ELM 4-360 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELM 4-360 is a T1 LED standoff manufactured by Bivar Inc., designed for vertical mounting applications. This component features a black PVC construction with a 0.360" (9.14mm) length and accommodates T1 LED packages with 2 leads. The part is Active in product status and RoHS3 compliant, with unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1).

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters are maintained across the product line, enabling component interchangeability in applications where dimensional tolerance and functional requirements align.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the ELM 4-360 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Manufacturer: Bivar Inc.
• LED Type: T1
• Material: Black PVC
• Mounting Style: Vertical
• Lead Count: 2
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant
• MSL Rating: 1 (Unlimited)
• Product Status: Active

Variable Parameter (Within Tolerance):

• Length: 0.360" ± tolerance range

The identified substitutes (ELM 2-350 and ELM 2-365) maintain all mandatory parameters while varying in length by ±0.010" from the main part specification. This dimensional variation falls within acceptable mechanical tolerance for vertical LED standoff applications where precise height matching is not a critical design constraint.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

ELM 2-350 Selection Criteria: The ELM 2-350 operates at 0.350" (8.89mm) length, representing a 0.010" reduction from the main part. This substitute is suitable for applications where reduced standoff height is acceptable or preferred. All compliance certifications (ROHS3, MSL 1) are maintained. Product status is Active with 3507 units in stock.

ELM 2-365 Selection Criteria: The ELM 2-365 operates at 0.365" (9.27mm) length, representing a 0.005" increase from the main part. This substitute is suitable for applications where marginal height increase is tolerable. All compliance certifications (ROHS3, MSL 1) are maintained, with additional REACH Unaffected status documented. Product status is Active with 16125 units in stock.

Primary Selection Logic: Component selection between ELM 4-360 and its substitutes depends on PCB layout requirements and vertical clearance specifications. All three parts maintain identical electrical and environmental compliance profiles. Inventory availability and dimensional tolerance requirements should guide final selection.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ELM 2-350 and ELM 2-365 be used interchangeably with ELM 4-360?

A: Yes, within the constraints of your application's dimensional tolerance. All three parts share identical LED type (T1), material (Black PVC), mounting style (Vertical), lead count (2), and compliance ratings (ROHS3, MSL 1). The length variation of ±0.010" must be evaluated against your PCB clearance and component height requirements.

Q: What is the length difference between the main part and substitutes?

A: ELM 4-360 is 0.360" (9.14mm). ELM 2-350 is 0.010" shorter at 0.350" (8.89mm). ELM 2-365 is 0.005" longer at 0.365" (9.27mm). These variations must be accommodated in your mechanical design.

Q: Are all three parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. ELM 4-360, ELM 2-350, and ELM 2-365 are all ROHS3 compliant with MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited moisture sensitivity).

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

A: The primary difference is the base product number designation (ELM4-3 versus ELM2-3) and length specification. Both series maintain identical material, LED type, mounting configuration, and compliance certifications.

Q: Which substitute has the highest inventory availability?

A: ELM 2-365 has 16125 units in stock, compared to 3507 units for ELM 2-350 and 1040 units for the main part ELM 4-360.

Q: Are there any electrical performance differences between these parts?

A: No electrical performance differences exist. All three parts are mechanical standoffs for T1 LED packages and do not contain active electrical components.
