ELM 3-415 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELM 3-415 is a T1 3/4 LED standoff manufactured by Bivar Inc., designed for vertical mounting of LED components. This black PVC standoff measures 0.415" (10.54mm) in length and accommodates T1 3/4 LED packages. The product is actively manufactured and RoHS3 compliant. Alternative models are required when specific length requirements, material specifications, or packaging formats differ from the original design specification.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the ELM 3-415 is determined by the following parameters: LED package compatibility (T1 3/4), length tolerance (0.415"), material composition (PVC), and color (black). The identified substitutes differ in specific dimensions or material formulations while maintaining functional compatibility with T1 3/4 LED packages.

LTM-400 functions as a similar substitute with a 0.400" length specification and crystalline polymer material, supporting both T1 and T1 3/4 LED packages.

ELM 1-11MM serves as a parametric equivalent with a 0.430" length specification and PVC material, maintaining compatibility with T1 3/4 LED packages.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three components—ELM 3-415, LTM-400, and ELM 1-11MM—maintain active product status and ROHS3 compliance, qualifying them for use in applications requiring regulatory compliance. Selection should be based on the specific mounting height requirement for the target assembly. The 0.415" length of the ELM 3-415 represents the nominal specification; the LTM-400 at 0.400" provides a 0.015" shorter option with crystalline polymer material, while the ELM 1-11MM at 0.430" provides a 0.015" taller option with PVC material. Packaging format differs between the ELM 3-415 and ELM 1-11MM (bag) versus LTM-400 (bulk), which may influence procurement logistics for production volumes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can LTM-400 replace ELM 3-415 in all applications? A: LTM-400 is functionally compatible with both T1 and T1 3/4 LED packages but differs in length (0.400" versus 0.415") and material (crystalline polymer versus PVC). Substitution is appropriate only when the 0.015" length difference is acceptable for the mechanical design and where crystalline polymer material meets material specifications.

Q: What is the length difference between ELM 3-415 and ELM 1-11MM? A: ELM 1-11MM measures 0.430" compared to ELM 3-415 at 0.415", representing a 0.015" difference. Both use PVC material and support T1 3/4 LED packages.

Q: Are there packaging considerations for high-volume production? A: LTM-400 is supplied in bulk packaging, while ELM 3-415 and ELM 1-11MM use bag packaging. Bulk packaging may reduce handling costs for large production quantities but requires evaluation against component usage rate and storage requirements.

Q: Do all substitutes meet the same compliance standards? A: All three parts are RoHS3 compliant and maintain active product status, meeting standard industrial compliance requirements.

Q: What LED package types are supported by each part? A: ELM 3-415 and ELM 1-11MM support T1 3/4 LED packages exclusively. LTM-400 supports both T1 and T1 3/4 LED packages, providing broader compatibility.
