM 5-390 at 2242 Pcs, and the ELM 2-395 at 722 Pcs. For supply chain planning, the H-201C offers superior availability assurance.

Q: Can parts with different lengths be used interchangeably?

A: The three parts exhibit length variations of 0.015" (0.38mm) between the longest (ELM 2-395 at 0.395") and shortest (H-201C at 0.380") options. Interchangeability depends on mechanical clearance and positioning requirements within the specific PCB assembly. Design verification is necessary to confirm fit within intended mechanical envelopes.
