ELM 4-595 LED Standoff Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELM 4-595 is a T1 LED standoff manufactured by Bivar Inc., designed for vertical mounting applications with a 0.595" (15.11mm) 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 inventory constraints, lead time requirements, or application-specific dimensional tolerances necessitate alternative components within the same product series.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the ELM 4-595 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

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

Variable Parameter (Substitution Basis):

• Length: 0.595" (15.11mm) for primary part; alternative lengths within the ELM 4 series qualify as substitutes

The ELM 4-600 is classified as a parametric equivalent because it maintains all mandatory matching parameters while varying only in length specification (0.600" vs. 0.595"). This dimensional variance falls within the tolerance envelope of the ELM 4 series design, permitting substitution in applications where the 0.050" (0.13mm) length difference is accommodated by the mechanical assembly.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the ELM 4-595 and ELM 4-600 maintain Active product status with full ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating, confirming suitability for current production and long-term storage without moisture control requirements. Selection between these parts is determined by mechanical assembly constraints and dimensional specifications of the target application.

The ELM 4-595 is the primary specification when the 0.595" (15.11mm) length is explicitly required by the mechanical design. The ELM 4-600 serves as a substitute when the 0.050" (0.13mm) length increase is accommodated within the assembly tolerance stack-up and when inventory or lead time considerations favor the substitute part.

Both parts share identical electrical and material properties, ensuring functional equivalence in LED standoff applications. The selection decision is purely mechanical in nature and depends on the specific mounting assembly geometry.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the ELM 4-600 be used in place of the ELM 4-595?

A: The ELM 4-600 is a parametric equivalent substitute when the mechanical assembly accommodates the 0.050" (0.13mm) length difference. Both parts are identical in all other specifications including LED type, material, lead configuration, and compliance ratings.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two parts?

A: The only difference is the standoff length: ELM 4-595 measures 0.595" (15.11mm), while ELM 4-600 measures 0.600" (15.24mm). All other parameters including manufacturer, series, LED type, material, and certifications are identical.

Q: Are both parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes, both the ELM 4-595 and ELM 4-600 are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 rating, indicating unlimited shelf life without moisture control.

Q: What does the "ELM 4" series designation indicate?

A: The ELM 4 series represents a family of T1 LED standoffs manufactured by Bivar Inc. in black PVC material with 3MM 2-lead vertical mount configuration. Parts within this series vary primarily in length specification.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in all applications?

A: Interchangeability depends on the mechanical assembly design. The 0.050" length difference must be evaluated against the application's tolerance requirements and mounting geometry before substitution.
