ELM 3-075 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELM 3-075 is a T1 3/4 LED standoff manufactured by Bivar Inc., featuring a black PVC construction with a 0.075" (1.91mm) height. This component is used as a mechanical mounting and alignment element for LED assemblies in vertical orientation. The product is classified as Active with full RoHS3 compliance. Identification of equivalent and substitute parts becomes necessary when primary inventory is unavailable, when supply chain consolidation is required, or when design flexibility allows for compatible alternatives within the same functional category.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The ELM 1-075 is identified as a parametric equivalent for the ELM 3-075. Substitution eligibility is determined by the following critical parameters:

Matching Parameters (Required for Substitution):

• LED Type: T1 3/4
• Height: 0.075" (1.91mm)
• Material: Black PVC
• Orientation: Vertical
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

Both parts meet these dimensional and material specifications identically. The primary difference lies in the series classification (ELM 3 versus ELM 1), which reflects different design generations within the same product family but maintains full functional compatibility for applications requiring these specific mechanical and electrical characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the ELM 3-075 and ELM 1-075 maintain Active product status, ensuring ongoing manufacturer support and supply availability. Both parts carry identical RoHS3 compliance certification, permitting unrestricted use in regulated industries and export markets. The MSL 1 rating for both components indicates unlimited shelf life and moisture resistance, eliminating storage or environmental concerns during assembly operations.

Selection between these parts may be based on inventory availability, logistics optimization, or existing bill-of-materials standardization. The series difference (ELM 3 versus ELM 1) does not impose functional restrictions on substitution when the critical parameters—dimensions, material, and certification—remain matched.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the ELM 1-075 be used as a direct replacement for the ELM 3-075?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical critical specifications: T1 3/4 LED type, 0.075" (1.91mm) height, black PVC material, vertical orientation, RoHS3 compliance, and MSL 1 rating. The series designation difference does not impact functional compatibility or interchangeability in the application.

Q: What is the significance of the series difference between ELM 3 and ELM 1?

A: The series classification reflects different design generations within the Bivar Inc. product family. Both series maintain compliance with all relevant specifications and certifications. The series change does not introduce functional, dimensional, or material property variations affecting substitution eligibility.

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

A: No. Both parts carry identical RoHS3 compliance, identical MSL 1 ratings, identical ECCN classifications, and identical HTSUS codes. They present no compliance barriers to substitution in any regulated application or supply chain context.

Q: What packaging format should be expected for the ELM 1-075?

A: The ELM 1-075 is supplied in Bag packaging, identical to the ELM 3-075. No modifications to receiving, storage, or handling procedures are required.

Q: Are dimensional tolerances identical between these parts?

A: Both parts specify 0.075" (1.91mm) height. No dimensional variation data is provided in the component specifications. For tolerance-critical applications, contact the manufacturer for detailed engineering drawings.
