ELM 3-350 LED Standoff Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELM 3-350 is a T1 3/4 LED standoff manufactured by Bivar Inc., designed for vertical mounting applications with a 0.350" (8.89mm) length. This component features a black PVC construction and is classified as an active product with full ROHS3 compliance. Substitute parts become necessary when inventory constraints occur, when alternative series options are preferred, or when slight dimensional variations are acceptable within application tolerances.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the ELM 3-350 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• LED Type: T1 3/4 (must match exactly)
• Material: PVC (must match exactly)
• Color: Black (must match exactly)
• Mounting Style: Vertical (must match exactly)
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant (must match or exceed)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) (must match)

Secondary Substitution Criteria:

• Length: 0.350" (8.89mm) preferred; minor variations acceptable within application-specific tolerances
• Series: ELM 1 and ELM 3 series both qualify as substitutes

The two identified substitutes meet all primary criteria. ELM 1-350 maintains identical length specifications. ELM 3-335 operates within the same series but with a reduced length of 0.335" (8.51mm), suitable for applications where slightly shorter standoff height is acceptable.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

ELM 1-350 Selection: Choose ELM 1-350 when cross-series substitution is acceptable and identical length specifications are required. This part maintains all critical parameters including the 0.350" (8.89mm) length and carries active product status with full ROHS3 compliance. Higher inventory availability (12,862 pcs) supports procurement reliability.

ELM 3-335 Selection: Choose ELM 3-335 when remaining within the ELM 3 series is preferred and a reduced standoff height of 0.335" (8.51mm) is compatible with application requirements. This part maintains series consistency and carries active product status with full ROHS3 compliance. Highest inventory availability (14,653 pcs) supports immediate procurement.

ELM 3-350 Primary Selection: Retain ELM 3-350 when exact length specification of 0.350" (8.89mm) and ELM 3 series designation are mandatory design requirements. Current inventory of 984 pcs supports standard procurement cycles.

All three parts carry identical compliance certifications (ROHS3, MSL 1) and active product status, ensuring regulatory and supply chain consistency.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ELM 1-350 be used as a direct replacement for ELM 3-350?

A: Yes. ELM 1-350 qualifies as a parametric equivalent. Both parts share identical LED type (T1 3/4), material (PVC), color (Black), length (0.350"), mounting style (Vertical), and compliance certifications (ROHS3, MSL 1). The primary difference is series designation (ELM 1 versus ELM 3). Substitution is valid when cross-series compatibility is acceptable in the application.

Q: What is the key difference between ELM 3-335 and ELM 3-350?

A: The primary difference is length. ELM 3-350 provides 0.350" (8.89mm) standoff height, while ELM 3-335 provides 0.335" (8.51mm) standoff height. This 0.015" (0.38mm) reduction may affect vertical clearance in space-constrained applications. All other parameters remain identical. ELM 3-335 is suitable only when reduced standoff height is compatible with circuit board layout and component clearance requirements.

Q: Are all three parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. ELM 3-350, ELM 1-350, and ELM 3-335 all carry ROHS3 Compliant certification. Moisture Sensitivity Level is 1 (Unlimited) for all three parts, indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions during storage or handling.

Q: Which substitute part has the highest inventory availability?

A: ELM 3-335 carries the highest inventory with 14,653 pcs in stock, followed by ELM 1-350 with 12,862 pcs. The main part ELM 3-350 has 984 pcs available. Inventory levels support procurement planning and lead-time management.

Q: Can packaging differences affect substitution decisions?

A: All three parts are packaged in bags. Packaging format is identical across ELM 3-350, ELM 1-350, and ELM 3-335, eliminating packaging as a substitution constraint.

Q: What are the HTSUS codes for these parts?

A: ELM 3-350 and ELM 3-335 share HTSUS code 3926.90.9985. ELM 1-350 uses HTSUS code 8547.20.0000. These codes reflect tariff classification differences between series but do not affect functional substitution eligibility.
