ELM 4-035 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELM 4-035 is a T1 LED standoff manufactured by Bivar Inc., designed for vertical mounting applications. This component features a black PVC construction with a 0.350" (8.89mm) 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 electrical and mechanical parameters align with the original specification, enabling component interchangeability in applications where dimensional and material tolerances permit.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the ELM 4-035 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• LED Type: T1 (exact match required)
• Material: PVC (exact match required)
• Color: Black (exact match required)
• Manufacturer: Bivar Inc. (same manufacturer ecosystem)
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant (regulatory alignment)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) (environmental tolerance match)

Secondary Consideration:

• Length tolerance: Substitute parts may vary within the ELM series specifications

The identified substitutes (ELM 2-350 and ELM 2-365) share identical LED type, material, color, and compliance certifications. Both parts are manufactured by Bivar Inc. and maintain the same moisture sensitivity rating. The ELM 2 series represents an alternative product line within the same manufacturer's portfolio, with compatible mechanical and electrical characteristics for T1 LED standoff applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

ELM 2-350 Selection Criteria: The ELM 2-350 provides dimensional equivalence to the ELM 4-035, matching the 0.350" (8.89mm) length specification exactly. Both parts maintain identical LED type (T1), material (PVC), color (Black), and regulatory compliance (ROHS3). This substitute is suitable for applications where the ELM 4 series is unavailable and dimensional precision to the original specification is required.

ELM 2-365 Selection Criteria: The ELM 2-365 differs from the ELM 4-035 in length, measuring 0.365" (9.27mm) versus 0.350" (8.89mm). This 0.015" (0.38mm) dimensional variance must be evaluated against application tolerances. The ELM 2-365 maintains all other critical parameters: T1 LED type, PVC material, Black color, and ROHS3 compliance. Selection of this substitute is appropriate only when the application design accommodates the increased standoff height.

Availability and Compliance: All three parts maintain Active product status and ROHS3 compliance. The ELM 2 series substitutes demonstrate higher inventory availability (3507 and 16125 units respectively) compared to the ELM 4-035 (923 units), supporting supply chain continuity.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ELM 2-350 be used as a direct replacement for ELM 4-035?

A: Yes. The ELM 2-350 matches all critical parameters: T1 LED type, PVC material, Black color, 0.350" (8.89mm) length, vertical mounting orientation, ROHS3 compliance, and MSL 1 rating. Both parts are manufactured by Bivar Inc. and maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Q: What is the key difference between ELM 2-350 and ELM 2-365?

A: The primary difference is length. ELM 2-350 measures 0.350" (8.89mm), matching the ELM 4-035 specification. ELM 2-365 measures 0.365" (9.27mm), representing a 0.015" (0.38mm) increase. All other parameters remain identical. Selection depends on whether the application design accommodates the additional standoff height.

Q: Are all three parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. The ELM 4-035, ELM 2-350, and ELM 2-365 are all ROHS3 compliant, meeting current regulatory requirements for restricted substances in electrical and electronic equipment.

Q: What does MSL 1 (Unlimited) mean for these components?

A: Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 indicates the lowest moisture sensitivity classification. These components require no special moisture control during storage, handling, or assembly, providing maximum flexibility in production environments.

Q: Can I substitute ELM 2-365 if my PCB layout requires the exact 0.350" height?

A: No. The ELM 2-365 length of 0.365" (9.27mm) exceeds the ELM 4-035 specification by 0.015" (0.38mm). This dimensional variance may cause mechanical interference or electrical performance issues in applications with tight height constraints. Use ELM 2-350 for exact dimensional equivalence.

Q: What packaging format is used for these parts?

A: All three parts are supplied in Bag packaging, suitable for standard component handling and storage procedures.

Q: Are these parts from the same manufacturer?

A: Yes. ELM 4-035, ELM 2-350, and ELM 2-365 are all manufactured by Bivar Inc., ensuring consistent quality standards and design compatibility within the manufacturer's product ecosystem.
