ELM 2-7MM LED Standoff Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELM 2-7MM is a T1 LED standoff manufactured by Bivar Inc., designed for vertical mounting applications with a 0.280" (7.11mm) length. This component is constructed from black PVC material and accommodates 3mm LED configurations with 2-lead designs. The part maintains Active product status and is RoHS3 compliant with unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1).

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters align with the main part specifications, enabling direct replacement in circuit board assemblies without functional degradation.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the ELM 2-7MM is determined by the following critical parameters:

Primary Compatibility Criteria:

• LED Type: T1 (all substitutes maintain T1 specification)
• Lead Configuration: 2-Lead (consistent across all alternatives)
• Color: Black (maintained across all substitute options)
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant (all substitutes meet this requirement)
• MSL Rating: 1 (Unlimited) (all substitutes maintain this rating)

Material and Length Considerations: The ELM 2-7MM (PVC, 0.280") can be substituted with parts featuring either PVC or Nylon construction, with acceptable length variance between 0.280" (7.11mm) and 0.285" (7.24mm). This minimal length differential (0.005" / 0.13mm) falls within standard mechanical tolerances for LED standoff applications and does not affect functional performance in vertical mounting configurations.

All identified substitutes are manufactured by Bivar Inc., ensuring consistent design standards and manufacturing quality across the product family.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All identified substitute parts maintain Active product status and full RoHS3 compliance, confirming their suitability for current production and regulatory requirements.

ELM 2-285: Direct material equivalent (PVC construction) with 0.005" length increase. Suitable for applications where PVC material specification is required and minimal height variance is acceptable.

H-101C and H-101C-1: Nylon construction alternatives with identical electrical and mechanical performance characteristics. These parts provide material flexibility for applications requiring enhanced mechanical durability or specific thermal properties associated with nylon composition. Both variants maintain identical specifications and are functionally interchangeable.

Selection between substitute options should be based on material requirement (PVC versus Nylon) and application-specific mechanical constraints. All substitutes are manufactured by Bivar Inc., ensuring consistent quality and design standards.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ELM 2-7MM be directly replaced with ELM 2-285?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical PVC material composition, T1 LED type, 2-lead configuration, and black color. The 0.005" (0.13mm) length difference falls within standard mechanical tolerances for LED standoff applications and does not affect functional performance in vertical mounting configurations.

Q: What is the difference between H-101C and H-101C-1?

A: H-101C and H-101C-1 are functionally identical substitutes with matching specifications across all electrical and mechanical parameters. Both feature Nylon construction, 0.285" length, T1 LED type, and 2-lead configuration. Selection between these variants should be based on inventory availability and supplier preference.

Q: Can I substitute PVC standoffs (ELM 2-7MM) with Nylon standoffs (H-101C)?

A: Yes. Both materials meet identical electrical specifications, RoHS compliance, and MSL ratings. The substitution is valid from a functional standpoint. Material selection should be based on application-specific requirements such as mechanical durability, thermal properties, or environmental exposure conditions.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All identified substitute parts maintain ROHS3 Compliant status, confirming their eligibility for applications requiring regulatory compliance with current environmental standards.

Q: What is the maximum acceptable length variance between ELM 2-7MM and its substitutes?

A: The maximum length variance is 0.005" (0.13mm), occurring between the ELM 2-7MM (0.280") and both ELM 2-285 and Nylon alternatives (0.285"). This variance is within standard mechanical tolerances for LED standoff applications and does not compromise functional performance.

Q: Do all substitute parts share the same lead configuration?

A: Yes. All substitute parts maintain the 2-lead configuration specified for the ELM 2-7MM, ensuring direct compatibility with existing circuit board layouts and solder pad configurations.
