ELM 4-285 LED Standoff Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELM 4-285 is a T1 LED standoff manufactured by Bivar Inc., designed for vertical mounting applications with a 0.285" (7.24mm) height. This component is constructed from black PVC material and accommodates 3mm LED packages with 2-lead configurations. The part maintains Active product status and is ROHS3 compliant, making it suitable for current production environments. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters align with the main part specifications, enabling component interchangeability in design and procurement workflows.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the ELM 4-285 are qualified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional and mechanical compatibility:

Matching Parameters:

• LED Type: T1
• Length: 0.285" (7.24mm)
• Color: Black
• LED Package: 3MM 2LD
• Manufacturer: Bivar Inc.
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)
• ECCN: EAR99
• HTSUS Code: 3926.90.9985
• Product Status: Active

The substitute parts ELM 2-285, H-101C, and H-101C-1 meet all critical dimensional and electrical parameters. The primary distinction among these parts is the material composition: the ELM 4-285 uses PVC, while H-101C and H-101C-1 use Nylon. Both materials are acceptable for T1 LED standoff applications and maintain equivalent mechanical performance within the specified dimensions.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All substitute parts listed maintain Active product status and ROHS3 compliance, ensuring compatibility with current manufacturing and regulatory requirements. The ELM 2-285 shares identical material composition (PVC) with the main part ELM 4-285, differing only in series designation. The H-101C and H-101C-1 variants utilize Nylon material instead of PVC while maintaining all other critical specifications. Selection between PVC and Nylon variants depends on application-specific environmental and thermal requirements, as both materials satisfy the provided compliance certifications and dimensional constraints. All parts are manufactured by Bivar Inc. and carry equivalent electrical and mechanical ratings for T1 LED standoff applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What determines if a part can substitute for the ELM 4-285?

A: Substitute parts must match the following parameters: T1 LED type, 0.285" (7.24mm) length, black color, 3MM 2LD package configuration, ROHS3 compliance, MSL 1 rating, and Active product status. All listed substitutes meet these criteria.

Q: What is the difference between ELM 4-285 and ELM 2-285?

A: Both parts are identical in all critical specifications, including material (PVC), dimensions, LED type, and compliance ratings. The difference is the series designation: ELM 4 versus ELM 2. Both are manufactured by Bivar Inc. and are functionally interchangeable.

Q: Can I use H-101C or H-101C-1 instead of ELM 4-285?

A: Yes. H-101C and H-101C-1 are parametric equivalents with all matching specifications except material composition. These parts use Nylon instead of PVC. Both materials are acceptable for T1 LED standoff applications and maintain equivalent performance within the specified dimensions and compliance requirements.

Q: What is the difference between H-101C and H-101C-1?

A: Both parts share identical specifications, material (Nylon), dimensions, and compliance ratings. The designation difference (-1 suffix) does not indicate a functional or electrical distinction. Both are interchangeable for T1 LED standoff applications.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All listed substitute parts, including ELM 4-285, ELM 2-285, H-101C, and H-101C-1, are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating.

Q: What packaging format is used for these parts?

A: All parts are supplied in Bag packaging format.

Q: Can material differences affect component selection?

A: Material composition (PVC versus Nylon) is provided as a specification parameter. Selection between PVC and Nylon variants should be based on application-specific requirements such as temperature range, chemical exposure, or mechanical stress. Both materials satisfy the provided compliance and dimensional specifications.
