ELM 2-445 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELM 2-445 is a T1 LED standoff manufactured by Bivar Inc., featuring a black PVC construction with a 0.445" (11.30mm) length. This component is designed for vertical mounting applications requiring LED positioning and spacing in electronic assemblies. The part maintains Active product status and is RoHS3 compliant, ensuring compliance with current environmental regulations. Substitute parts are identified when inventory constraints, lead time requirements, or design flexibility necessitate alternative components that maintain functional equivalence within specified electrical and mechanical parameters.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The ELM 4-440 is identified as a parametric equivalent to the ELM 2-445 based on the following substitution criteria:

Matching Parameters:

• LED Type: T1 (identical)
• Material: Black PVC (identical)
• Mounting Style: Vertical (identical)
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant (identical)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) (identical)
• Product Status: Active (identical)
• Manufacturer: Bivar Inc. (identical)

Dimensional Variance:

• Main Part Length: 0.445" (11.30mm)
• Substitute Part Length: 0.440" (11.18mm)
• Difference: 0.005" (0.12mm)

The dimensional difference of 0.005 inches falls within acceptable mechanical tolerance ranges for LED standoff applications where precise height specifications allow for minor variations in component positioning.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the ELM 2-445 and ELM 4-440 maintain Active product status with full RoHS3 compliance and identical Moisture Sensitivity Level ratings. The ELM 4-440 substitute provides functional equivalence for applications where the 0.005-inch length differential accommodates design tolerances. Selection between these parts should be based on specific assembly height requirements and available inventory. Both components are manufactured by Bivar Inc. and share identical material composition, LED type classification, and environmental compliance certifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What is the primary difference between ELM 2-445 and ELM 4-440?

A: The primary difference is the component length. The ELM 2-445 measures 0.445" (11.30mm), while the ELM 4-440 measures 0.440" (11.18mm), representing a 0.005-inch (0.12mm) dimensional variance.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the ELM 2-445 and ELM 4-440 are ROHS3 compliant and carry identical Moisture Sensitivity Level ratings of 1 (Unlimited).

Q: Can ELM 4-440 be used in place of ELM 2-445?

A: The ELM 4-440 is a parametric equivalent when the 0.005-inch length difference is acceptable within your assembly design specifications. Both parts share identical LED type (T1), material (Black PVC), mounting style (Vertical), and compliance certifications.

Q: What LED type do these standoffs accommodate?

A: Both components are designed for T1 LED types and feature vertical mounting configurations.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: Both parts are supplied in Bag packaging format.

Q: What is the Moisture Sensitivity Level for these components?

A: Both the ELM 2-445 and ELM 4-440 carry an MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage or handling.
