Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The ELM 5-23MM is identified as a parametric equivalent based on the following key determining parameters:

  • LED Type: Both parts use T1 LED configuration
  • Material: Both constructed from PVC
  • Color: Both feature black finish
  • Length Tolerance: ELM 2-920 at 0.920" (23.37mm) and ELM 5-23MM at 0.910" (23.11mm) represent mechanical equivalent lengths within acceptable tolerance for T1 LED standoff applications
  • RoHS Compliance: Both meet ROHS3 Compliant standards
  • Moisture Sensitivity: Both rated at MSL 1 (Unlimited)
  • HTSUS Code: Both classified under 3926.90.9985

These parameters define the substitution criteria for this product category.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the ELM 2-920 and ELM 5-23MM are active products with ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 ratings, indicating equivalent regulatory and environmental qualification levels. The ELM 5-23MM is available in higher inventory quantities (7087 Pcs vs. 975 Pcs), providing extended supply chain availability. Selection between these parts should be based on design requirements for the specific length tolerance (0.920" versus 0.910") and series compatibility within the PCB or mechanical assembly.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What determines if the ELM 5-23MM can substitute for the ELM 2-920? A: Substitution is based on matching LED type (T1), material (PVC), color (Black), length tolerance (0.920" and 0.910" are mechanically equivalent), and compliance certifications (ROHS3, MSL 1).

Q: What is the length difference between these parts? A: The ELM 2-920 measures 0.920" (23.37mm) while the ELM 5-23MM measures 0.910" (23.11mm), representing a 0.010" (0.26mm) difference. Both lengths are functionally equivalent for T1 LED standoff applications.

Q: Are both parts compliant with the same standards? A: Yes. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and rated at Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited), providing equivalent regulatory and environmental qualification.

Q: Can I use either part interchangeably in my assembly? A: Selection depends on your specific mechanical design tolerance requirements for the 0.920" versus 0.910" length specification and series compatibility within your assembly.
