ELM 3-810 LED Standoff Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELM 3-810 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 0.810" (20.57mm) 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 functional performance can be achieved within the allowed electrical and mechanical parameter tolerances for this LED standoff category.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the ELM 3-810 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Primary Compatibility Criteria:

• LED Type: T1 3/4 (mechanical and electrical interface standard)
• Material: PVC (chemical and thermal properties)
• Color: Black (visual and optical consistency)
• Mounting Style: Vertical (mechanical orientation)
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant (regulatory requirement)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) (environmental tolerance)

Allowable Variation:

• Length tolerance within mechanical assembly constraints

The ELM 1-820 qualifies as a parametric equivalent because it maintains identical specifications across all primary compatibility criteria. The length differential of 0.010" (0.26mm) falls within standard mechanical tolerances for LED standoff applications where vertical mounting geometry permits minor dimensional variation.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

ELM 3-810 Primary Selection: Use the ELM 3-810 when the exact 0.810" (20.57mm) length specification is required by design documentation or assembly constraints. This part is Active and maintains full RoHS3 compliance with MSL 1 rating.

ELM 1-820 Substitute Selection: The ELM 1-820 serves as a direct substitute when the 0.010" (0.26mm) length increase to 0.820" (20.83mm) is mechanically acceptable within the assembly design. Both parts share identical LED type, material, color, mounting orientation, and regulatory compliance status. The substitute part carries higher inventory availability (1983 Pcs vs. 839 Pcs), which may support supply chain continuity.

Compliance Basis: Both parts maintain Active product status and ROHS3 compliance. MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating on both parts indicates no moisture-related storage or handling restrictions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What makes ELM 1-820 a valid substitute for ELM 3-810?

A: The ELM 1-820 maintains identical specifications for LED type (T1 3/4), material (PVC), color (Black), mounting style (Vertical), RoHS compliance, and moisture sensitivity level. The length difference of 0.010" (0.26mm) is within standard mechanical tolerances for vertical LED standoff applications.

Q: Are there any electrical performance differences between these parts?

A: No electrical performance differences exist. Both parts are mechanical standoffs for T1 3/4 LEDs with identical material and construction properties.

Q: Does the length difference affect mechanical compatibility?

A: The 0.010" (0.26mm) length increase in the ELM 1-820 must be evaluated against specific assembly geometry. Vertical mounting applications typically accommodate this tolerance range, but design documentation should confirm acceptability for your specific application.

Q: Are both parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. Both ELM 3-810 and ELM 1-820 carry ROHS3 Compliant status and are suitable for regulated manufacturing environments.

Q: What is the packaging format for both parts?

A: Both parts are supplied in Bag packaging format.

Q: Does moisture sensitivity affect storage or handling?

A: No. Both parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, indicating no special moisture control requirements during storage or handling.
