ELM 2-665 LED Standoff Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELM 2-665 is a T1 LED standoff manufactured by Bivar Inc., designed for vertical mounting applications with a 0.665" (16.89mm) length. This component is constructed from black PVC material and accommodates 3MM LED configurations with 2-lead connections. 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 the ELM 2 series specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution within the ELM 2 series is determined by the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Manufacturer: Bivar Inc.
• Series: ELM 2
• LED Type: T1
• Material: PVC
• Color: Black
• Lead Configuration: 2LD
• Mounting Orientation: Vertical (SR VERT)
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant
• MSL Rating: 1 (Unlimited)

Variable Parameter (Allows Substitution):

• Length: Tolerance range within ELM 2 series specifications

The ELM 2-17MM qualifies as a parametric equivalent because it maintains all mandatory matching parameters while operating within the acceptable length variation for this product category.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

ELM 2-665 Primary Selection:

• Recommended when exact 0.665" (16.89mm) length specification is required
• Current inventory: 882 Pcs New Original In Stock
• ROHS3 compliant for regulated applications
• Active product status ensures continued availability

ELM 2-17MM Substitute Selection:

• Functionally equivalent within ELM 2 series parameters
• Length variation: 0.670" (17.02mm) versus 0.665" (16.89mm) represents 0.005" (0.13mm) difference
• Higher inventory availability: 1815 Pcs New Original In Stock
• ROHS3 compliant for regulated applications
• Active product status ensures continued availability
• Suitable for applications where the minor length variation does not impact mechanical clearance or electrical performance

Both parts maintain identical compliance certifications (ROHS3, MSL 1) and are manufactured by the same supplier within the same product series.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What determines if ELM 2-17MM can substitute for ELM 2-665?

A: Substitution is valid when all mandatory parameters match: manufacturer (Bivar Inc.), series (ELM 2), LED type (T1), material (PVC), color (black), lead configuration (2LD), mounting orientation (vertical), and compliance ratings (ROHS3, MSL 1). The length variation of 0.005" (0.13mm) falls within acceptable tolerance for this product category.

Q: What is the length difference between these parts?

A: ELM 2-665 measures 0.665" (16.89mm), while ELM 2-17MM measures 0.670" (17.02mm). The difference is 0.005" (0.13mm).

Q: Are both parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes, both ELM 2-665 and ELM 2-17MM are ROHS3 compliant and carry MSL rating 1 (Unlimited).

Q: Which part has better inventory availability?

A: ELM 2-17MM has higher current inventory at 1815 Pcs New Original In Stock compared to ELM 2-665 at 882 Pcs New Original In Stock.

Q: Can I use ELM 2-17MM in an application designed for ELM 2-665?

A: Substitution is valid when the 0.005" (0.13mm) length difference does not violate mechanical clearance requirements or electrical performance specifications of the application. Both parts are identical in all other functional parameters.

Q: What is the packaging format for these parts?

A: Both ELM 2-665 and ELM 2-17MM are supplied in Bag packaging.
