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.

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.
