ELM 3-195 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELM 3-195 is a T1 3/4 LED standoff manufactured by Bivar Inc. in black PVC with a 0.195" (4.95mm) length specification. This component is classified as Active status and is ROHS3 compliant. Substitute parts are necessary when the primary part is unavailable from inventory, when alternative sourcing is required, or when design flexibility allows for minor dimensional variations within the allowable tolerance range of the standoff height specification.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the ELM 3-195 are determined by the following critical parameters:

• LED Type: T1 3/4 form factor (non-negotiable)
• Material & Color: Black PVC construction
• Length Tolerance: Standoff height between 0.195" (4.95mm) and 0.201" (5.10mm)
• Compliance: ROHS3 compliant status
• Moisture Sensitivity: MSL 1 or Not Applicable

The substitute parts listed below maintain compatibility with these core parameters. The length variations of 0.005" to 0.006" (0.15mm to 0.25mm) between alternatives fall within typical mechanical tolerance ranges for LED standoff applications.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The ELM 3-195, ELM 1-200, and 0035.9206 are all active-status components with ROHS3 compliance. Selection between these parts should be based on:

1. Primary Selection: ELM 3-195 (Bivar Inc.) for exact 0.195" (4.95mm) length specification
2. Secondary Selection: ELM 1-200 (Bivar Inc.) for functional equivalence with 0.005" additional height and identical PVC material composition
3. Tertiary Selection: 0035.9206 (SCHURTER Inc.) for cross-manufacturer equivalence, supporting T1 3/4 LED standoff applications with 0.201" length specification

All three parts maintain active production status and full RoHS3 compliance, ensuring long-term component availability and regulatory conformance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ELM 1-200 directly replace ELM 3-195? A: ELM 1-200 is a parametric equivalent with identical LED type (T1 3/4), material (black PVC), and compliance status. The length difference is 0.005" (0.13mm), which falls within standard mechanical tolerance for LED standoff applications. Compatibility depends on specific board layout and mechanical constraints.

Q: What is the difference between Bivar and SCHURTER alternatives? A: Both manufacturers produce T1 3/4 LED standoffs in black with equivalent compliance ratings. The primary difference is material specification: Bivar parts specify PVC, while SCHURTER lists material as unspecified. Length specifications differ by 0.006" maximum between all three parts.

Q: Are all three parts ROHS3 compliant? A: Yes. ELM 3-195 and ELM 1-200 are explicitly ROHS3 compliant. 0035.9206 is also ROHS3 compliant and carries REACH Unaffected status.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity implication for substitution? A: ELM 3-195 and ELM 1-200 are rated MSL 1 (Unlimited moisture sensitivity level). The SCHURTER 0035.9206 carries Not Applicable MSL status. Both designations indicate minimal moisture sensitivity concern for standard PCB assembly environments.

Q: Can I use these parts interchangeably in my design? A: Interchangeability is determined by mechanical tolerance requirements for standoff height. The 0.006" cumulative variance between shortest (0.195") and longest (0.201") parts must be evaluated against your specific board-to-component clearance requirements.
