ELM 4-610 LED Standoff Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELM 4-610 is a T1 LED standoff manufactured by Bivar Inc., designed for vertical mounting applications with a 0.610" (15.50mm) 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. Equivalent and substitute parts are identified when inventory constraints, lead time requirements, or design flexibility necessitate alternative components that maintain functional compatibility within specified parameter tolerances.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the ELM 4-610 is determined by strict adherence to the following parameters:

Critical Parameters for Substitution:

• Manufacturer: Bivar Inc. (same manufacturer required)
• Series: ELM 4 (same series designation)
• LED Type: T1 (identical LED form factor)
• Material: PVC (same material composition)
• Lead Configuration: 2LD (same lead count and arrangement)
• Color: Black (same color specification)
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant (same compliance level)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (same MSL rating)

Allowable Variation Parameter:

• Length: Tolerance within the ELM 4 series design envelope (0.600" to 0.610")

The ELM 4-600 qualifies as a parametric equivalent because it maintains all critical parameters while varying only in length by 0.010" (0.26mm), remaining within the mechanical tolerance specifications of the ELM 4 series for vertical mounting applications.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

ELM 4-610 Primary Selection: The ELM 4-610 is the specified component and maintains Active product status with full ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating. Current inventory of 684 pieces supports immediate procurement requirements.

ELM 4-600 Substitute Selection: The ELM 4-600 is a valid parametric equivalent within the ELM 4 series. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical characteristics except for a 0.010" length differential. The ELM 4-600 maintains Active product status, ROHS3 compliance, and MSL 1 rating. Higher inventory availability (1058 pieces) may support extended production schedules or supply chain continuity. The length variation of 0.010" (0.26mm) falls within standard mechanical tolerances for vertical LED standoff mounting applications within the ELM 4 series design specification.

Selection between ELM 4-610 and ELM 4-600 is determined by application-specific mechanical clearance requirements and inventory availability, not by functional or compliance differences.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ELM 4-600 be used as a direct replacement for ELM 4-610?

A: The ELM 4-600 is a parametric equivalent within the ELM 4 series. Both parts are identical in all critical parameters: manufacturer, series, LED type, material, lead configuration, color, and compliance ratings. The only difference is length: ELM 4-610 is 0.610" (15.50mm) while ELM 4-600 is 0.600" (15.24mm). Substitution is valid when the 0.010" (0.26mm) length difference does not violate application-specific mechanical clearance or mounting height requirements.

Q: What parameters must remain identical for substitution?

A: The following parameters must be identical: Bivar Inc. manufacturer designation, ELM 4 series, T1 LED type, black color, PVC material, 2-lead configuration, ROHS3 compliance, and MSL 1 rating. Length is the only allowable variable within the ELM 4 series design envelope.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences between ELM 4-610 and ELM 4-600?

A: No. Both parts carry identical ROHS3 compliance status, MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, ECCN EAR99 classification, and HTSUS code 3926.90.9985. Both maintain Active product status.

Q: What is the significance of the 0.010" length difference?

A: The 0.010" (0.26mm) length variation represents a minor mechanical difference within standard manufacturing tolerances for the ELM 4 series. This difference is allowable for vertical mounting applications where the standoff height does not create clearance conflicts with adjacent components or enclosure constraints.

Q: How does packaging affect substitution?

A: Both ELM 4-610 and ELM 4-600 are supplied in Bag packaging. Packaging format is identical and does not restrict substitution eligibility.

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs?

A: Component selection is based on application-specific mechanical requirements and inventory availability. Both parts are Active and fully compliant. The ELM 4-610 specification should be used if the 0.610" length is a design requirement. The ELM 4-600 is substitutable when the shorter 0.600" length is compatible with mechanical clearance specifications.
