ELM 2-625 LED Standoff Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELM 2-625 is a T1 LED standoff manufactured by Bivar Inc., designed for vertical mounting applications with a 0.625" (15.88mm) 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 are identified when inventory constraints, lead time requirements, or design flexibility necessitate alternative components that maintain functional equivalence within specified mechanical and electrical parameters.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The ELM 4-600 is identified as a parametric equivalent to the ELM 2-625 based on the following substitution criteria:

Matching Parameters:

• Manufacturer: Bivar Inc. (same source)
• LED Type: T1 (identical LED form factor)
• Material: PVC (identical material composition)
• Color: Black (identical color specification)
• Lead Configuration: 2LD (identical 2-lead structure)
• Mounting Style: Vertical (SR VERT) (identical mounting orientation)
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant (equivalent compliance level)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) (identical MSL rating)
• Product Status: Active (both parts in active production)

Variable Parameter:

• Length: ELM 2-625 = 0.625" (15.88mm); ELM 4-600 = 0.600" (15.24mm)

The length differential of 0.025" (0.64mm) represents the primary design consideration for substitution eligibility. Both parts share identical mechanical mounting interfaces, material properties, and electrical characteristics for LED accommodation.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the ELM 2-625 and ELM 4-600 maintain Active product status with ROHS3 compliance and identical Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 ratings. Selection between these parts is determined by mechanical clearance requirements within the application assembly. The ELM 2-625 provides 0.625" standoff height, while the ELM 4-600 provides 0.600" standoff height. The 0.025" (0.64mm) length difference must be evaluated against PCB layout constraints, component spacing, and mechanical assembly tolerances. Both parts are manufactured by Bivar Inc. using identical PVC material and support T1 LED configurations with 2-lead connections in vertical mounting orientation. Inventory availability and lead time considerations may influence part selection when both options satisfy mechanical requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What is the primary difference between ELM 2-625 and ELM 4-600?

A: The primary difference is the standoff length. The ELM 2-625 measures 0.625" (15.88mm), while the ELM 4-600 measures 0.600" (15.24mm). All other parameters including material, color, LED type, lead configuration, and mounting style are identical.

Q: Can ELM 4-600 be used as a direct replacement for ELM 2-625?

A: Substitution is possible only when the 0.025" (0.64mm) length reduction does not violate PCB layout, component clearance, or mechanical assembly specifications. The shorter standoff height must be compatible with the application design.

Q: Are both parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes, both ELM 2-625 and ELM 4-600 are ROHS3 compliant with identical Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited) ratings.

Q: What is the packaging format for both parts?

A: Both parts are supplied in Bag packaging format.

Q: Do both parts support the same LED type and lead configuration?

A: Yes, both parts accommodate T1 LED types with 2-lead (2LD) configurations in vertical mounting orientation.

Q: Are both parts currently in active production?

A: Yes, both ELM 2-625 and ELM 4-600 maintain Active product status.
