Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the ELM 2-905 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• Manufacturer: Bivar Inc.
• LED Type: T1
• Material: Black PVC
• Configuration: Vertical Mount, 3MM, 2-Lead
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

The ELM 5-23MM qualifies as a parametric equivalent based on matching all primary substitution criteria. Length variation between 0.905" (22.99mm) and 0.910" (23.11mm) represents a 0.005" (0.12mm) difference, which falls within acceptable mechanical tolerance for LED standoff applications where dimensional precision at this scale does not affect functional performance or mounting compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the ELM 2-905 and ELM 5-23MM maintain Active product status with ROHS3 compliance and identical Moisture Sensitivity Level ratings. Selection between these parts should be based on:

Availability: ELM 5-23MM currently maintains higher inventory levels (7087 Pcs) compared to ELM 2-905 (975 Pcs), making it the preferred choice for high-volume procurement scenarios.

Dimensional Consideration: The 0.005" (0.12mm) length difference between parts is within standard mechanical tolerances for LED standoff applications and does not introduce functional incompatibility in vertical mounting configurations.

Compliance Equivalence: Both parts satisfy identical regulatory requirements (ROHS3, MSL 1, ECCN EAR99, HTSUS 3926.90.9985), ensuring no compliance-related restrictions on substitution.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ELM 5-23MM be used as a direct replacement for ELM 2-905?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical LED type (T1), material (Black PVC), configuration (Vertical Mount, 3MM, 2-Lead), and compliance ratings (ROHS3, MSL 1). The length difference of 0.005" (0.12mm) is within acceptable mechanical tolerance for this product category.

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

A: The ELM 2-905 measures 0.905" (22.99mm) while the ELM 5-23MM measures 0.910" (23.11mm). This 0.005" (0.12mm) variation does not affect electrical performance or standard mounting compatibility in vertical LED standoff applications.

Q: Are both parts subject to the same regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. Both the ELM 2-905 and ELM 5-23MM carry identical certifications: ROHS3 compliance, Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited), ECCN EAR99, and HTSUS code 3926.90.9985.

Q: What packaging format is used for these parts?

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

Q: Are there any restrictions on substituting between these parts?

A: No restrictions exist based on the provided electrical and mechanical parameters. Both parts are manufactured by Bivar Inc. and maintain identical functional specifications for T1 LED standoff applications.
