ELM 4-510 LED Standoff Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELM 4-510 is a T1 LED standoff manufactured by Bivar Inc., featuring a black PVC construction with a 0.510" (12.95mm) vertical mounting height. This component is classified as an active product and is ROHS3 compliant. LED standoffs serve as mechanical spacers and alignment fixtures for T1 LED assemblies in electronic applications. Substitute parts may be required due to inventory availability, lead time constraints, or specific application height requirements within the compatible parameter range.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the ELM 4-510 is determined by the following parameters:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• LED Type: T1 (all substitute parts must be T1 compatible)
• Material: Black PVC (consistent across all alternatives)
• Mounting Configuration: Vertical (SR VERT designation)
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant (all substitutes maintain compliance)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) (all substitutes match MSL rating)

Secondary Consideration:

• Length Tolerance: Substitute parts vary within the range of 0.485" to 0.510" (12.32mm to 12.95mm), accommodating minor height variations in PCB assembly applications

All three substitute parts (ELM 2-510, ELM 2-500, ELM 5-485) meet the core electrical and mechanical compatibility requirements for direct substitution in T1 LED standoff applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

ELM 2-510: This part is dimensionally identical to the ELM 4-510 (0.510" length) and maintains all compliance certifications. Selection of ELM 2-510 is appropriate when inventory of the primary part is unavailable and identical height specification is required.

ELM 2-500: This part provides a 0.010" (0.25mm) reduction in height compared to the ELM 4-510. Selection is appropriate for applications where minor height reduction is acceptable and inventory availability is a priority.

ELM 5-485: This part provides a 0.025" (0.63mm) reduction in height compared to the ELM 4-510. Selection is appropriate for applications with height constraints or where the greatest inventory availability is required. This part maintains all electrical and compliance specifications.

All substitute parts are active products with ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating, ensuring compatibility with standard PCB assembly and storage conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ELM 2-510 be used as a direct replacement for ELM 4-510?

A: Yes. ELM 2-510 is dimensionally and functionally equivalent to ELM 4-510, with identical 0.510" (12.95mm) length, T1 LED compatibility, black PVC material, and ROHS3 compliance. Both parts are active products suitable for direct substitution.

Q: What is the maximum height difference between substitute parts?

A: The maximum height variation among all substitute parts is 0.025" (0.63mm), ranging from 0.485" (ELM 5-485) to 0.510" (ELM 4-510 and ELM 2-510). This variation must be evaluated against specific PCB assembly height requirements.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All substitute parts (ELM 2-510, ELM 2-500, ELM 5-485) are ROHS3 compliant and carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, matching the primary part specification.

Q: Do substitute parts use the same packaging as the main part?

A: Yes. All substitute parts are supplied in bag packaging, consistent with ELM 4-510 packaging specifications.

Q: Which substitute part has the highest inventory availability?

A: ELM 5-485 has the highest inventory level at 10,054 pieces in stock, compared to 1,846 pieces for ELM 2-510 and 4,519 pieces for ELM 2-500.

Q: Can height differences between substitute parts affect LED alignment?

A: Height differences must be evaluated within the context of specific PCB assembly design. The 0.025" maximum variation between parts may impact LED standoff height in applications with tight vertical clearance specifications.
