ELM 2-620 LED Standoff Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELM 2-620 is a T1 LED standoff manufactured by Bivar Inc., designed for vertical mounting applications with a 0.620" (15.75mm) length. This component is constructed from black PVC material and accommodates 3MM 2-lead LED configurations. The part maintains Active product status and is ROHS3 compliant, making it suitable for current production environments. Substitute parts may be required due to inventory constraints, design optimization for specific board layouts, or application-specific height requirements.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the ELM 2-620 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Manufacturer: Bivar Inc.
• LED Type: T1
• Material: Black PVC
• Configuration: Vertical Mount, 3MM 2-Lead
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

Variable Parameter:

• Length: Tolerance range permits variation within mechanical design constraints

The ELM 4-600 qualifies as a parametric equivalent because it maintains all mandatory parameters while offering a reduced length specification of 0.600" (15.24mm) compared to the primary part's 0.620" (15.75mm). This 0.020" (0.51mm) difference accommodates applications requiring lower profile standoff heights while preserving all electrical and material characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the ELM 2-620 and ELM 4-600 maintain Active product status and full ROHS3 compliance, qualifying them for equivalent use in production applications. Selection between these parts is determined by mechanical height requirements within the target assembly. The ELM 2-620 provides the standard 0.620" (15.75mm) standoff height, while the ELM 4-600 delivers a reduced 0.600" (15.24mm) profile. Both parts carry identical electrical characteristics, material composition, and regulatory certifications. Component selection should be based on PCB layout constraints and available vertical clearance specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the ELM 4-600 be used as a direct replacement for the ELM 2-620?

A: The ELM 4-600 is a parametric equivalent with identical electrical and material specifications. The 0.020" (0.51mm) length difference must be evaluated against your specific mechanical design requirements and available board clearance.

Q: Are there electrical performance differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts are T1 LED standoffs with identical material composition (black PVC), configuration (vertical mount, 3MM 2-lead), and regulatory compliance (ROHS3). Electrical performance is equivalent.

Q: What is the significance of the length difference?

A: The length variation (0.620" versus 0.600") affects only the vertical standoff height. This parameter is critical for applications with restricted vertical clearance or specific board-to-component spacing requirements.

Q: Are both parts available in the same packaging format?

A: Yes. Both the ELM 2-620 and ELM 4-600 are supplied in Bag packaging, maintaining consistent handling and storage protocols.

Q: Do these parts have different moisture sensitivity requirements?

A: No. Both parts carry Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited), indicating no special moisture control measures are required during storage, handling, or assembly.

Q: Which part should I select for a new design?

A: Selection depends on your mechanical design specifications. If your PCB layout accommodates the standard 0.620" height, use the ELM 2-620. If space constraints require a lower profile, the ELM 4-600 with 0.600" height is appropriate.
