ELM 4-330 LED Standoff Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELM 4-330 is a T1 LED standoff manufactured by Bivar Inc., featuring a black PVC construction with a 0.330" (8.38mm) vertical height. This component is designed for vertical LED mounting applications requiring precise standoff positioning. The part maintains Active product status and is RoHS3 compliant with MSL Level 1 rating, indicating unlimited moisture sensitivity tolerance. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent functional performance can be achieved through alternative Bivar Inc. standoff models that maintain compatible LED type, material composition, and mechanical mounting characteristics while accommodating minor dimensional variations within acceptable engineering tolerances.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the ELM 4-330 are qualified based on the following criteria:

Primary Compatibility Parameters:

• Manufacturer: Bivar Inc. (maintains consistent design and quality standards)
• LED Type: T1 (ensures mechanical and electrical compatibility with LED mounting interfaces)
• Material: Black PVC (provides equivalent mechanical properties and environmental resistance)
• Mounting Style: Vertical (maintains identical PCB mounting orientation)
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant (ensures regulatory equivalence)
• MSL Rating: 1 (Unlimited) (confirms identical moisture sensitivity tolerance)

Secondary Variation Parameter:

• Height: Dimensional tolerance range of 0.315" to 0.330" (8.00mm to 8.38mm) accommodates minor standoff height variations within acceptable mechanical clearance specifications for vertical LED mounting applications.

All substitute parts maintain Active product status and identical packaging format (Bag), ensuring supply chain consistency and interchangeability in production environments.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

ELM 4-330 Primary Selection: Select the ELM 4-330 when the application requires the maximum standoff height of 0.330" (8.38mm) within the ELM 4 series. This part maintains the highest inventory availability at 1033 pieces and is optimized for applications with specific vertical clearance requirements.

ELM 4-315 Substitute (Same Series): The ELM 4-315 provides equivalent functionality within the same ELM 4 series with a reduced height of 0.315" (8.00mm). This substitute is appropriate when applications can accommodate the 0.015" (0.38mm) height reduction. The ELM 4-315 maintains identical HTSUS classification (3926.90.9985) and series designation, ensuring design consistency. Inventory availability is 4972 pieces.

ELM 2-320 Substitute (Cross-Series, Highest Inventory): The ELM 2-320 operates within the ELM 2 series with a height of 0.320" (8.13mm), representing a 0.010" (0.25mm) reduction from the ELM 4-330. This substitute is suitable for applications where minor height variation is acceptable. The ELM 2-320 offers the highest inventory availability at 26182 pieces, providing supply chain advantages for high-volume production requirements.

ELM 2-315 Substitute (Cross-Series, Minimum Height): The ELM 2-315 provides the minimum standoff height at 0.315" (8.00mm) within the substitute group. This part is appropriate for space-constrained applications requiring maximum height reduction. Inventory availability is 7562 pieces.

All substitute parts maintain Active product status, ROHS3 compliance, and MSL Level 1 rating, confirming regulatory and environmental equivalence with the primary ELM 4-330 specification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What is the primary difference between ELM 4-330 and its substitutes?

A: The primary difference is standoff height. The ELM 4-330 provides 0.330" (8.38mm) height, while substitutes range from 0.315" to 0.320" (8.00mm to 8.13mm). All other parameters—LED type (T1), material (Black PVC), mounting style (Vertical), and compliance ratings—remain identical.

Q: Can ELM 2 series parts substitute for ELM 4 series parts?

A: Yes. The ELM 2-315 and ELM 2-320 are qualified substitutes for the ELM 4-330. Both series share identical LED type, material, color, and compliance characteristics. The series designation reflects design generation rather than functional incompatibility. Height variation must be evaluated against specific application clearance requirements.

Q: What is the maximum height difference between the ELM 4-330 and its substitutes?

A: The maximum height difference is 0.015" (0.38mm), occurring between the ELM 4-330 (0.330") and both ELM 4-315 and ELM 2-315 (0.315"). The ELM 2-320 provides an intermediate height difference of 0.010" (0.25mm).

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All substitute parts—ELM 2-315, ELM 2-320, and ELM 4-315—maintain ROHS3 compliance identical to the ELM 4-330, ensuring regulatory equivalence for applications requiring RoHS certification.

Q: What is the MSL rating for all parts in this group?

A: All parts, including the ELM 4-330 and all substitutes, carry an MSL Level 1 rating (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions during storage or handling.

Q: Which substitute offers the best inventory availability?

A: The ELM 2-320 provides the highest inventory availability at 26182 pieces, compared to 1033 pieces for the ELM 4-330. This substitute is recommended for high-volume production requirements where supply continuity is critical.

Q: Are packaging formats identical across all parts?

A: Yes. All parts—ELM 4-330, ELM 2-315, ELM 2-320, and ELM 4-315—are packaged in Bag format, ensuring consistent handling and storage procedures across the substitute group.

Q: What mounting orientation do all these parts support?

A: All parts support vertical mounting orientation, maintaining identical PCB mounting interfaces and installation procedures across the entire substitute group.
