ELM 2-700 LED Standoff Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELM 2-700 is a T1 LED standoff manufactured by Bivar Inc., designed for vertical mounting applications with a 0.700" (17.78mm) 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 equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters align within the allowed specifications for this product category, enabling direct component selection without functional compromise.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the ELM 2-700 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• Manufacturer: Bivar Inc. (same manufacturer ensures design consistency)
• Series: ELM 2 (maintains mechanical and electrical compatibility within the series)
• LED Type: T1 (standardized LED form factor)
• Material: Black PVC (identical material specification)
• LED Configuration: 3MM 2LD (matching lead count and diameter)
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant (regulatory alignment)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) (identical environmental rating)

Secondary Consideration:

• Length tolerance: Parts within the ELM 2 series with minor length variations (0.670" to 0.700") remain functionally equivalent for vertical mounting applications where the standoff height accommodates standard PCB clearance requirements.

The ELM 2-17MM meets all primary criteria and qualifies as a parametric equivalent substitute.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the ELM 2-700 and ELM 2-17MM maintain Active product status with ROHS3 compliance and identical Moisture Sensitivity Level ratings. Selection between these parts is determined by mechanical fit requirements within the application.

The ELM 2-700 provides 0.700" (17.78mm) standoff height, while the ELM 2-17MM provides 0.670" (17.02mm) standoff height. This 0.030" (0.76mm) difference must be evaluated against PCB clearance specifications and component placement constraints in the target assembly.

Both parts are manufactured by Bivar Inc. within the ELM 2 series and share identical electrical and material specifications, ensuring functional equivalence when mechanical height requirements are satisfied.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ELM 2-17MM be used as a direct replacement for ELM 2-700?

A: ELM 2-17MM qualifies as a parametric equivalent substitute based on matching manufacturer, series, LED type, material, configuration, and compliance ratings. The 0.030" length difference must be evaluated against application-specific PCB clearance and component placement requirements.

Q: What is the significance of the length difference between these parts?

A: The ELM 2-700 provides 0.700" standoff height while ELM 2-17MM provides 0.670" standoff height. This difference affects vertical clearance between the PCB and mounted components. Selection depends on whether the application tolerates this 0.030" reduction in standoff height.

Q: Are both parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. Both ELM 2-700 and ELM 2-17MM are ROHS3 compliant and carry identical Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited) ratings, meeting current regulatory requirements for production environments.

Q: Do these parts share the same LED configuration?

A: Yes. Both parts accommodate T1 LED types with 3MM 2LD (2-lead) configuration, ensuring electrical and mechanical compatibility within the ELM 2 series.

Q: What packaging format is used for both parts?

A: Both ELM 2-700 and ELM 2-17MM are supplied in Bag packaging format.
