Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The ELM 5-235 is identified as a parametric equivalent based on the following criteria:

Matching Parameters:

• LED Type: T1 (identical)
• Material: PVC (identical)
• Color: Black (identical)
• Manufacturer: Bivar Inc. (identical)
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant (identical)
• MSL Rating: 1 (Unlimited) (identical)

Varying Parameters:

• Length: 0.235" (5.97mm) versus 0.225" (5.72mm)

The primary difference is the mechanical length dimension, which varies by 0.010" (0.25mm). This substitution is valid when application mechanical constraints permit the increased length specification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both ELM 4-225 and ELM 5-235 are Active products with ROHS3 compliance and identical MSL ratings. Selection between these components should be based on mechanical length requirements within the target application. The ELM 4-225 is specified for applications requiring the shorter 0.225" (5.72mm) length, while the ELM 5-235 accommodates applications with tolerance for the 0.235" (5.97mm) dimension. Both components maintain identical electrical and material specifications, ensuring functional compatibility when mechanical clearance permits substitution.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ELM 5-235 be used as a direct replacement for ELM 4-225? A: ELM 5-235 can serve as a substitute only when the application mechanical design permits the increased length of 0.235" (5.97mm) compared to the original 0.225" (5.72mm) specification. All other electrical and material parameters are identical.

Q: What is the length difference between these parts? A: The ELM 5-235 is 0.010" (0.25mm) longer than the ELM 4-225.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant? A: Yes, both ELM 4-225 and ELM 5-235 are ROHS3 compliant.

Q: Do these parts have different moisture sensitivity levels? A: No, both components are rated MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating identical moisture sensitivity classification.

Q: Are the packaging specifications identical? A: Yes, both parts are supplied in Bag packaging.
