ELM 2-430 LED Standoff Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELM 2-430 is a T1 LED standoff manufactured by Bivar Inc., featuring a black PVC construction with a 0.430" (10.92mm) vertical height. This component is designed for mounting LED indicators in applications requiring precise standoff positioning. The part maintains Active product status with full RoHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1). Substitute parts are identified based on matching core functional parameters: LED type (T1), material composition (PVC), color (Black), and compatible mechanical dimensions within the ELM series.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the ELM 2-430 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Matching Parameters (Required for Substitution):

• LED Type: T1
• Material: PVC
• Color: Black
• Manufacturer: Bivar Inc.
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

Variable Parameter (Allows Substitution):

• Length: Mechanical height dimension may vary within the ELM series while maintaining functional compatibility

The ELM 4-440 qualifies as a parametric equivalent because it maintains all critical matching parameters while offering a different length specification (0.440" vs. 0.430"). Both parts share identical LED type, material, color, compliance certifications, and moisture sensitivity ratings, making them interchangeable in applications where the 0.010" (0.26mm) height difference is mechanically acceptable.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the ELM 2-430 and ELM 4-440 maintain Active product status with full RoHS3 compliance and identical moisture sensitivity ratings. Selection between these parts depends on mechanical height requirements within the application assembly. The ELM 2-430 provides the shorter 0.430" standoff height, while the ELM 4-440 offers a 0.010" (0.26mm) taller profile at 0.440". Both parts are manufactured by Bivar Inc. and carry equivalent regulatory certifications (ROHS3, EAR99, HTSUS 3926.90.9985). Inventory availability shows 1085 units for ELM 2-430 and 991 units for ELM 4-440 in new original stock condition.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ELM 4-440 be used as a direct replacement for ELM 2-430?

A: The ELM 4-440 is a parametric equivalent with identical electrical and material specifications. Substitution is valid when the 0.010" (0.26mm) height difference does not conflict with mechanical clearances or assembly constraints in the target application.

Q: What are the critical parameters that must match for substitution?

A: LED type (T1), material (PVC), color (Black), RoHS compliance (ROHS3), and moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1) must remain constant. Length is the only variable parameter allowing substitution within the ELM series.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both ELM 2-430 and ELM 4-440 are ROHS3 Compliant with identical regulatory classifications (ECCN: EAR99, HTSUS: 3926.90.9985).

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity difference between these parts?

A: Both parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for either component.

Q: How do the series designations (ELM 2 vs. ELM 4) affect compatibility?

A: Series designation reflects the base product number structure. ELM 2-430 uses base product number ELM2-4, while ELM 4-440 uses ELM4-4. The series difference corresponds to the length variation but does not affect functional compatibility when mechanical dimensions are acceptable.

Q: Is packaging identical for both parts?

A: Yes. Both parts are supplied in Bag packaging format.
