ELM 4-430 LED Standoff Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELM 4-430 is a T1 LED standoff manufactured by Bivar Inc., designed for vertical mounting applications with a 0.430" (10.92mm) length. This component is constructed from black PVC material and accommodates 3MM 2-lead LED configurations. The part maintains Active product status and is ROHS3 compliant, making it suitable for current production environments. Substitute parts are identified when dimensional or operational parameters align within the allowed specifications for this product category, enabling component interchangeability in applications where mechanical and electrical requirements permit.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the ELM 4-430 are identified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional interchangeability:

Matching Parameters (Required for Substitution):

• Manufacturer: Bivar Inc.
• Series: ELM 4
• LED Type: T1
• Color: Black
• Material: PVC
• LED Configuration: 3MM 2-Lead
• Product Status: Active
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

Variable Parameter (Allows Substitution):

• Length: Dimensional variation within the ELM 4 series

The ELM 4-440 qualifies as a parametric equivalent because it maintains all critical matching parameters while varying only in length specification (0.440" versus 0.430"). This dimensional difference permits substitution in applications where the increased standoff height accommodates the mechanical design requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the ELM 4-430 and ELM 4-440 maintain Active product status within the Bivar Inc. portfolio, ensuring continued manufacturing support and supply chain availability. Both components satisfy ROHS3 compliance requirements and carry identical Moisture Sensitivity Level ratings, eliminating environmental or regulatory constraints as differentiating factors.

Selection between these parts depends solely on mechanical fit requirements within the target application. The 0.010" (0.26mm) length differential between the ELM 4-430 and ELM 4-440 must be evaluated against PCB layout constraints, enclosure clearances, and LED lead positioning specifications. Applications requiring the shorter standoff height specify the ELM 4-430; applications accommodating or requiring the longer standoff height specify the ELM 4-440.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the ELM 4-440 be used in place of the ELM 4-430?

A: The ELM 4-440 qualifies as a parametric equivalent when the mechanical design permits the 0.010" (0.26mm) increase in standoff length. All electrical and material specifications remain identical. Verify that PCB clearances and enclosure dimensions accommodate the longer component.

Q: What is the primary difference between these substitute parts?

A: The sole difference is the standoff length. The ELM 4-430 measures 0.430" (10.92mm), while the ELM 4-440 measures 0.440" (11.18mm). All other parameters—LED type, material, color, lead configuration, and compliance certifications—are identical.

Q: Are both parts currently available for production use?

A: Yes. Both the ELM 4-430 and ELM 4-440 maintain Active product status. Current inventory levels are 749 pieces and 991 pieces respectively, both available as new original stock in bag packaging.

Q: Do these parts share the same base product number?

A: Yes. Both components reference base product number ELM4-4, confirming their membership within the same product family and design platform.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to both parts?

A: Both the ELM 4-430 and ELM 4-440 are ROHS3 compliant and carry Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited) ratings. Both are classified under ECCN EAR99 and HTSUS 3926.90.9985.
