Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The ELM 5-130 serves as a parametric equivalent to the ELM 4-130 based on alignment across critical substitution criteria. Both components share identical specifications for LED type (T1), length (0.130" / 3.30mm), color (Black), material (PVC), and mounting orientation (Vertical). Both parts maintain the same RoHS3 compliance status and MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited). The substitution is valid because these parameters define the mechanical and electrical compatibility within the LED standoff assembly context. The primary distinction between these parts is their series designation (ELM 4 versus ELM 5), which reflects different design iterations from the same manufacturer while maintaining full parametric compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the ELM 4-130 and ELM 5-130 are Active products with identical regulatory certifications (RoHS3 compliant) and MSL ratings. The ELM 5-130 represents an alternative source for identical mechanical and electrical specifications, offering inventory flexibility. Selection between these parts should be driven by availability, lead time, and supply chain requirements rather than technical performance differences, as all critical parameters remain constant.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ELM 5-130 directly replace ELM 4-130 in existing PCB assemblies? A: Yes. Both components share identical specifications for LED type (T1), height (0.130"), color (Black), material (PVC), and mounting orientation (Vertical). No design changes are required for direct substitution.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between these parts? A: No. Both ELM 4-130 and ELM 5-130 maintain identical RoHS3 compliance status and MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited).

Q: What distinguishes ELM 4-130 from ELM 5-130? A: The primary difference is the series designation (ELM 4 versus ELM 5), indicating different design generations. All functional and parametric specifications remain identical.

Q: Which part should be selected based on current inventory? A: Component selection should prioritize availability and lead time. The ELM 5-130 currently has higher inventory (1461 Pcs) compared to ELM 4-130 (825 Pcs), making it preferable for immediate procurement when supply chain conditions require optimization.
