ELM 2-595 LED Standoff Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELM 2-595 is a T1 LED standoff manufactured by Bivar Inc., featuring a black PVC construction with a 0.595" (15.11mm) 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 experiences inventory constraints, extended lead times, or when design specifications permit dimensional tolerance variations within acceptable engineering limits. The ELM 2-595 maintains active product status with 938 units in current stock inventory.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The ELM 2-595 has one identified parametric equivalent: the ELM 4-600. Substitution eligibility is determined by the following criteria:

Matching Parameters:

• LED Package Type: Both parts accommodate T1 LED packages
• Mounting Configuration: Both feature surface-mount vertical orientation
• Material Composition: Both utilize black PVC construction
• RoHS Compliance: Both meet ROHS3 Compliant standards
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: Both rated at MSL 1 (Unlimited)
• Product Status: Both classified as Active

Dimensional Variance: The ELM 4-600 provides a standoff height of 0.600" (15.24mm) compared to the ELM 2-595 at 0.595" (15.11mm). This represents a 0.005" (0.13mm) dimensional difference. Substitution is valid when circuit board layout and component clearance specifications accommodate this height variance.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Selection: ELM 2-595

The ELM 2-595 remains the specified component for applications requiring the exact 0.595" (15.11mm) standoff height. Both the primary part and substitute maintain Active product status with ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 environmental ratings, ensuring equivalent regulatory and reliability characteristics.

Substitute Selection: ELM 4-600

The ELM 4-600 serves as a valid substitute when design specifications permit a 0.005" (0.13mm) increase in standoff height. This substitution is applicable in applications where:

• Circuit board layout tolerances accommodate the dimensional variance
• Component clearance requirements do not impose strict height constraints
• The additional 0.13mm height does not conflict with overlying assembly components

Both parts are manufactured by Bivar Inc. and maintain identical material composition, mounting configuration, and regulatory compliance status. The ELM 4-600 currently maintains higher inventory availability at 1058 units.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What is the primary difference between the ELM 2-595 and ELM 4-600?

A: The standoff height differs by 0.005" (0.13mm). The ELM 2-595 measures 0.595" (15.11mm), while the ELM 4-600 measures 0.600" (15.24mm). All other mechanical, material, and regulatory specifications are identical.

Q: Can the ELM 4-600 be used as a direct replacement for the ELM 2-595?

A: The ELM 4-600 is a parametric equivalent suitable for substitution only when the application design permits the 0.005" height variance. Circuit board layout and component clearance specifications must accommodate this dimensional difference.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the ELM 2-595 and ELM 4-600 meet ROHS3 Compliant standards and carry an MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating.

Q: What packaging format is used for these parts?

A: Both parts are supplied in Bag packaging format.

Q: Which part has better current availability?

A: The ELM 4-600 currently maintains 1058 units in stock inventory, compared to 938 units for the ELM 2-595.

Q: Do these parts support the same LED package types?

A: Yes. Both the ELM 2-595 and ELM 4-600 are designed for T1 LED packages in vertical surface-mount configurations.

Q: Are there any material or color differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts utilize black PVC construction with identical material properties and appearance.
