ELM 2-515

Part Overview

The ELM 2-515 is a T1 LED standoff manufactured by Bivar Inc., constructed from black PVC material with a length of 0.515" (13.08mm). This component is actively produced and RoHS3 compliant, suitable for vertical mounting applications requiring precise standoff heights. Alternative models within the ELM 2 series are available for applications with different height specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts within the ELM 2 series are determined by compatibility in the following key parameters: manufacturer (Bivar Inc.), LED type (T1), material (Black PVC), mounting style (vertical), product status (active), and RoHS compliance (ROHS3). The primary variable among substitute parts is the standoff length, which ranges from 0.500" to 0.510". Parts are considered substitutable when all non-dimensional parameters are identical and the standoff length falls within the mechanical tolerance requirements of the application. The ELM 2-500 and ELM 2-510 share identical electrical and material specifications with the ELM 2-515, differing only in overall height.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts in the ELM 2 series maintain identical product status (active), RoHS3 compliance, and moisture sensitivity classification. The choice between ELM 2-515, ELM 2-500, and ELM 2-510 is determined solely by the standoff height requirement of the application. The ELM 2-515 at 0.515" (13.08mm) provides the maximum height among the three options, while the ELM 2-500 at 0.500" (12.70mm) provides the minimum height. The ELM 2-510 at 0.510" (12.95mm) offers an intermediate height. All parts are suitable for applications requiring RoHS3-compliant LED standoffs with unlimited moisture tolerance. Availability data indicates adequate stock levels across all three options.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the ELM 2-500 or ELM 2-510 be used in place of the ELM 2-515? A: Substitution is possible only when the mechanical tolerance of the application permits the height difference. The ELM 2-500 is 0.015" shorter and the ELM 2-510 is 0.005" shorter than the ELM 2-515. All three parts are electrically and functionally identical in all other parameters.

Q: Are all three parts RoHS compliant? A: All three parts—ELM 2-515, ELM 2-500, and ELM 2-510—are RoHS3 compliant and suitable for regulated applications.

Q: What is the significance of the moisture sensitivity level rating? A: All three parts carry an MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture-related handling restrictions are required during storage, transport, or assembly.

Q: Are the parts available in different colors? A: All parts in this substitute group are black. No alternate colors are provided in this product family.

Q: How should I select between the three available options? A: Selection is based on the vertical standoff height required by your circuit board design. Verify the mechanical clearance and component spacing requirements before selecting between 0.500", 0.510", or 0.515" heights.
