ELM 3-315 LED Standoff Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELM 3-315 is a T1 3/4 LED standoff manufactured by Bivar Inc., designed for vertical mounting applications with a 0.315" (8.00mm) length. This component features a black PVC construction and is classified as an active product with full RoHS3 compliance. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent mechanical and electrical parameters are maintained across the ELM series, enabling direct replacement in applications where dimensional or performance specifications allow for alternative configurations.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the ELM 3-315 are identified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional equivalency:

Primary Matching Criteria:

• LED Type: T1 3/4 (maintained across all substitutes)
• Material: Black PVC (maintained across all substitutes)
• Mounting Style: Vertical (maintained across all substitutes)
• Manufacturer: Bivar Inc. (maintained across all substitutes)
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant (maintained across all substitutes)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) (maintained across all substitutes)

Variable Parameter:

• Length: The ELM 3-315 operates at 0.315" (8.00mm), while substitute parts operate at 0.300" (7.62mm)

The ELM 3-300 and ELM 1-300 are classified as parametric equivalents due to identical LED type, material composition, mounting configuration, and compliance certifications. Length variation of 0.015" (0.38mm) represents the primary dimensional difference between the main part and substitutes.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

ELM 3-300 Selection Criteria: The ELM 3-300 maintains identical series designation (ELM 3) and shares all core specifications with the ELM 3-315 except for a 0.015" (0.38mm) reduction in length. This part is suitable for applications where the shorter standoff height accommodates design constraints. Both parts carry ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating, ensuring equivalent environmental performance.

ELM 1-300 Selection Criteria: The ELM 1-300 operates within the ELM 1 series and provides the same LED type, material, and mounting configuration as the ELM 3-315. The series change reflects a different base product number (ELM1-3 versus ELM3-3) while maintaining functional equivalency. This part is applicable in applications where series interchangeability is permitted by design specifications. ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating are maintained.

Active Product Status: All three parts maintain active product status, ensuring continued availability and manufacturing support from Bivar Inc.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What is the primary difference between ELM 3-315 and ELM 3-300? A: The ELM 3-300 features a 0.300" (7.62mm) length compared to the ELM 3-315's 0.315" (8.00mm) length. Both parts share identical LED type (T1 3/4), material (Black PVC), mounting style (vertical), and compliance certifications.

Q: Can ELM 1-300 replace ELM 3-315 in all applications? A: ELM 1-300 shares the same LED type, material, color, and mounting configuration as ELM 3-315. The series designation change (ELM 1 versus ELM 3) reflects different base product numbers. Substitution is valid where design specifications permit series interchangeability and the 0.300" (7.62mm) length is acceptable.

Q: Are all three parts RoHS3 compliant? A: Yes. ELM 3-315, ELM 3-300, and ELM 1-300 all carry ROHS3 compliance certification.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity rating for these parts? A: All three parts carry Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions during storage or handling.

Q: How does the 0.015" length difference affect mechanical fit? A: The length difference between 0.315" (8.00mm) and 0.300" (7.62mm) represents a 0.015" (0.38mm) reduction. This dimensional change must be evaluated against specific application requirements, including PCB standoff height, component clearance, and assembly constraints.

Q: Are packaging specifications identical across all three parts? A: Yes. ELM 3-315, ELM 3-300, and ELM 1-300 are all supplied in bag packaging.
