ELM 4-22MM LED Standoff Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELM 4-22MM is a T1 LED standoff manufactured by Bivar Inc., designed for vertical mounting applications. This component features a black PVC construction with a length of 0.870" (22.10mm) and is classified as an active product with ROHS3 compliance. The part is available in bag packaging with 696 pieces currently in stock as new original inventory.

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters are maintained within the allowable tolerances for this product category, ensuring functional interchangeability in target applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The ELM 5-23MM is identified as a parametric equivalent based on the following substitution criteria:

Maintained Parameters:

• LED Type: T1 (identical)
• Material: PVC (identical)
• Color: Black (identical)
• Manufacturer: Bivar Inc. (identical)
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant (identical)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) (identical)
• Packaging: Bag (identical)
• Product Status: Active (identical)

Variant Parameter:

• Length: 0.910" (23.11mm) versus 0.870" (22.10mm) — a 0.040" (1.01mm) difference

The substitute part maintains all critical electrical and mechanical characteristics while presenting a minor length variation. This length difference falls within the tolerance range for T1 LED standoff applications where vertical mounting clearance permits the additional height.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both ELM 4-22MM and ELM 5-23MM are active products manufactured by Bivar Inc. with identical RoHS3 compliance and MSL ratings. Selection between these parts is determined by available vertical mounting space in the target application.

The ELM 4-22MM is specified when the assembly design requires the shorter 0.870" (22.10mm) standoff height. The ELM 5-23MM serves applications where the additional 0.040" (1.01mm) of height is accommodated by the PCB layout and enclosure clearance.

Both parts maintain equivalent electrical performance and environmental compliance characteristics. Inventory availability for ELM 5-23MM (7087 pieces) exceeds that of ELM 4-22MM (696 pieces), which may influence procurement decisions for high-volume production requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ELM 5-23MM be used as a direct replacement for ELM 4-22MM?

A: ELM 5-23MM is a functional substitute when the application permits the increased standoff height of 0.910" (23.11mm) compared to the original 0.870" (22.10mm). The 0.040" (1.01mm) length difference must be verified against PCB-to-enclosure clearance specifications before substitution.

Q: Are the electrical characteristics identical between these parts?

A: Both parts are T1 LED standoffs with identical material composition (PVC), color (Black), and environmental compliance ratings (ROHS3, MSL 1). Electrical performance is equivalent for T1 LED mounting applications.

Q: What is the significance of the series designation change from ELM 4 to ELM 5?

A: The series designation reflects the design iteration within Bivar Inc.'s product line. The ELM 5 series incorporates the 23.11mm length specification while maintaining all other functional and compliance parameters of the ELM 4 series.

Q: Does packaging differ between these parts?

A: Both parts are supplied in bag packaging. No packaging format differences exist between ELM 4-22MM and ELM 5-23MM.

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs?

A: Selection is based solely on the vertical mounting space available in the target application. If 0.870" (22.10mm) height is specified, use ELM 4-22MM. If 0.910" (23.11mm) height is acceptable, ELM 5-23MM is a valid equivalent with superior inventory availability.
