ELM 3-115 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELM 3-115 is a T1 3/4 LED standoff manufactured by Bivar Inc., constructed from black PVC material with a length of 0.115" (2.92mm). This component is classified as Active product status and maintains full ROHS3 compliance with unlimited moisture sensitivity tolerance. LED standoffs serve as mechanical mounting and positioning elements for T1 3/4 form factor LEDs in vertical circuit board configurations. Alternative equivalent parts are necessary when specific length tolerances, inventory availability, or design revisions require dimensional flexibility within the T1 3/4 LED standoff category.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the ELM 3-115 is determined by mechanical compatibility across the following key parameters: LED form factor (T1 3/4), material composition (black PVC), and length tolerance within acceptable circuit board assembly margins. The substitute parts listed below maintain identical LED compatibility and material specifications while varying in nominal length dimension. All substitutes are supplied by the same manufacturer (Bivar Inc.) and carry equivalent or superior compliance certifications.

Qualifying Parameters for Substitution:

• LED Form Factor: T1 3/4 (fixed requirement)
• Material: Black PVC (fixed requirement)
• Length Tolerance: 0.110" to 0.120" (0.005" variance acceptable)
• Manufacturer: Bivar Inc. (original source)
• Product Status: Active (ongoing availability)

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All four substitute parts maintain Active product status with identical ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity ratings, confirming sustained manufacturer support and regulatory compliance alignment with the ELM 3-115. Length variations range from 0.110" to 0.120", accommodating dimensional flexibility for different circuit board design requirements. The ELM 3-110 provides the closest length match at 0.005" shorter than the primary part, suitable for applications with minimal vertical clearance constraints. The ELM 3-3MM and ELM 1-3MM options accommodate designs requiring slightly increased standoff height. Selection among these substitutes should prioritize inventory availability and specific circuit board assembly length specifications for your application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I substitute ELM 3-115 with any of the listed alternative parts? A: Yes. All substitute parts share identical LED form factor (T1 3/4), material composition (black PVC), and compliance certifications. Selection is determined by length tolerance requirements and available inventory for your assembly process.

Q: What is the maximum length variation acceptable between these substitute parts? A: The substitute parts span from 0.110" to 0.120", representing a 0.010" total tolerance band. Your circuit board design specifications will determine which length variants are compatible.

Q: Are all substitute parts supplied in the same Bag packaging format? A: Yes. All listed parts are packaged in bags, providing consistent handling and storage characteristics for production environments.

Q: What is the significance of the Series designation (ELM 3 versus ELM 1)? A: The Series designation indicates the base product family within the Bivar Inc. portfolio. While ELM 3-110, ELM 3-115, and ELM 3-3MM share the ELM 3 series classification, ELM 1-3MM belongs to the ELM 1 series. All four variants maintain functional equivalence for T1 3/4 LED standoff applications.

Q: Do these substitute parts carry different compliance certifications? A: No. All substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited), ensuring equivalent regulatory compliance and environmental tolerance characteristics.
