ELM 3-570 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELM 3-570 is a T1 3/4 LED standoff manufactured by Bivar Inc., designed for vertical mounting applications with a 0.570" (14.48mm) length. This component features a black PVC construction and is classified as an active product with full RoHS3 compliance. LED standoffs serve as mechanical and electrical interfaces for LED component positioning in circuit assemblies. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters are maintained across alternative part numbers, enabling procurement flexibility and supply chain continuity.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The ELM 3-570 has one identified parametric equivalent: ELM 1-545. Substitution eligibility is determined by the following criteria:

Maintained Parameters:

• LED Type: T1 3/4 (identical across both parts)
• Material: Black PVC (identical across both parts)
• Mounting Orientation: Vertical (identical across both parts)
• Manufacturer: Bivar Inc. (identical across both parts)
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant (identical across both parts)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) (identical across both parts)
• Product Status: Active (identical across both parts)

Varying Parameter:

• Length: ELM 3-570 measures 0.570" (14.48mm), while ELM 1-545 measures 0.545" (13.84mm), representing a 0.025" (0.64mm) difference

The ELM 1-545 qualifies as a substitute part where the 0.025" length differential is accommodated by the application design requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the ELM 3-570 and ELM 1-545 maintain active product status with Bivar Inc. and carry identical RoHS3 compliance certification. The parts are functionally equivalent in all electrical and material specifications. Selection between these parts is determined by the mechanical length requirement of the application. The ELM 3-570 is specified for assemblies requiring a 0.570" standoff height, while the ELM 1-545 is specified for assemblies requiring a 0.545" standoff height. Both parts are manufactured to identical quality and compliance standards and are suitable for direct substitution where the length differential is accommodated by the circuit assembly design.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ELM 1-545 be used in place of ELM 3-570?

A: The ELM 1-545 is a parametric equivalent with all electrical and material properties identical to the ELM 3-570. The only difference is the length: 0.545" versus 0.570". Substitution is valid where the application design accommodates the 0.025" (0.64mm) length reduction.

Q: What are the critical parameters that define substitution eligibility?

A: LED type (T1 3/4), material (Black PVC), mounting orientation (Vertical), manufacturer (Bivar Inc.), and compliance certifications (RoHS3, MSL 1) must remain constant. Length variation is the only parameter that may differ between substitute parts.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both ELM 3-570 and ELM 1-545 are ROHS3 compliant and carry identical moisture sensitivity ratings (MSL 1, Unlimited).

Q: What is the packaging format for these parts?

A: Both parts are supplied in bag packaging format.

Q: Are both parts currently in active production?

A: Yes. Both ELM 3-570 and ELM 1-545 maintain active product status with Bivar Inc.
