ELM 2-575 LED Standoff Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELM 2-575 is a T1 LED standoff manufactured by Bivar Inc., featuring a black PVC construction with a 0.575" (14.61mm) vertical mounting height. This component is classified as an active product and serves as a mechanical support and alignment fixture for T1 LED packages in vertical surface-mount applications.

Substitute parts become necessary when the primary part reaches end-of-life status, inventory depletion occurs, or when design specifications permit alternative mechanical heights within the same product family. The ELM 2-575 maintains full compatibility with substitute parts that share identical electrical, material, and compliance characteristics while accommodating minor dimensional variations.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The ELM 2-575 qualifies for substitution with the ELM 4-600 based on the following alignment of critical parameters:

Shared Electrical and Mechanical Characteristics:

• LED Package Type: Both parts accommodate T1 LED packages
• Material: Both utilize black PVC construction
• Mounting Method: Both feature surface-mount vertical orientation
• RoHS Compliance: Both meet ROHS3 Compliant standards
• Moisture Sensitivity: Both classified as MSL 1 (Unlimited)
• Manufacturer: Both produced by Bivar Inc.
• Product Status: Both maintain Active status

Dimensional Variance: The primary difference between these parts is the vertical standoff height. The ELM 2-575 provides 0.575" (14.61mm) mounting height, while the ELM 4-600 provides 0.600" (15.24mm) mounting height. This 0.025" (0.63mm) dimensional difference falls within the tolerance range for mechanical standoff applications where vertical clearance requirements permit such variation.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Part Selection: The ELM 2-575 remains the preferred component when the specified 0.575" (14.61mm) vertical height is a critical design requirement. This part maintains Active product status with confirmed inventory availability of 895 pieces.

Substitute Part Selection: The ELM 4-600 serves as a valid substitute when design specifications permit a 0.600" (15.24mm) vertical standoff height. Selection of this substitute is appropriate when:

• PCB layout and component clearance requirements accommodate the additional 0.025" (0.63mm) height
• The application does not impose strict vertical dimension constraints
• Inventory availability of the primary part is insufficient for production requirements

Both parts maintain identical compliance certifications (ROHS3), moisture sensitivity classification (MSL 1), and product status (Active), ensuring equivalent regulatory and environmental performance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What is the primary difference between the ELM 2-575 and ELM 4-600?

A: The standoff height differs by 0.025" (0.63mm). The ELM 2-575 provides 0.575" (14.61mm) height, while the ELM 4-600 provides 0.600" (15.24mm) height. All other electrical, material, and compliance specifications remain identical.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the ELM 2-575 and ELM 4-600 meet ROHS3 Compliant standards and carry identical environmental certifications.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for these parts?

A: Both parts are classified as MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage or handling.

Q: Can the ELM 4-600 be used in place of the ELM 2-575 in all applications?

A: The ELM 4-600 can be substituted only when the design permits the increased 0.600" (15.24mm) vertical height. Applications with strict vertical clearance requirements must use the ELM 2-575.

Q: Do these parts use the same LED package type?

A: Yes. Both parts are designed for T1 LED packages and feature identical surface-mount vertical orientation.

Q: What packaging format is used for both parts?

A: Both the ELM 2-575 and ELM 4-600 are supplied in bag packaging.

Q: Are there any differences in material composition between these parts?

A: No. Both parts utilize black PVC material with identical mechanical and thermal properties.
