ELM 4-080 LED Standoff Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELM 4-080 is a T1 LED standoff manufactured by Bivar Inc., designed for vertical mounting applications. This component features a black PVC construction with a 0.080" (2.03mm) height specification. The part is currently in active production status with ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1). Alternative part numbers may be required due to inventory availability, supply chain optimization, or specific application requirements where compatible substitute specifications are acceptable.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The ELM 2-080 is functionally equivalent to the ELM 4-080 based on the following matching parameters:

• LED Type: Both are T1 LED standoffs
• Length: Both specify 0.080" (2.03mm)
• Color: Both are black
• Material: Both use PVC construction
• Mounting Orientation: Both are vertical mount (SR VERT)
• Compliance: Both are ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity: Both have MSL 1 (Unlimited)

The primary distinction between these parts is the series designation (ELM 4 versus ELM 2), which reflects internal Bivar Inc. product line organization. This substitution maintains electrical and mechanical compatibility for vertical LED mounting applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the ELM 4-080 and ELM 2-080 meet identical compliance and certification requirements, including ROHS3 Compliance and EAR99 export classification. The ELM 2-080 is currently maintained in significantly higher inventory (23,989 pieces) compared to the ELM 4-080 (701 pieces), making it the preferred choice for supply chain continuity and procurement efficiency. Selection should be based on application availability and design documentation requirements rather than technical differentiation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the ELM 4-080 and ELM 2-080 mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical specifications for LED type (T1), length (0.080"), color (black), material (PVC), and mounting orientation (vertical). Mechanical interchange is supported for vertical LED standoff applications.

Q: What determines the substitutability of these parts?

A: Substitutability is determined by matching LED type, length specification, color, material composition, mounting style, and compliance certifications. The ELM 4-080 and ELM 2-080 satisfy all these criteria identically.

Q: Do both parts comply with environmental regulations?

A: Yes. Both the ELM 4-080 and ELM 2-080 are ROHS3 Compliant. The ELM 2-080 carries additional REACH Unaffected designation.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity rating, and does it differ between parts?

A: Both parts are rated at Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity constraints during storage, handling, or assembly.

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs?

A: Selection should prioritize current inventory status and supply chain availability. The ELM 2-080 offers significantly higher stock availability. Both parts are active, supported products suitable for production designs.
