ELM 2-455 LED Standoff Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELM 2-455 is a T1 LED standoff manufactured by Bivar Inc., designed for vertical mounting applications. This component features a black PVC construction with a 0.455" (11.56mm) length specification. The part maintains Active product status and is ROHS3 compliant, making it suitable for current production environments. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters align within the allowed tolerances for this product category, enabling component interchangeability in applications where dimensional and material specifications permit.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The ELM 4-440 is identified as a parametric equivalent based on the following shared specifications:

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

The primary distinction between these parts is the length specification: ELM 2-455 measures 0.455" (11.56mm), while ELM 4-440 measures 0.440" (11.18mm). This 0.015" (0.38mm) dimensional difference represents the key parameter determining substitution feasibility. Substitution is valid only when the application design accommodates this length variance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both ELM 2-455 and ELM 4-440 maintain Active product status and ROHS3 compliance. Selection between these parts depends on the mechanical clearance and mounting height requirements of the application. The ELM 2-455 provides the longer standoff height at 0.455" (11.56mm), while the ELM 4-440 offers a reduced height of 0.440" (11.18mm). All other electrical and material properties remain equivalent. Component selection should be based on the specific dimensional constraints of the target application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ELM 4-440 be used as a direct replacement for ELM 2-455?

A: Substitution is possible only if the application design accommodates the 0.015" (0.38mm) reduction in standoff length. The ELM 4-440 is shorter and may affect mounting geometry or clearance requirements.

Q: Are the electrical properties identical between these parts?

A: Both parts are T1 LED standoffs with identical material composition (PVC), color (Black), and compliance certifications (ROHS3). Electrical performance is equivalent.

Q: What is the significance of the length difference?

A: The length specification determines the vertical distance between the mounting surface and the LED component. The 0.015" (0.38mm) difference may be critical in space-constrained applications or where precise standoff height is required for proper alignment.

Q: Are both parts currently available?

A: Both ELM 2-455 and ELM 4-440 maintain Active product status with current inventory availability.

Q: Do these parts have different moisture sensitivity requirements?

A: No. Both parts carry Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited), indicating identical handling and storage requirements.
