ELM 2-630 LED Standoff Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELM 2-630 is a T1 LED standoff manufactured by Bivar Inc., designed for vertical mounting applications with a 0.630" (16.00mm) 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 compatibility within specified electrical and mechanical parameters.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the ELM 2-630 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Primary Compatibility Criteria:

• Manufacturer: Bivar Inc. (same manufacturer ensures design consistency)
• LED Type: T1 (standardized form factor)
• Material: Black PVC (mechanical and environmental compatibility)
• Configuration: 3MM 2-Lead vertical mount (electrical and mechanical interface)
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant (regulatory requirement)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) (storage and handling compatibility)

Secondary Consideration:

• Length tolerance: Substitute parts may vary within mechanical design constraints of the application

The ELM 4-600 qualifies as a parametric equivalent based on matching all primary criteria. The length differential (0.630" versus 0.600") represents a 0.030" (0.76mm) variation, which falls within acceptable mechanical tolerance for standoff applications where vertical spacing adjustments can be accommodated through design layout.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

ELM 2-630 Primary Selection: Select the ELM 2-630 when the application requires the specified 0.630" (16.00mm) standoff height. This part is Active status with 966 units in stock, ensuring availability for production schedules.

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

• The application design permits a 0.030" (0.76mm) reduction in standoff height
• Inventory availability of the primary part is constrained
• Both parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical interface specifications
• Regulatory compliance (ROHS3, EAR99, HTSUS 3926.90.9985) is maintained

Both parts are Active products with ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating, confirming suitability for current manufacturing environments without additional qualification requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ELM 4-600 be used as a direct replacement for ELM 2-630?

A: The ELM 4-600 is a parametric equivalent with all critical specifications matching the ELM 2-630 except for length. The 0.030" (0.76mm) height difference must be evaluated within the specific application's mechanical constraints. If the application design accommodates this length variation, substitution is valid.

Q: What are the key parameters that determine substitution compatibility?

A: Substitution compatibility is determined by: LED type (T1), material (Black PVC), configuration (3MM 2-Lead vertical mount), manufacturer (Bivar Inc.), RoHS status (ROHS3 Compliant), and MSL rating (1 - Unlimited). Length variations are secondary considerations dependent on application-specific mechanical requirements.

Q: Are both parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. Both ELM 2-630 and ELM 4-600 are ROHS3 compliant with identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (3926.90.9985) classifications.

Q: What is the inventory status for each part?

A: ELM 2-630 has 966 units in stock. ELM 4-600 has 1058 units in stock. Both are listed as New Original inventory.

Q: Does the length difference affect electrical performance?

A: No. The length difference is a mechanical parameter only. Electrical performance and LED interface specifications remain identical between both parts.

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

A: Both parts have MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage, handling, or shelf life.
