ELM 2-585 LED Standoff: Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELM 2-585 is a T1 LED standoff manufactured by Bivar Inc., designed for vertical mounting applications. This component features a black PVC construction with a 0.585" (14.86mm) length specification. The part maintains Active product status and is RoHS3 compliant, making it suitable for current production environments. Identification of equivalent substitute parts becomes necessary when managing inventory constraints, addressing supply chain disruptions, or accommodating design flexibility within allowable mechanical and electrical tolerances.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the ELM 2-585 is determined by strict alignment with the following parameters:

Critical Matching Parameters:

• LED Type: T1 (electrical and mechanical form factor)
• Material: PVC (chemical compatibility and mechanical properties)
• Color: Black (visual and application consistency)
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant (regulatory requirement)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) (environmental tolerance)
• Manufacturer: Bivar Inc. (design and quality consistency)

Allowable Variation:

• Length: Mechanical tolerance within the standoff height specification. The ELM 2-585 operates at 0.585" (14.86mm). Substitute parts may vary in length to accommodate different PCB stack-up requirements, provided the LED type and mounting orientation remain consistent.

The ELM 4-600 qualifies as a parametric equivalent because it maintains identical electrical characteristics (T1 LED), material composition (PVC), color (Black), compliance certifications (ROHS3), and environmental ratings (MSL 1). The length differential of 0.015" (0.38mm) represents a mechanical variation within acceptable standoff design parameters for vertical mounting applications.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Selection: ELM 2-585 Use the ELM 2-585 when the design specification explicitly requires a 0.585" (14.86mm) standoff height. This part is Active, RoHS3 compliant, and maintains full inventory availability (787 Pcs).

Substitute Selection: ELM 4-600 The ELM 4-600 serves as a valid substitute when:

• PCB stack-up design accommodates a 0.600" (15.24mm) standoff height
• The 0.015" (0.38mm) length increase does not conflict with mechanical clearance requirements
• Electrical and environmental performance requirements remain unchanged

Both parts maintain identical compliance certifications (ROHS3, MSL 1) and Active product status, ensuring equivalent regulatory and supply chain reliability. The ELM 4-600 offers higher current inventory availability (1058 Pcs), which may support extended production schedules.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the ELM 4-600 be used as a direct replacement for the ELM 2-585 in existing designs?

A: The ELM 4-600 is electrically and materially equivalent but differs in length by 0.015" (0.38mm). Direct substitution requires verification that the increased standoff height does not violate PCB clearance, component spacing, or mechanical assembly constraints. Design review is necessary before implementation.

Q: What are the key differences between these two parts?

A: The primary difference is standoff length: ELM 2-585 measures 0.585" (14.86mm), while ELM 4-600 measures 0.600" (15.24mm). All other parameters—LED type (T1), material (PVC), color (Black), compliance (ROHS3), and environmental rating (MSL 1)—are identical.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the ELM 2-585 and ELM 4-600 are RoHS3 compliant, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic component manufacturing and assembly.

Q: What is the Moisture Sensitivity Level for these parts?

A: Both parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions. Standard storage and handling procedures apply without special environmental controls.

Q: Which part should I select for new designs?

A: Selection depends on mechanical design requirements. If the design specifies 0.585" standoff height, use ELM 2-585. If the design accommodates 0.600" height or requires flexibility in standoff length, ELM 4-600 is suitable. Both parts are Active and support long-term production.

Q: Are these parts available in different packaging options?

A: Both parts are supplied in Bag packaging. No alternative packaging formats are specified for these part numbers.
