Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution between ELM 3-080 and ELM 1-080 is determined by the following critical parameters that must remain constant:

• LED Type: T1 3/4 (identical across both parts)
• Length: 0.080" (2.03mm) (identical across both parts)
• Material: Black PVC (identical across both parts)
• Mounting Orientation: Vertical (identical across both parts)
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant (identical across both parts)
• MSL Rating: 1 (Unlimited) (identical across both parts)

Both parts maintain identical mechanical dimensions, material composition, and environmental compliance ratings. The ELM 1-080 substitute part meets all functional requirements for direct replacement in applications requiring the ELM 3-080 specification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both ELM 3-080 and ELM 1-080 parts are active products manufactured by Bivar Inc. and carry identical ROHS3 compliance certifications. The ELM 1-080 substitute maintains full compatibility with applications designed for the ELM 3-080, with substantially larger inventory availability (122,913 units versus 1,123 units). Selection between these parts should prioritize procurement lead times and inventory availability without compromising compliance or functional requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are ELM 3-080 and ELM 1-080 mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical LED type (T1 3/4), length (0.080"/2.03mm), material (black PVC), and mounting orientation (vertical), making them mechanically interchangeable in all applications.

Q: Do both parts meet the same environmental and regulatory standards?

A: Yes. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and MSL rating 1 (Unlimited), ensuring identical environmental qualification and handling requirements.

Q: What is the primary difference between these part numbers?

A: The parts belong to different product series (ELM 3 versus ELM 1) within Bivar Inc.'s LED standoff product line. All functional and mechanical parameters remain identical.

Q: Can I use ELM 1-080 as a direct replacement for ELM 3-080 in production?

A: Yes. The parts are functionally equivalent across all provided specifications and certifications, supporting direct replacement without design modification.

Q: Why would I choose one part over the other?

A: Selection should be based on procurement availability and lead times. The ELM 1-080 offers significantly higher inventory availability.
