ELM 4-23MM Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELM 4-23MM is a T1 LED Standoff manufactured by Bivar Inc. in black PVC material with a length of 0.910" (23.11mm). This component is classified as an LED mounting standoff and is currently in Active product status. Identification of equivalent and substitute parts is necessary to ensure design flexibility, optimize inventory management, and provide alternative sourcing options when the primary part becomes unavailable or when project requirements allow for compatible alternatives.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The ELM 5-23MM serves as a parametric equivalent to the ELM 4-23MM based on the following matching parameters:

• LED Type: Both parts are T1 specification LED standoffs
• Material: Both utilize PVC construction
• Color: Both are black finish
• Length: Both measure 0.910" (23.11mm)
• RoHS Compliance: Both maintain ROHS3 Compliant status
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: Both classified as MSL 1 (Unlimited)
• Product Status: Both are Active products from Bivar Inc.

These aligned parameters establish the basis for substitution between the ELM 4-23MM and ELM 5-23MM in applications where form, fit, and functional requirements are equivalent.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the ELM 4-23MM and ELM 5-23MM are Active products with full ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating. The parts are functionally interchangeable based on their identical electrical and mechanical parameters. Selection between these parts may be determined by inventory availability, lead time, series preference (ELM 4 versus ELM 5), or cost considerations at the time of procurement.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What parameters define substitution between the ELM 4-23MM and ELM 5-23MM?

A: The substitute relationship is established by matching LED type (T1), material (PVC), color (Black), length (0.910"/23.11mm), RoHS compliance (ROHS3), and moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1).

Q: Are there dimensional differences between these parts?

A: Both parts share identical physical dimensions with a length of 0.910" (23.11mm) and the same T1 LED standoff form factor.

Q: Do both parts meet the same regulatory requirements?

A: Both parts are ROHS3 Compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating and maintain Active product status.

Q: What is the difference between the ELM 4 and ELM 5 series?

A: The series designation differs (ELM 4 versus ELM 5), but the critical functional and mechanical parameters remain identical for the specified 23mm length variants.

Q: Can I use ELM 5-23MM as a direct replacement for ELM 4-23MM in existing designs?

A: Yes, the ELM 5-23MM is a direct parametric equivalent based on all provided electrical, mechanical, and compliance specifications.
