ELM 4-435 LED Standoff Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELM 4-435 is a T1 LED standoff manufactured by Bivar Inc., designed for vertical mounting applications with a 0.435" (11.05mm) length. This component is constructed from black PVC material and accommodates 3MM LED configurations with 2-lead connections. The part maintains Active product status and is ROHS3 compliant, making it suitable for current production environments. Substitute parts may be required due to inventory constraints, application-specific height requirements, or supply chain considerations while maintaining functional equivalence within the ELM 4 series.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution within the ELM 4 series is determined by the following critical parameters: LED type (T1), material composition (black PVC), mounting orientation (vertical), LED size (3MM), and lead configuration (2-lead). The primary variable distinguishing substitute parts is the standoff length. The ELM 4-435 and its substitute ELM 4-440 share identical electrical, mechanical, and compliance characteristics with the exception of physical height. Both parts maintain the same series designation, material specification, color, and regulatory compliance status. Length variation of 0.005" (0.13mm) between these parts permits substitution in applications where PCB-to-component clearance tolerances accommodate this dimensional difference.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both ELM 4-435 and ELM 4-440 maintain Active product status within the Bivar Inc. portfolio and carry identical ROHS3 compliance certification. Selection between these parts is determined by mechanical fit requirements within the target application. The 0.005" (0.13mm) length differential must be evaluated against PCB layout constraints, component clearance specifications, and assembly tolerances. Both parts carry MSL Level 1 classification, indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions during storage or handling. Inventory availability of 914 units for ELM 4-435 and 991 units for ELM 4-440 supports production planning decisions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ELM 4-440 be used as a direct replacement for ELM 4-435?

A: ELM 4-440 functions as a parametric equivalent with a 0.005" (0.13mm) length increase. Substitution is valid when PCB-to-component clearance and assembly specifications accommodate this dimensional variance. Both parts share identical LED type, material, mounting orientation, and compliance characteristics.

Q: What is the primary difference between ELM 4-435 and ELM 4-440?

A: The standoff length distinguishes these parts. ELM 4-435 measures 0.435" (11.05mm), while ELM 4-440 measures 0.440" (11.18mm). All other parameters—LED type (T1), material (black PVC), configuration (vertical mount, 3MM, 2-lead), and certifications—remain identical.

Q: Are both parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. Both ELM 4-435 and ELM 4-440 carry ROHS3 compliance certification and maintain identical Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited) ratings.

Q: How does packaging affect part selection?

A: Both parts are supplied in Bag packaging format. Packaging type does not influence functional or mechanical compatibility between these substitute parts.

Q: What series do these parts belong to?

A: Both ELM 4-435 and ELM 4-440 belong to the ELM 4 series manufactured by Bivar Inc., sharing the base product number ELM4-4.
