ELM 2-505 LED Standoff Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELM 2-505 is a T1 LED standoff manufactured by Bivar Inc., featuring a vertical mount configuration with a 0.505" (12.83mm) length in black PVC material. This component is designed for 3MM LED applications with 2-lead configuration and is currently in active product status. Substitute parts are identified based on matching core electrical and mechanical parameters within the ELM series family, enabling component selection flexibility for design requirements and inventory availability.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the ELM 2-505 are qualified based on the following criteria:

Core Matching Parameters:

• Manufacturer: Bivar Inc.
• LED Type: T1
• Mount Configuration: Vertical (SR VERT)
• Material: Black PVC
• Lead Count: 2LD
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

Variable Parameter:

• Length: Tolerance range 0.485" to 0.510" (12.32mm to 12.95mm)

The ELM 2-505 (0.505" length) is substitutable with ELM 2-500, ELM 2-510, and ELM 5-485 based on matching all core parameters. Length variations within this range maintain functional compatibility for T1 LED standoff applications. All substitute parts share identical electrical characteristics, material composition, and regulatory compliance status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All substitute parts (ELM 2-500, ELM 2-510, ELM 5-485) maintain active product status with Bivar Inc. and carry identical ROHS3 compliance certification and MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited). Selection among these alternatives is determined by specific length requirements within the 0.485" to 0.510" range. The ELM 2-505 at 0.505" represents the nominal center specification within this substitution group. All parts are packaged in bags and share identical electrical and mechanical characteristics for T1 LED standoff applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ELM 2-500 replace ELM 2-505 in production?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical LED type (T1), mount configuration (vertical), material (black PVC), lead count (2LD), and regulatory compliance (ROHS3, MSL 1). The length difference of 0.005" (0.13mm) represents a minor dimensional variation within the substitution group.

Q: What is the length tolerance range for ELM series substitutes?

A: The qualified substitute parts range from 0.485" (ELM 5-485) to 0.510" (ELM 2-510), representing a total span of 0.025" (0.63mm). The ELM 2-505 at 0.505" falls within this range.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. ELM 2-500, ELM 2-510, and ELM 5-485 are all ROHS3 compliant with MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), matching the ELM 2-505 specification.

Q: What distinguishes ELM 2 series from ELM 5 series parts?

A: Both series share identical core parameters (LED type, mount configuration, material, lead count, compliance). The series designation reflects internal Bivar Inc. product line organization. ELM 5-485 is functionally equivalent to ELM 2 series parts within the substitution group.

Q: Can length variation affect circuit board layout?

A: Length variations of 0.005" to 0.025" (0.13mm to 0.63mm) are minor dimensional differences. Design verification for specific PCB standoff height requirements is necessary when selecting among substitute parts with different length specifications.
