ELM 4-585 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELM 4-585 is a T1 LED Standoff manufactured by Bivar Inc., constructed from black PVC material with a vertical mount configuration. This component is classified as an active product and maintains full ROHS3 compliance. LED standoffs serve as mechanical spacers and alignment components for T1-sized LEDs in vertical mounting applications. Alternative models may be required when dimensional specifications differ from circuit board layout requirements or when inventory constraints necessitate substitution with compatible variants.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The ELM 4-585 belongs to the ELM 4 series of T1 LED standoffs manufactured by Bivar Inc. Substitution within this product family is determined by the following critical parameters:

• LED Type: T1 (mandatory match)
• Mount Configuration: Vertical (mandatory match)
• Material Composition: PVC (mandatory match)
• Color: Black (mandatory match)
• Series Classification: ELM 4 (mandatory match)
• Manufacturer: Bivar Inc. (mandatory match)
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant (mandatory match)

The primary variable parameter within the substitution group is Length, which determines the overall standoff height. The ELM 4-585 with a length of 0.585" (14.86mm) is equivalent to the ELM 4-600 variant, which features a length of 0.600" (15.24mm). Both parts maintain identical electrical characteristics, material composition, and compliance certifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the ELM 4-585 and ELM 4-600 are active products with equivalent compliance certifications (ROHS3 Compliant) and identical moisture sensitivity ratings (MSL 1 - Unlimited). Selection between these variants is determined solely by the required standoff length for the specific circuit board application. The ELM 4-585 provides a length of 0.585" (14.86mm), while the ELM 4-600 offers an additional 0.015" (0.38mm) height at 0.600" (15.24mm). Both parts are manufactured by Bivar Inc. and maintain identical material, color, and mounting characteristics, ensuring mechanical and electrical compatibility within the substitution group.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the ELM 4-600 be used as a direct substitute for the ELM 4-585? A: Substitution is determined by dimensional requirements. The ELM 4-600 differs only in length (0.600" versus 0.585"), representing a 0.015" increase in standoff height. Both parts are mechanically and electrically identical in all other parameters. Substitution is permissible only when the increased length does not conflict with circuit board layout constraints.

Q: What parameters must remain constant for valid substitution within the ELM 4 series? A: The following parameters must remain unchanged for substitution validity: LED Type (T1), Mount Configuration (Vertical), Material (PVC), Color (Black), Manufacturer (Bivar Inc.), and RoHS Compliance (ROHS3). Length is the only variable parameter within the substitution group.

Q: Are both parts equivalent in terms of compliance and reliability? A: Both the ELM 4-585 and ELM 4-600 maintain ROHS3 compliance and identical Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL 1). Both are classified as active products with full manufacturing support. Compliance and reliability characteristics are identical between the two variants.

Q: What is the significance of the length difference between these parts? A: The length difference of 0.015" (0.38mm) affects the vertical standoff height of the T1 LED. This difference determines clearance above the circuit board surface. Selection must account for LED housing envelope and available vertical space in the assembly.
