ELM 2-440

Part Overview

The ELM 2-440 is a T1 LED standoff manufactured by Bivar Inc., designed for vertical mounting applications with a 0.440" (11.18mm) standoff height. This component is constructed from black PVC material and features a 2-lead configuration. The part maintains Active product status and holds ROHS3 compliance certification, qualifying it for use in regulated applications. Substitute models address inventory availability, supply chain continuity, and equivalent functional requirements across manufacturing operations.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The ELM 4-440 qualifies as a parametric equivalent to the ELM 2-440 based on strict parameter matching. Both parts share identical specifications across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters: T1 LED type, 0.440" standoff height, black PVC construction, 2-lead vertical mount configuration, ROHS3 compliance, and MSL Level 1 rating. The substitution is valid because the parts maintain functional equivalence with respect to mounting geometry, material properties, and regulatory compliance. The primary difference lies in the series designation (ELM 4 versus ELM 2), which does not affect interchangeability for applications requiring these specified parameters.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the ELM 2-440 and ELM 4-440 are eligible for component selection in applications requiring T1 LED standoffs with 0.440" vertical mounting height. Both parts maintain Active product status and hold equivalent ROHS3 compliance certification, confirming their suitability for regulated manufacturing environments. The ELM 4-440 presents higher inventory availability (991 pieces versus 918 pieces), supporting extended lead times and production scheduling. Selection between these parts should be based on procurement timelines, inventory allocation, and established supplier relationships, as electrical and mechanical performance characteristics are functionally identical.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the ELM 2-440 and ELM 4-440 mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical standoff height (0.440"), material composition (black PVC), LED type (T1), and vertical mount configuration. They are mechanically interchangeable in applications requiring these specifications.

Q: Do these parts have different electrical characteristics?

A: No electrical parameter data has been provided. Based on the supplied specifications, both parts are functionally equivalent with respect to all provided parameters.

Q: What is the significance of the series designation (ELM 2 versus ELM 4)?

A: The series designation identifies the product line within the Bivar Inc. catalog. The ELM 2 and ELM 4 series share identical key parameters for this standoff application, making them substitutable for the specified 0.440" height and T1 LED type.

Q: Are there compliance or regulatory differences between the parts?

A: No. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and MSL Level 1 (Unlimited) rating. They are equivalent for applications requiring these regulatory certifications.

Q: Should inventory levels influence my part selection?

A: Inventory levels may inform procurement strategy and lead time planning. The ELM 4-440 currently shows higher availability. For applications with immediate requirements, the available part should be selected; for long-term production, both suppliers can support manufacturing needs given current stock levels.

Q: Can I use these parts interchangeably in production?

A: Yes, provided your application specifies a T1 LED standoff with 0.440" vertical mounting height, black PVC construction, and ROHS3 compliance. Both parts meet these requirements without functional degradation.
