ELM 4-505 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELM 4-505 is a T1 LED standoff manufactured by Bivar Inc., featuring a black PVC construction with a 0.505" (12.83mm) vertical mounting height. This component is classified as Active product status and is ROHS3 compliant. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters align with the main part specifications, enabling direct replacement in applications where the specific dimensional and material characteristics are interchangeable within tolerance ranges.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the ELM 4-505 are qualified based on the following parameters:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• LED Type: T1 (all substitutes maintain T1 specification)
• Material: Black PVC (all substitutes use identical material)
• Mounting Style: Vertical (all substitutes are vertical mount)
• Manufacturer: Bivar Inc. (all substitutes from same manufacturer)
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant (all substitutes maintain compliance)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) (all substitutes maintain MSL-1)

Secondary Substitution Parameter:

• Length: Dimensional tolerance range 0.485" to 0.510" (12.32mm to 12.95mm)

The ELM 4-505 at 0.505" (12.83mm) falls within the dimensional range established by substitute parts ELM 2-500 (0.500"), ELM 2-510 (0.510"), and ELM 5-485 (0.485"), permitting substitution where application tolerance permits length variation of ±0.010" to ±0.025".

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All substitute parts—ELM 2-500, ELM 2-510, and ELM 5-485—maintain Active product status and ROHS3 compliance identical to the ELM 4-505. Selection among these alternatives is determined by application-specific length requirements within the 0.485" to 0.510" dimensional range.

ELM 2-500 (0.500"): Shortest substitute option, 0.005" below main part specification.

ELM 4-505 (0.505"): Primary specification; mid-range dimensional value.

ELM 2-510 (0.510"): Longest substitute option, 0.005" above main part specification.

ELM 5-485 (0.485"): Lowest dimensional option, 0.020" below main part specification.

All parts carry identical electrical and material properties. Substitution is valid where PCB layout and component clearance accommodate the specified length variation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ELM 2-500 directly replace ELM 4-505?

A: ELM 2-500 is a parametric equivalent with identical LED type (T1), material (Black PVC), mounting style (vertical), and compliance certifications. The length difference is 0.005" (0.13mm). Direct replacement is valid where application tolerance accommodates this dimensional variation.

Q: What is the maximum length variation among substitute parts?

A: The substitute group spans 0.485" to 0.510", representing a total range of 0.025" (0.64mm). The ELM 4-505 at 0.505" is positioned centrally within this range.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. ELM 2-500, ELM 2-510, and ELM 5-485 are all ROHS3 compliant with Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited), matching the ELM 4-505 specification.

Q: Do substitute parts use the same packaging?

A: Yes. All parts in this equivalency group are supplied in Bag packaging.

Q: Which substitute has the highest inventory availability?

A: ELM 5-485 has 10,054 pieces in stock, followed by ELM 2-500 with 4,519 pieces, and ELM 2-510 with 1,846 pieces. The main part ELM 4-505 has 797 pieces available.

Q: Can I use ELM 5-485 if my application requires the shortest possible standoff?

A: ELM 5-485 at 0.485" is the shortest option in the substitute group. Selection depends on whether your application tolerance permits a 0.020" reduction from the ELM 4-505 specification.
