ELM 3-105 LED Standoff: Equivalent and Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELM 3-105 is a T1 3/4 LED standoff manufactured by Bivar Inc., featuring a black PVC construction with a 0.105" (2.67mm) height specification. This component is classified as active product status and serves as a mounting solution for T1 3/4 LED assemblies. Substitute parts become necessary when specific height tolerances or inventory availability requires alternative standoff dimensions while maintaining functional compatibility within the same LED standoff family.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the ELM 3-105 are identified as parametric equivalents based on the following allowed electrical and mechanical parameters:

Key Substitution Parameters:

• LED Type: T1 3/4 (fixed across all substitutes)
• Material: Black PVC (fixed across all substitutes)
• Manufacturer: Bivar Inc. (fixed across all substitutes)
• Series: ELM 1 or ELM 3 (variant series within same product family)
• Length: 0.100" (2.54mm), 0.105" (2.67mm), or 0.110" (2.79mm) (dimensional variants)

The three qualified substitute parts (ELM 3-110, ELM 3-100, and ELM 1-100) share identical LED type, material, and manufacturer specifications. Substitution is determined exclusively by compatible length dimensions and series assignments that maintain form, fit, and functional characteristics within the same standoff family.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All listed substitute parts maintain active product status and ROHS3 compliance. Selection between ELM 3-105 and its substitutes depends on dimensional requirements specific to the application. The ELM 3-105 provides a mid-range height of 0.105" (2.67mm) relative to the alternative lengths available. All parts share identical RoHS certification and MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), confirming equivalent environmental performance across the family.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What determines whether ELM 1-100 can substitute for ELM 3-105? A: Both parts maintain identical LED type (T1 3/4), material (Black PVC), manufacturer (Bivar Inc.), and MSL rating. The primary difference is series designation (ELM 1 versus ELM 3) and length dimension (0.100" versus 0.105"). Substitution is valid when application design tolerances permit the 0.005" (0.127mm) shorter standoff height.

Q: Can ELM 3-100 and ELM 3-110 be used interchangeably with ELM 3-105? A: Both parts are direct substitutes within the ELM 3 series, sharing all electrical and compliance parameters. ELM 3-100 provides 0.005" shorter height, while ELM 3-110 provides 0.005" greater height. Selection is determined by specific application PCB layout and component clearance requirements.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant? A: Yes. All listed substitute parts—ELM 3-110, ELM 3-100, and ELM 1-100—maintain ROHS3 compliance and MSL rating 1 (Unlimited), matching the regulatory and environmental requirements of the ELM 3-105.

Q: What is the inventory status of substitute parts? A: ELM 3-100 provides the highest inventory availability at 13,503 pcs, followed by ELM 1-100 at 14,460 pcs, and ELM 3-110 at 3,253 pcs. The main part ELM 3-105 currently maintains 756 pcs in stock.
