ELM 3-5MM LED Standoff Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELM 3-5MM is a T1 3/4 LED standoff manufactured by Bivar Inc., designed for vertical mounting applications. This component is a black PVC standoff with a 0.197" (5.00mm) length specification. The part is currently Active in product status with ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1).

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters align with the main part specifications, enabling direct replacement in applications where the primary part is unavailable or when inventory constraints require alternative sourcing.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the ELM 3-5MM is determined by the following critical parameters:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• LED Type: T1 3/4 (exact match required)
• Color: Black (exact match required)
• Mounting Style: Vertical (exact match required)
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant (minimum requirement)
• Length Tolerance: 0.197" to 0.201" (5.00mm to 5.10mm) — within acceptable mechanical tolerance for vertical standoff applications

Substitute Parts Identified:

1. ELM 1-200 (Bivar Inc.) — Parametric equivalent with length 0.200" (5.08mm), within tolerance range
2. 0035.9206 (SCHURTER Inc.) — Parametric equivalent with length 0.201" (5.10mm), within tolerance range

Both substitute parts maintain T1 3/4 LED compatibility, black color specification, vertical mounting configuration, and ROHS3 compliance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

ELM 3-5MM (Primary Part): Active product status with established supply. ROHS3 compliant. Suitable for applications requiring the exact 0.197" (5.00mm) length specification.

ELM 1-200 (Bivar Inc. Substitute): Active product status. ROHS3 compliant. Length variance of +0.003" (0.08mm) from primary specification. Maintains identical manufacturer source and material composition (PVC). Appropriate for applications with mechanical tolerance accommodation for the increased length.

0035.9206 (SCHURTER Inc. Substitute): Active product status. ROHS3 compliant. Length variance of +0.004" (0.10mm) from primary specification. Cross-manufacturer substitution. Material specification not provided in documentation. Appropriate for applications with mechanical tolerance accommodation for the increased length and cross-manufacturer compatibility requirements.

All three parts maintain T1 3/4 LED compatibility, black color, vertical mounting configuration, and regulatory compliance (ROHS3).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What determines if a part can substitute for the ELM 3-5MM?

A: Substitution is based on matching the following parameters: T1 3/4 LED type, black color, vertical mounting style, and ROHS3 compliance. Length tolerance of ±0.004" (0.10mm) is acceptable for mechanical compatibility in vertical standoff applications.

Q: Are the substitute parts electrically identical to the ELM 3-5MM?

A: Yes. Both ELM 1-200 and 0035.9206 are T1 3/4 LED standoffs with identical electrical function and LED compatibility specifications.

Q: What is the length difference between the main part and substitutes?

A: ELM 3-5MM is 0.197" (5.00mm). ELM 1-200 is 0.200" (5.08mm), a difference of +0.003" (0.08mm). 0035.9206 is 0.201" (5.10mm), a difference of +0.004" (0.10mm). These differences fall within standard mechanical tolerances for vertical standoff applications.

Q: Can I use 0035.9206 from SCHURTER Inc. as a direct replacement?

A: Yes, 0035.9206 meets all critical substitution parameters: T1 3/4 LED type, black color, vertical mounting, ROHS3 compliance, and acceptable length tolerance. Cross-manufacturer substitution is valid based on parametric equivalence.

Q: What is the inventory status of each part?

A: ELM 3-5MM: 980 Pcs in stock. ELM 1-200: 749 Pcs in stock. 0035.9206: 3031 Pcs in stock.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. ELM 3-5MM, ELM 1-200, and 0035.9206 are all ROHS3 compliant.
