ELM 2-9MM LED Standoff Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELM 2-9MM is a T1 LED standoff manufactured by Bivar Inc., designed for vertical mounting applications. This component features a black PVC construction with a 0.350" (8.89mm) length and accommodates T1 LED packages. The part is Active in product status and RoHS3 compliant, making it suitable for current production environments.

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters align with the main part specification, enabling direct replacement in applications where the core functional requirements remain unchanged.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the ELM 2-9MM are identified based on strict parameter alignment in the following categories:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• LED Type: T1 (physical package compatibility)
• Material: Black PVC (chemical and thermal properties)
• Mounting Orientation: Vertical (SR VERT)
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant (regulatory requirement)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)
• Product Status: Active (current manufacturing)

Length Tolerance Consideration: The ELM 2-9MM specifies 0.350" (8.89mm) length. Substitute parts ELM 2-350 and ELM 2-365 maintain the same material, LED type, and mounting orientation. ELM 2-365 introduces a length variation of 0.365" (9.27mm), representing a 0.015" (0.38mm) increase. This dimensional difference must be evaluated against specific application clearance requirements.

All identified substitutes maintain Active product status and full RoHS3 compliance, ensuring regulatory continuity.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

ELM 2-350 Selection: ELM 2-350 is a direct parametric equivalent to ELM 2-9MM. Both parts share identical length specifications (0.350" / 8.89mm), LED type (T1), material composition (black PVC), and mounting orientation (vertical). Both maintain Active product status and ROHS3 compliance. This part presents no dimensional or functional variance and is suitable for direct substitution in all applications where ELM 2-9MM is specified.

ELM 2-365 Selection: ELM 2-365 maintains all core parameters with the exception of length, which increases to 0.365" (9.27mm). This represents a 0.015" (0.38mm) dimensional increase. The part retains T1 LED compatibility, black PVC material, vertical mounting orientation, Active product status, and ROHS3 compliance. Selection of ELM 2-365 requires verification that the increased standoff height does not conflict with PCB clearance, component spacing, or assembly fixture constraints.

Compliance and Availability: All three parts maintain identical RoHS3 compliance status and MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), ensuring regulatory continuity and storage compatibility. ELM 2-365 demonstrates highest inventory availability (16125 units), followed by ELM 2-350 (3507 units) and ELM 2-9MM (926 units).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ELM 2-350 replace ELM 2-9MM without design modification?

A: Yes. ELM 2-350 is a parametric equivalent with identical length (0.350" / 8.89mm), LED type (T1), material (black PVC), and mounting orientation (vertical). No design modification is required.

Q: What is the key difference between ELM 2-9MM and ELM 2-365?

A: The primary difference is length. ELM 2-9MM measures 0.350" (8.89mm), while ELM 2-365 measures 0.365" (9.27mm), representing a 0.015" (0.38mm) increase. All other parameters—LED type, material, color, mounting orientation, and compliance ratings—remain identical.

Q: Can ELM 2-365 be used in place of ELM 2-9MM?

A: ELM 2-365 can be substituted only if the increased standoff height (0.365" vs. 0.350") does not violate application-specific clearance, spacing, or assembly requirements. The dimensional difference must be evaluated against PCB layout and component proximity constraints.

Q: Are all three parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. ELM 2-9MM, ELM 2-350, and ELM 2-365 are all RoHS3 compliant, ensuring regulatory alignment for current production environments.

Q: What is the MSL rating for these parts?

A: All three parts carry an MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions during storage or handling.

Q: Which part has the best inventory availability?

A: ELM 2-365 has the highest inventory level at 16125 units in stock, followed by ELM 2-350 at 3507 units, and ELM 2-9MM at 926 units.

Q: Are these parts suitable for vertical PCB mounting?

A: Yes. All three parts are designated for vertical mounting (SR VERT) and are designed for standard PCB assembly processes.

Q: Do these parts require special handling or storage conditions?

A: No. With an MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), these parts have no moisture sensitivity restrictions and require standard component storage conditions.
