ELM 2-930 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELM 2-930 is a T1 LED standoff manufactured by Bivar Inc., constructed from black PVC material with a height of 0.930" (23.62mm) and designed for 3MM LED mounting with 2-lead configuration. This part is currently in active production status and is ROHS3 compliant. Substitute parts may be required due to inventory constraints, supply chain disruptions, or specific application requirements that permit variations within defined electrical and mechanical parameters.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The ELM 5-23MM is identified as a parametric equivalent to the ELM 2-930 based on the following critical substitution criteria:

• LED Type Compatibility: Both parts accommodate T1 LED packages with 3MM form factor and 2-lead configuration
• Material Specification: Both utilize black PVC construction
• Height Tolerance: The ELM 5-23MM measures 0.910" (23.11mm), representing a 0.020" (0.51mm) variation from the primary part's 0.930" (23.62mm) specification, which remains within typical mechanical tolerance ranges for LED standoff applications
• Compliance Alignment: Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 (Unlimited) classification
• Lead Configuration: Both parts feature identical 2-lead design suitable for standard LED mounting

The substitution relationship is based strictly on mechanical fit, material composition, and regulatory compliance parameters that define functional equivalence in LED standoff applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the ELM 2-930 and ELM 5-23MM are active production parts from Bivar Inc. with identical ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 classifications. The primary distinction is the length specification: the ELM 2-930 at 0.930" (23.62mm) versus the ELM 5-23MM at 0.910" (23.11mm). This 0.020" (0.51mm) height difference should be evaluated against specific application mounting requirements and clearance constraints. Both parts are functionally equivalent from a material, electrical, and regulatory compliance standpoint. Selection between these parts should be based on available inventory levels and the mechanical tolerance requirements of the target application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the ELM 5-23MM be used as a direct replacement for the ELM 2-930?

A: The ELM 5-23MM is a parametric equivalent with identical material, LED type, and compliance specifications. The 0.020" (0.51mm) height variation must be evaluated against the specific application's mounting and clearance tolerances to confirm mechanical compatibility.

Q: What are the critical parameters that define substitution eligibility between these parts?

A: Substitution eligibility is determined by: LED type (T1), material composition (PVC), color specification (black), 2-lead configuration, and regulatory compliance status (ROHS3 and MSL 1). The length dimension represents a minor variation that may or may not impact system-level requirements.

Q: Are these parts available as dual-sourced or interchangeable components?

A: Both parts are manufactured by Bivar Inc. and maintain active production status. Inventory availability differs significantly: the ELM 2-930 has 791 pieces in stock while the ELM 5-23MM has 7087 pieces available.

Q: What packaging is provided for both parts?

A: Both the ELM 2-930 and ELM 5-23MM are supplied in bag packaging suitable for standard component handling and storage.

Q: Are there any restrictions on using these parts in ROHS3-compliant applications?

A: Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 (Unlimited) ratings, confirming suitability for restricted substance control requirements and unlimited moisture exposure conditions without special storage requirements.
