ELM 2-890 LED Standoff Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELM 2-890 is a T1 LED standoff manufactured by Bivar Inc., designed for vertical mounting applications with a 0.890" (22.61mm) 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 with the original specification, enabling direct replacement in applications where the primary part is unavailable or when inventory constraints necessitate alternative sourcing.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The ELM 5-23MM is identified as a parametric equivalent to the ELM 2-890 based on the following alignment criteria:

Matching Parameters:

• LED Type: Both utilize T1 LED configuration
• Material Composition: Both constructed from black PVC
• Lead Configuration: Both feature 2-lead vertical mount design
• RoHS Compliance: Both meet ROHS3 requirements
• Moisture Sensitivity: Both rated MSL 1 (Unlimited)
• Product Status: Both maintain Active status

Dimensional Consideration: The ELM 5-23MM length is 0.910" (23.11mm), representing a 0.020" (0.50mm) increase from the ELM 2-890 specification of 0.890" (22.61mm). This dimensional variance falls within acceptable tolerance ranges for LED standoff applications where minor height variations do not compromise functional performance or circuit board layout compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the ELM 2-890 and ELM 5-23MM maintain Active product status with identical ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 ratings, confirming suitability for current production and long-term storage applications. The parts share identical manufacturer origin, material composition, and electrical lead configuration.

Selection between these parts is determined by application-specific length requirements. The ELM 2-890 is specified for 0.890" (22.61mm) standoff height applications, while the ELM 5-23MM accommodates 0.910" (23.11mm) height specifications. Both parts satisfy identical regulatory and environmental compliance requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the ELM 5-23MM directly replace the ELM 2-890 in all applications?

A: The ELM 5-23MM functions as a substitute where the 0.020" (0.50mm) length increase does not conflict with circuit board layout, component clearance, or mechanical assembly constraints. Applications with strict height limitations require the original ELM 2-890 specification.

Q: Are there electrical performance differences between these parts?

A: Both parts are T1 LED standoffs with identical 2-lead configurations, material composition, and electrical characteristics. No electrical performance variation exists between the two parts.

Q: What is the significance of the MSL 1 rating?

A: MSL 1 (Moisture Sensitivity Level 1) indicates unlimited shelf life without moisture control requirements. Both parts can be stored and handled under standard environmental conditions without desiccant packaging or moisture barrier protection.

Q: Do both parts meet current regulatory requirements?

A: Both the ELM 2-890 and ELM 5-23MM are ROHS3 compliant and classified under identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (3926.90.9985) codes, confirming equivalent regulatory status for procurement and export purposes.

Q: What packaging format is used for these parts?

A: Both parts are supplied in Bag packaging format, suitable for standard component storage and distribution workflows.
