ELM 2-690 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELM 2-690 is a T1 LED standoff manufactured by Bivar Inc., designed for vertical mounting applications with a 0.690" (17.53mm) 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. Equivalent and substitute parts are identified to address inventory availability, lead time constraints, or specific application requirements within the ELM 2 series.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution within the ELM 2-690 family is determined by the following critical parameters: series designation (ELM 2), LED type (T1), material composition (PVC), color (Black), lead configuration (2LD), and mounting orientation (Vertical). All substitute parts maintain identical compliance certifications (ROHS3, MSL 1) and packaging format (Bag). The primary variable among substitute parts is the standoff length, which ranges from 0.665" to 0.690". Length variations within this range are functionally equivalent for applications where the standoff height tolerance permits dimensional flexibility. All identified substitutes are manufactured by Bivar Inc. and maintain Active product status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts—ELM 2-690, ELM 2-665, and ELM 2-17MM—are Active products manufactured by Bivar Inc. within the ELM 2 series. Each part maintains ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating, confirming suitability for current production and assembly processes. Selection between these parts is determined by standoff length requirements specific to the application. The ELM 2-690 provides the maximum height at 0.690" (17.53mm), while ELM 2-665 offers the minimum at 0.665" (16.89mm), with ELM 2-17MM positioned between them at 0.670" (17.02mm). All parts are functionally interchangeable within applications where the dimensional tolerance range of 0.025" (0.64mm) is acceptable. Inventory availability should be evaluated against application lead time requirements, as stock levels vary across the three options.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ELM 2-665 be used in place of ELM 2-690?

A: Yes, within applications where a 0.025" (0.64mm) reduction in standoff height is acceptable. Both parts share identical LED type (T1), material (PVC), color (Black), lead configuration (2LD), and compliance certifications (ROHS3, MSL 1).

Q: What is the primary difference between these substitute parts?

A: The standoff length is the only dimensional difference. ELM 2-690 measures 0.690" (17.53mm), ELM 2-665 measures 0.665" (16.89mm), and ELM 2-17MM measures 0.670" (17.02mm). All other electrical, material, and compliance parameters are identical.

Q: Are all three parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes, all three parts—ELM 2-690, ELM 2-665, and ELM 2-17MM—are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating.

Q: Do these parts have different packaging formats?

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

Q: Which part should be selected if height tolerance is critical?

A: Application-specific height requirements determine the appropriate selection. ELM 2-690 is specified for applications requiring maximum standoff height. ELM 2-665 is specified for applications with reduced height constraints. ELM 2-17MM provides an intermediate option.

Q: Are all parts currently in production?

A: Yes, all three parts maintain Active product status with Bivar Inc.
