ELM 2-885 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELM 2-885 is a T1 LED standoff manufactured by Bivar Inc., designed for vertical mounting applications with a 0.885" (22.48mm) 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 specified electrical and mechanical parameters.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The ELM 2-885 is grouped with the ELM 5-23MM based on the following substitution criteria:

Common Parameters:

• Manufacturer: Bivar Inc.
• LED Type: T1
• Material: PVC
• Color: Black
• LED Configuration: 3MM 2-Lead
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)
• Product Status: Active

Mechanical Tolerance Consideration: Both parts function as vertical-mount LED standoffs with length specifications within the same dimensional family. The ELM 2-885 specifies 0.885" (22.48mm) length, while the ELM 5-23MM specifies 0.910" (23.11mm) length. This 0.025" (0.63mm) difference represents a minor dimensional variance that falls within standard mechanical tolerance ranges for LED standoff applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the ELM 2-885 and ELM 5-23MM are Active products manufactured by Bivar Inc. with identical ROHS3 compliance and Moisture Sensitivity Level ratings. Selection between these parts should be based on:

Inventory Availability: The ELM 5-23MM maintains higher stock levels (7087 Pcs) compared to the ELM 2-885 (765 Pcs), making it suitable for high-volume production requirements or extended lead time mitigation.

Dimensional Requirements: The ELM 2-885 is specified for applications requiring the 0.885" (22.48mm) length. The ELM 5-23MM, at 0.910" (23.11mm), is suitable for applications where the additional 0.025" (0.63mm) length is mechanically acceptable within circuit board layout constraints.

Regulatory Compliance: Both parts satisfy ROHS3 requirements and carry identical MSL ratings, ensuring equivalent environmental and regulatory performance in production environments.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the ELM 5-23MM directly replace the ELM 2-885 in all applications?

A: The ELM 5-23MM functions as a substitute where the 0.025" (0.63mm) length difference is mechanically accommodated within the application's design constraints. Verification of circuit board clearances and mounting geometry is necessary to confirm compatibility.

Q: Are there electrical differences between these two parts?

A: No electrical differences exist. Both parts are T1 LED standoffs with identical 3MM 2-lead configurations, material composition, and compliance certifications.

Q: What is the significance of the different series designations (ELM 2 vs. ELM 5)?

A: The series designation reflects the manufacturer's product line organization. Both series share identical functional specifications for LED type, material, color, and compliance status, with the primary distinction being the length specification and series classification.

Q: Are both parts suitable for RoHS3 compliant manufacturing?

A: Yes. Both the ELM 2-885 and ELM 5-23MM carry ROHS3 Compliant certification and are suitable for use in RoHS3 regulated manufacturing environments.

Q: What does Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 indicate?

A: MSL 1 (Unlimited) indicates that these components have unlimited shelf life and require no special moisture control measures during storage or handling, making them suitable for standard warehouse and production environments.
