ELM 2-925 LED Standoff Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELM 2-925 is a T1 LED standoff manufactured by Bivar Inc., designed for vertical mounting applications with a 0.925" (23.50mm) 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 and mechanical compatibility within specified parameter tolerances.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the ELM 2-925 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

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

Allowable Variance:

• Length tolerance: Components with lengths within the 23.11mm to 23.50mm range are classified as parametric equivalents, as this variance falls within standard mechanical tolerance for standoff applications.

The ELM 5-23MM meets all mandatory matching parameters and falls within the allowable length variance, qualifying it as a direct parametric equivalent for the ELM 2-925.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

ELM 5-23MM as Primary Substitute:

The ELM 5-23MM is qualified as a direct parametric equivalent to the ELM 2-925 based on alignment of all mandatory electrical and mechanical parameters. Both components are manufactured by Bivar Inc., maintain Active product status, and carry ROHS3 compliance certification. The length differential of 0.39mm (0.925" versus 0.910") is within standard mechanical tolerance for LED standoff applications and does not affect functional performance in vertical mounting configurations.

Selection of the ELM 5-23MM is appropriate when:

• ELM 2-925 inventory is unavailable or subject to extended lead times
• Design specifications permit the 0.39mm length variance
• Compliance requirements remain unchanged (ROHS3, MSL 1)
• T1 LED vertical standoff functionality is the primary design requirement

Both parts share identical electrical characteristics, material composition, and regulatory compliance status, supporting direct substitution in production environments.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What is the primary difference between ELM 2-925 and ELM 5-23MM?

A: The parts belong to different product series (ELM 2 versus ELM 5) and have a length variance of 0.39mm (23.50mm versus 23.11mm). All other parameters, including LED type, material, configuration, and compliance certifications, are identical.

Q: Is the 0.39mm length difference significant for my application?

A: The length variance falls within standard mechanical tolerance for T1 LED standoff applications. Compatibility depends on your specific mechanical design constraints. If your PCB layout or enclosure design requires the exact 0.925" dimension, the ELM 5-23MM may not be suitable.

Q: Can I use ELM 5-23MM as a direct replacement for ELM 2-925 in production?

A: Yes, provided your design specifications permit the 0.39mm length variance. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant, Active status, and manufactured by Bivar Inc. with identical electrical and material properties.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences between these parts?

A: No. Both components are ROHS3 compliant, carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, and share identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications.

Q: What packaging format is used for both parts?

A: Both ELM 2-925 and ELM 5-23MM are supplied in Bag packaging format.

Q: If neither part is available, are there other substitutes?

A: Based on the provided input parameters, only ELM 5-23MM is listed as a qualified substitute for ELM 2-925. Additional alternatives would require evaluation against the mandatory matching parameters: T1 LED type, black PVC material, 3MM 2-lead configuration, vertical mounting, ROHS3 compliance, and MSL 1 rating.
