Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the ELM 2-425 are identified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional equivalence:

Matching Parameters:

• LED Type: T1 (3MM LED application)
• Material: Black PVC
• Configuration: Vertical Mount, 2-Lead
• Manufacturer: Bivar Inc.
• Product Status: Active
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant
• MSL Rating: 1 (Unlimited)
• Packaging: Bag

Variable Parameter:

• Length: Tolerance range permits substitution between 0.425" (10.80mm) and 0.440" (11.18mm)

The ELM 4-440 qualifies as a parametric equivalent because it maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters, with length variation within acceptable mechanical tolerance for this product category.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Selection: ELM 2-425

The ELM 2-425 is the specified component and remains the primary selection when exact dimensional specifications are required. Active product status and full ROHS3 compliance ensure continued availability and regulatory conformance.

Substitute Selection: ELM 4-440

The ELM 4-440 serves as a parametric equivalent when the 0.015" (0.38mm) length differential is mechanically acceptable within the application design. Both parts maintain identical Active product status, ROHS3 compliance, and MSL 1 rating. Selection between these parts depends solely on mechanical clearance and mounting height requirements specific to the end application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What is the primary difference between ELM 2-425 and ELM 4-440?

A: The parts differ only in length specification. The ELM 2-425 measures 0.425" (10.80mm), while the ELM 4-440 measures 0.440" (11.18mm). All other electrical and mechanical parameters are identical.

Q: Can ELM 4-440 be used as a direct replacement for ELM 2-425?

A: ELM 4-440 is a parametric equivalent when the 0.015" (0.38mm) length increase does not conflict with mechanical clearance or mounting height constraints in the application. Verify available space before substitution.

Q: Are both parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. Both ELM 2-425 and ELM 4-440 are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating.

Q: What is the LED type for both parts?

A: Both parts are T1 LED standoffs designed for 3MM LED applications with 2-lead configuration.

Q: Are these parts available in other colors?

A: The provided specifications indicate black PVC material for both parts. No alternative color options are specified in the available data.

Q: What packaging format is used for these parts?

A: Both parts are supplied in Bag packaging format.

Q: How do I determine which part to use in my design?

A: Use ELM 2-425 as the primary selection. Substitute with ELM 4-440 only if mechanical design permits the 0.015" (0.38mm) additional length and application requirements do not specify exact dimensional constraints.
