ELM 3-225 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELM 3-225 is a T1 3/4 LED standoff manufactured by Bivar Inc., designed for vertical mounting applications with a 0.225" (5.72mm) height specification. This product is actively manufactured and is ROHS3 compliant. Finding equivalent and substitute parts becomes necessary when the primary part is unavailable, when alternative material compositions better suit specific manufacturing environments, or when dimensional tolerances require minor adjustments within allowable parameters.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the ELM 3-225 is determined by strict adherence to the following key parameters: LED type (T1 3/4), color (Black), and material composition (PVC or Nylon alternatives). The critical substitution threshold is the height dimension, with acceptable tolerance ranging from 0.220" to 0.235" (5.59mm to 5.97mm). Parts falling within this dimensional range maintain functional compatibility in standard LED mounting applications.

The substitute parts identified are:

• 909-235 BK: T1 3/4 LED standoff with Nylon material, 0.235" height
• ELM 1-220: T1 3/4 LED standoff with PVC material, 0.220" height
• ELM 3-235: T1 3/4 LED standoff with PVC material, 0.235" height

All substitute parts match the LED type, color specification, and regulatory compliance requirements of the main part.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All identified substitute parts are actively manufactured by Bivar Inc. and maintain ROHS3 compliance identical to the primary part. Selection between the ELM 3-225 and available substitutes depends on height tolerance requirements and material preference.

The ELM 3-225 and ELM 3-235 are both constructed from PVC material and share the same product series. The ELM 1-220 differs in series designation but maintains PVC construction. The 909-235 BK introduces a Nylon composition alternative, which may be selected when material-specific performance characteristics are required or when inventory constraints make this part preferable.

Height variations across substitutes (0.220" to 0.235") should be evaluated against circuit board layout constraints and component clearance specifications. All parts carry the same MSL rating and maintain regulatory compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What determines if a part can substitute for the ELM 3-225? A: Substitute parts must share the T1 3/4 LED type, Black color, and maintain ROHS3 compliance. Height dimensions must fall within the 0.220" to 0.235" range to ensure mechanical compatibility in standard mounting applications.

Q: How do the material differences affect substitution? A: The ELM 3-225 is constructed from PVC. Substitutes include both PVC variants (ELM 1-220, ELM 3-235) and a Nylon alternative (909-235 BK). Material selection should be based on specific environmental or processing requirements; all materials provide equivalent electrical performance for standard LED mounting.

Q: What is the height tolerance range for substitution? A: Acceptable substitute heights range from 0.220" (5.59mm) to 0.235" (5.97mm). The ELM 3-225 nominal height of 0.225" (5.72mm) falls within this range, as do all listed substitutes.

Q: Are all substitute parts currently in production? A: Yes, all substitute parts maintain Active product status, indicating current manufacture by Bivar Inc.

Q: Does substitution affect compliance certifications? A: All parts are ROHS3 compliant with identical MSL ratings of 1 (Unlimited). Compliance status remains consistent across all substitutes.
