ELM 2-495 LED Standoff Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELM 2-495 is a T1 LED standoff manufactured by Bivar Inc., featuring a black PVC construction with a 0.495" (12.57mm) vertical height and dual-lead configuration. This component is classified as Active product status and is ROHS3 compliant. LED standoffs serve as mechanical mounting and alignment fixtures for T1 LED packages in vertical surface-mount applications. Substitute parts are identified based on matching core electrical and mechanical parameters within the ELM series product family, enabling component interchangeability when dimensional tolerances and application requirements align.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the ELM 2-495 are identified within the Bivar Inc. LED standoff product family based on the following critical parameters:

Matching Parameters (Required for Substitution):

• LED Type: T1
• Material: Black PVC
• Lead Configuration: 2LD (Dual-Lead)
• Mounting Style: Surface Mount Vertical
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)
• Manufacturer: Bivar Inc.

Variable Parameter (Allows Substitution Variance):

• Length: Dimensional variation within the ELM series (0.485" to 0.510")

The ELM 2-495 has three identified substitute parts: ELM 2-500, ELM 2-510, and ELM 5-485. All substitutes maintain identical electrical and material specifications while offering alternative length dimensions. The ELM 2-500 and ELM 2-510 remain within the ELM 2 series, while ELM 5-485 represents the ELM 5 series variant with comparable dimensional and functional characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All identified substitute parts maintain Active product status and ROHS3 compliance, ensuring regulatory and supply chain continuity. Selection between ELM 2-495 and its substitutes is determined by application-specific dimensional requirements:

ELM 2-495 (0.495" / 12.57mm): Primary specification for designs requiring this exact standoff height.

ELM 2-500 (0.500" / 12.70mm): Substitute within ELM 2 series with +0.005" length variance. Highest inventory availability (4519 pcs) supports production continuity.

ELM 2-510 (0.510" / 12.95mm): Substitute within ELM 2 series with +0.015" length variance. Moderate inventory availability (1846 pcs).

ELM 5-485 (0.485" / 12.32mm): Substitute from ELM 5 series with -0.010" length variance. Highest inventory availability (10054 pcs) across all variants.

All substitutes share identical electrical characteristics, material composition, lead configuration, and compliance certifications. Component selection should be based on dimensional tolerance requirements of the target application and available inventory levels.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ELM 2-495 be directly replaced with ELM 2-500?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications, material composition, lead configuration, and compliance status. The length difference is 0.005" (0.13mm). Substitution is valid when application dimensional tolerances accommodate this variance.

Q: What is the primary difference between ELM 2 and ELM 5 series standoffs?

A: The ELM 2 and ELM 5 series are distinct product lines within the Bivar Inc. portfolio. Both series maintain identical T1 LED type, dual-lead configuration, black PVC material, and compliance specifications. Series selection is determined by design requirements and availability.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. ELM 2-495, ELM 2-500, ELM 2-510, and ELM 5-485 are all ROHS3 compliant with Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited).

Q: Which substitute part has the highest inventory availability?

A: ELM 5-485 has the highest inventory level at 10054 pcs, followed by ELM 2-500 at 4519 pcs and ELM 2-510 at 1846 pcs.

Q: What is the total length variance across all substitute options?

A: Length variance ranges from 0.485" (ELM 5-485) to 0.510" (ELM 2-510), representing a total span of 0.025" (0.64mm).

Q: Are these parts suitable for surface-mount applications?

A: Yes. All parts are configured for vertical surface-mount applications with dual-lead design and black PVC construction.

Q: What packaging format is used for these components?

A: All parts are supplied in Bag packaging format.
