ELM 3-210 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELM 3-210 is a T1 3/4 LED standoff manufactured by Bivar Inc., designed for vertical mounting applications with a 0.210" (5.33mm) length specification. This component is constructed from black PVC material and is classified as Active product status. Substitute parts become necessary when the primary component experiences supply constraints, extended lead times, or when design flexibility permits accommodation of parametrically equivalent alternatives that maintain functional compatibility within specified tolerance ranges.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the ELM 3-210 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Primary Compatibility Criteria:

• LED Type: T1 3/4 (mandatory match)
• Color: Black (mandatory match)
• Material: PVC (mandatory match)
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant (mandatory match)
• Length Tolerance: 0.200" to 0.210" (5.08mm to 5.33mm)

The substitute parts ELM 1-200 and 0035.9206 satisfy these criteria. Both components accommodate T1 3/4 LED types in black color with lengths within the acceptable tolerance band. All candidates maintain ROHS3 compliance and are classified as Active or equivalent status products.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

ELM 1-200 (Bivar Inc.): This substitute maintains identical manufacturer sourcing, material composition (PVC), and MSL classification. The length differential of 0.010" (0.25mm) represents a 4.7% reduction from the main part specification. Selection is appropriate where mechanical tolerance stack-up permits this dimensional variance and where continuity with Bivar Inc. supply chain is advantageous.

0035.9206 (SCHURTER Inc.): This substitute provides cross-manufacturer equivalency with length specification of 0.201" (5.10mm), representing a 0.009" (0.23mm) reduction from the main part. ROHS3 compliance and Active product status are confirmed. Material specification is not provided in available documentation. Selection is appropriate for applications where multi-source supply strategy is required and where the dimensional tolerance is acceptable.

Both substitutes maintain full ROHS3 compliance and Active product status, supporting long-term availability and regulatory continuity.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What is the maximum allowable length variance between ELM 3-210 and its substitutes?

A: The substitute parts operate within a 0.009" to 0.010" length tolerance band relative to the main part specification. ELM 1-200 measures 0.200" and 0035.9206 measures 0.201", compared to the main part at 0.210". This variance must be evaluated against specific mechanical mounting requirements and PCB layout constraints.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. ELM 3-210, ELM 1-200, and 0035.9206 are all ROHS3 Compliant, ensuring regulatory alignment for applications subject to RoHS directives.

Q: Can ELM 1-200 and 0035.9206 be used interchangeably with ELM 3-210?

A: Both parts satisfy the core compatibility parameters: T1 3/4 LED type, black color, and ROHS3 compliance. Interchangeability depends on whether the specific application tolerates the length differential. ELM 1-200 maintains identical PVC material and MSL classification as the main part. 0035.9206 provides cross-manufacturer sourcing with comparable dimensional specification.

Q: What is the Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) for 0035.9206?

A: The MSL for 0035.9206 is listed as Not Applicable, indicating this parameter does not apply to this component. ELM 3-210 and ELM 1-200 both carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) classification.

Q: Are there inventory considerations when selecting substitutes?

A: Current inventory levels are: ELM 3-210 (982 Pcs), ELM 1-200 (749 Pcs), and 0035.9206 (3031 Pcs). Inventory status should be confirmed at time of procurement, as levels are subject to change.
