Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the ELM 4-2MM is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• LED Type: T1 (mechanical form factor)
• Length: 0.080" (2.03mm) (physical dimension)
• Material: PVC (chemical and mechanical properties)
• Color: Black (visual and material specification)
• Manufacturer: Bivar Inc. (design and quality consistency)

The substitute part ELM 2-080 meets all primary substitution criteria. Both parts share identical mechanical dimensions, material composition, and LED form factor specifications. Substitution is valid when the application requires these exact parameters without deviation.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

ELM 4-2MM (Primary Part):

• Current inventory: 908 Pcs New Original In Stock
• Series designation: ELM 4
• Base product number: ELM4-2
• Suitable for applications where ELM 4 series specifications are required

ELM 2-080 (Substitute Part):

• Current inventory: 23,989 Pcs New Original In Stock
• Series designation: ELM 2
• Base product number: ELM2
• Functionally equivalent across all critical mechanical and electrical parameters
• Higher inventory availability

Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and MSL Level 1 rating. Selection between ELM 4-2MM and ELM 2-080 is determined by application requirements and inventory availability. The substitute part ELM 2-080 provides equivalent functional performance with significantly higher stock levels.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What determines if ELM 2-080 can substitute for ELM 4-2MM?

A: Substitution is valid when the following parameters are identical: LED type (T1), physical length (0.080"/2.03mm), material (PVC), color (Black), and manufacturer (Bivar Inc.). Both parts meet these criteria.

Q: Are there any differences in compliance or certification between these parts?

A: Both parts are ROHS3 compliant with MSL Level 1 rating. Both are packaged in bags and manufactured by Bivar Inc. Compliance specifications are equivalent.

Q: What is the difference between the ELM 4 and ELM 2 series designations?

A: Series designation reflects internal product line organization. The ELM 2-080 and ELM 4-2MM are mechanically and functionally equivalent despite different series classifications.

Q: Can I use ELM 2-080 in place of ELM 4-2MM in my current design?

A: Yes, provided your application requires only the specified parameters: T1 LED type, 0.080" length, black PVC material, and vertical mounting configuration. No design modification is necessary.

Q: What inventory considerations should influence my part selection?

A: ELM 2-080 has significantly higher inventory availability (23,989 Pcs vs. 908 Pcs). For applications with extended lead time requirements or high-volume production, ELM 2-080 provides superior supply chain reliability.

Q: Are the packaging specifications identical?

A: Both parts are supplied in bag packaging. Packaging format is equivalent between the two parts.
