ELM 2-935 LED Standoff Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELM 2-935 is a T1 LED standoff manufactured by Bivar Inc., designed for vertical mounting applications with a 0.935" (23.75mm) 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 2-935 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• LED Type: T1 (fixed requirement)
• Material: Black PVC (fixed requirement)
• LED Configuration: 3MM 2-Lead (fixed requirement)
• Mounting Style: Vertical (fixed requirement)
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant (fixed requirement)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) (fixed requirement)

Allowable Variance:

• Length: Mechanical tolerance within 0.025" (0.635mm) of nominal 0.935" (23.75mm)

The ELM 5-23MM qualifies as a parametric equivalent based on matching all primary criteria. The length specification of 0.910" (23.11mm) represents a 0.025" (0.635mm) variance from the main part, which falls within acceptable mechanical tolerance for vertical LED standoff applications where precise height matching is not a critical design constraint.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

ELM 2-935 Primary Selection: Select the ELM 2-935 when the exact length specification of 0.935" (23.75mm) is required by design documentation or when inventory availability supports immediate procurement.

ELM 5-23MM Substitute Selection: The ELM 5-23MM is functionally and mechanically equivalent to the ELM 2-935 for applications where a 0.025" (0.635mm) reduction in standoff length is acceptable. Both parts maintain identical electrical performance, material composition, and regulatory compliance. Selection of the substitute part is appropriate when supply chain considerations, lead time optimization, or inventory management necessitate an alternative source while maintaining design integrity.

Both parts carry Active product status and ROHS3 compliance certification, confirming suitability for current production and regulatory requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the ELM 5-23MM be used as a direct replacement for the ELM 2-935?

A: The ELM 5-23MM is a parametric equivalent with a 0.025" (0.635mm) shorter length. Direct substitution is permissible in applications where this dimensional variance does not impact circuit board layout, component clearance, or functional performance. Design verification is required if height tolerance is a critical specification.

Q: What are the key parameters that determine substitution eligibility?

A: Substitution eligibility is determined by: LED Type (T1), Material (Black PVC), LED Configuration (3MM 2-Lead), Mounting Style (Vertical), RoHS Compliance (ROHS3), and Moisture Sensitivity Level (1). Length variance within 0.025" is acceptable for these standoff applications.

Q: Are both parts available in the same packaging format?

A: Yes. Both the ELM 2-935 and ELM 5-23MM are supplied in Bag packaging, ensuring consistent handling and storage requirements.

Q: Do both parts meet the same regulatory compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and carry Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited), confirming equivalent regulatory status and environmental qualification.

Q: What is the inventory status for each part?

A: The ELM 2-935 has 1096 pieces in stock. The ELM 5-23MM has 7087 pieces in stock. Both are classified as New Original inventory.
