ELM 2-670 LED Standoff Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELM 2-670 is a T1 LED standoff manufactured by Bivar Inc., designed for vertical mounting applications with a 0.670" (17.02mm) length. This component is an active product in the ELM 2 series, constructed from black PVC material and configured for 3mm LED leads with 2-lead configuration. The part is ROHS3 compliant and carries MSL 1 rating, indicating unlimited moisture sensitivity protection.

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters align with the main part specification, enabling direct replacement in applications where the specified dimensions and material properties are maintained.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the ELM 2-670 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• Manufacturer: Bivar Inc. (same manufacturer ensures design consistency)
• Series: ELM 2 (maintains product line compatibility)
• LED Type: T1 (standardized LED form factor)
• Material: Black PVC (mechanical and environmental properties)
• Lead Configuration: 3MM 2LD (electrical and mechanical interface)
• Length Tolerance: 0.670" ±0.005" (0.665" to 0.675" range acceptable for vertical mounting applications)
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant (regulatory requirement)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (storage and handling compatibility)

Two substitute parts meet these criteria: ELM 2-17MM and ELM 2-665. Both maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications within the allowable tolerance band for this product category.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

ELM 2-17MM is a direct parametric equivalent to ELM 2-670. Both parts share identical length specifications (0.670"/17.02mm), material composition, and electrical configuration. This part carries active product status and full ROHS3 compliance. Higher inventory availability (1815 Pcs) supports supply chain continuity.

ELM 2-665 is a length-variant substitute within acceptable tolerance parameters. The 0.665" (16.89mm) length represents a 0.005" (0.13mm) reduction from the main part specification. This part maintains all other critical parameters including material, LED type, lead configuration, and compliance certifications. This variant is suitable for applications where the reduced length falls within mechanical assembly tolerances.

Both substitute parts are manufactured by Bivar Inc. within the ELM 2 series and carry identical RoHS3 and MSL certifications, ensuring regulatory and environmental compatibility with the main part specification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ELM 2-17MM be used as a direct replacement for ELM 2-670?

A: Yes. ELM 2-17MM is a parametric equivalent with identical length (0.670"/17.02mm), material (black PVC), LED type (T1), lead configuration (3MM 2LD), and all compliance certifications. No design modifications are required.

Q: What is the difference between ELM 2-670 and ELM 2-665?

A: The primary difference is length. ELM 2-670 measures 0.670" (17.02mm), while ELM 2-665 measures 0.665" (16.89mm), a 0.005" (0.13mm) reduction. All other parameters—material, LED type, lead configuration, color, and compliance ratings—are identical. ELM 2-665 is suitable for applications where this reduced length is mechanically compatible.

Q: Are all three parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. ELM 2-670, ELM 2-17MM, and ELM 2-665 are all ROHS3 compliant and carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity ratings.

Q: What does the "3MM 2LD" designation mean?

A: This indicates 3mm lead diameter with a 2-lead configuration. All three parts share this specification, ensuring electrical and mechanical interface compatibility.

Q: Can I mix these parts in the same assembly?

A: Yes, provided the mechanical assembly tolerances accommodate the length variation between ELM 2-670/ELM 2-17MM (0.670") and ELM 2-665 (0.665"). The 0.005" difference must be evaluated against specific mounting requirements.

Q: Which part has the best inventory availability?

A: ELM 2-17MM has the highest current inventory at 1815 Pcs, compared to 946 Pcs for ELM 2-670 and 882 Pcs for ELM 2-665.

Q: Are there any differences in packaging between these parts?

A: No. All three parts are supplied in Bag packaging format.
