ELM 4-580 LED Standoff Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELM 4-580 is a T1 LED standoff manufactured by Bivar Inc., designed for vertical mounting applications with a 0.580" (14.73mm) 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 are identified when dimensional, material, or electrical specifications align within acceptable tolerances for the intended application, allowing for inventory flexibility and supply chain continuity.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The ELM 4-600 is identified as a parametric equivalent to the ELM 4-580 based on the following shared specifications:

Common Parameters:

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

Dimensional Variance: The primary difference between these parts is the standoff length. The ELM 4-580 provides 0.580" (14.73mm) height, while the ELM 4-600 provides 0.600" (15.24mm) height. This 0.020" (0.51mm) dimensional difference represents a length variance within the ELM 4 series design envelope. Both parts maintain identical material composition, electrical lead configuration, and compliance certifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the ELM 4-580 and ELM 4-600 maintain Active product status with ROHS3 compliance and identical Moisture Sensitivity Level ratings. Selection between these parts is determined by the mechanical height requirement of the application. The ELM 4-580 is specified for applications requiring 0.580" (14.73mm) standoff height, while the ELM 4-600 accommodates applications requiring 0.600" (15.24mm) standoff height. The 0.020" (0.51mm) dimensional difference must be evaluated against PCB layout constraints, component clearance requirements, and mechanical assembly specifications. Both parts are manufactured from identical PVC material with matching electrical lead configurations and environmental compliance certifications, ensuring functional equivalence within their respective dimensional specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the ELM 4-600 be used as a direct replacement for the ELM 4-580?

A: The ELM 4-600 and ELM 4-580 share identical material, electrical, and compliance specifications. Substitution is determined by the mechanical height requirement. The ELM 4-600 provides 0.020" (0.51mm) additional length. Direct replacement is possible only if the application accommodates the increased standoff height without violating PCB clearance or component spacing constraints.

Q: What are the critical parameters for substitution between ELM 4 series standoffs?

A: Substitution within the ELM 4 series is based on LED type (T1), material (PVC), color (Black), lead configuration (2LD), and compliance certifications (ROHS3, MSL 1). The standoff length is the primary variable parameter that determines part selection for specific applications.

Q: Are both parts suitable for current production environments?

A: Both the ELM 4-580 and ELM 4-600 maintain Active product status and ROHS3 compliance, confirming suitability for current production environments. Both parts carry Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited), indicating no special moisture handling requirements during storage or assembly.

Q: What is the packaging format for these parts?

A: Both the ELM 4-580 and ELM 4-600 are supplied in Bag packaging format.

Q: How do the inventory levels compare between these substitute parts?

A: The ELM 4-580 has 628 pieces in stock, while the ELM 4-600 has 1058 pieces in stock. Both are available as new original components.
