ELM 3-345 LED Standoff Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELM 3-345 is a T1 3/4 LED standoff manufactured by Bivar Inc., designed for vertical mounting applications. This component features a black PVC construction with a 0.345" (8.76mm) length specification. The part maintains Active product status and is RoHS3 compliant, making it suitable for current production environments. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters align with application requirements, enabling component sourcing flexibility while maintaining design integrity.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the ELM 3-345 are qualified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional equivalence:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

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

Secondary Variation Parameter:

• Length: Tolerance range 0.335" to 0.350" (8.51mm to 8.89mm)

The ELM 3-345 at 0.345" (8.76mm) falls within the qualified length range of substitute parts. Substitutes ELM 1-350 and ELM 3-335 maintain all critical electrical and mechanical parameters while varying only in length specification within acceptable tolerance boundaries for this product category.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

ELM 1-350 Substitution: The ELM 1-350 maintains all critical parameters with a length of 0.350" (8.89mm), representing a +0.005" (0.13mm) variance from the ELM 3-345. This part is Active status and RoHS3 compliant. Selection is appropriate where the marginal length increase does not conflict with mechanical clearance constraints.

ELM 3-335 Substitution: The ELM 3-335 maintains all critical parameters with a length of 0.335" (8.51mm), representing a -0.010" (0.25mm) variance from the ELM 3-345. This part is Active status and RoHS3 compliant. Selection is appropriate where the reduced length accommodates space-constrained applications.

Both substitute parts carry identical compliance certifications (ROHS3, MSL 1) and maintain the same electrical and mechanical characteristics as the primary part, differing only in length specification within the qualified tolerance range for this product category.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What determines if a part can substitute for the ELM 3-345?

A: Substitution is determined by matching the following parameters: LED type (T1 3/4), material (Black PVC), mounting style (vertical), color (Black), RoHS compliance status (ROHS3), and moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1). Length may vary within the 0.335" to 0.350" range.

Q: How do the substitute parts differ from the ELM 3-345?

A: ELM 1-350 and ELM 3-335 differ only in length specification. ELM 1-350 measures 0.350" (8.89mm), while ELM 3-335 measures 0.335" (8.51mm), compared to the ELM 3-345 at 0.345" (8.76mm). All other electrical and mechanical parameters remain identical.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. The ELM 3-345 and both substitute parts (ELM 1-350 and ELM 3-335) are RoHS3 compliant with Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited).

Q: What is the length tolerance range for substitution?

A: Qualified substitutes operate within a length range of 0.335" (8.51mm) to 0.350" (8.89mm). The primary part ELM 3-345 at 0.345" (8.76mm) falls within this range.

Q: Can I use ELM 1-350 or ELM 3-335 in applications with tight vertical clearance?

A: Length variation must be evaluated against specific mechanical constraints. ELM 3-335 (0.335") provides reduced height, while ELM 1-350 (0.350") provides increased height. Verify clearance requirements before selection.

Q: Are all parts packaged identically?

A: Yes. The ELM 3-345, ELM 1-350, and ELM 3-335 are all supplied in Bag packaging.
