ELM 3-10MM LED Standoff Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELM 3-10MM is a T1 3/4 LED standoff manufactured by Bivar Inc., designed for vertical mounting applications. This component features a black PVC construction with a 0.393" (10.00mm) length and is part of the ELM 3 series. The part maintains Active product status and is RoHS3 compliant with MSL Level 1 rating, indicating unlimited moisture sensitivity tolerance. Substitute parts are identified when design requirements permit variation in standoff length while maintaining core functional parameters including LED type, material composition, color, and mounting orientation.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the ELM 3-10MM are qualified based on the following criteria:

Fixed Parameters (Non-Substitutable):

• LED Type: T1 3/4 (all substitutes maintain this specification)
• Material: Black PVC (all substitutes maintain this specification)
• Mounting Orientation: Vertical (SR VERT) (all substitutes maintain this specification)
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant (all substitutes maintain this specification)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) (all substitutes maintain this specification)

Variable Parameters (Substitution Basis):

• Length: Substitutes range from 0.375" (9.53mm) to 0.390" (9.91mm), representing a tolerance band of ±0.018" from the main part specification

The ELM 3-10MM qualifies three substitute parts: ELM 1-10MM, ELM 1-385, and ELM 3-375. These substitutes are applicable in applications where the exact standoff height can accommodate minor dimensional variation within the specified tolerance range.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All substitute parts maintain Active product status and ROHS3 compliance, qualifying them for applications with equivalent environmental and regulatory requirements. Selection among ELM 3-10MM and its substitutes is determined by standoff height requirements within the specified tolerance band.

ELM 1-10MM provides the closest dimensional match at 0.390" (9.91mm), representing a 0.003" (0.09mm) reduction from the main part specification.

ELM 1-385 offers a 0.008" (0.22mm) reduction in standoff height at 0.385" (9.78mm).

ELM 3-375 provides the maximum dimensional reduction at 0.375" (9.53mm), representing an 0.018" (0.47mm) reduction from the main part specification.

All substitutes maintain identical LED type (T1 3/4), material composition (Black PVC), mounting orientation (Vertical), and compliance certifications (ROHS3, MSL Level 1). Component selection is contingent upon PCB layout and LED positioning requirements that accommodate the specified length variation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What determines whether ELM 1-10MM, ELM 1-385, or ELM 3-375 can substitute for ELM 3-10MM?

A: Substitution is determined by standoff height tolerance requirements. All substitute parts maintain identical LED type (T1 3/4), material (Black PVC), mounting orientation (Vertical), and compliance specifications (ROHS3, MSL Level 1). The substitutes differ only in length, ranging from 0.375" to 0.390", compared to the main part's 0.393" specification.

Q: Are there differences in packaging between the main part and substitutes?

A: All parts are supplied in Bag packaging format. Inventory quantities vary: ELM 3-10MM (869 Pcs), ELM 1-10MM (947 Pcs), ELM 1-385 (750 Pcs), and ELM 3-375 (8835 Pcs).

Q: Can ELM 3-375 be used in applications requiring the full 0.393" standoff height?

A: No. ELM 3-375 provides 0.375" height, representing an 0.018" reduction. Substitution is valid only when design specifications permit this dimensional variation.

Q: Do all substitute parts maintain the same RoHS and moisture sensitivity ratings?

A: Yes. All parts are ROHS3 compliant with Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited), indicating identical environmental compliance and storage requirements.

Q: What is the dimensional tolerance range for substitution?

A: Substitute parts range from 0.375" to 0.390" in length, representing a tolerance band of ±0.018" from the main part's 0.393" specification.
