ELM 4-875 LED Standoff Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELM 4-875 is a T1 LED standoff manufactured by Bivar Inc., designed for vertical mounting applications with a 0.875" (22.22mm) 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 design flexibility necessitate alternative components that maintain equivalent electrical and mechanical functionality within the specified parameter range.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The ELM 4-875 has one identified parametric equivalent: ELM 5-23MM. Substitution eligibility is determined by the following criteria:

Substitution-Determining Parameters:

• LED Type: T1 (must match)
• Material: PVC (must match)
• Color: Black (must match)
• LED Configuration: 3MM 2-Lead (must match)
• Manufacturer: Bivar Inc. (must match)
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant (must match)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) (must match)
• Packaging: Bag (must match)

The ELM 5-23MM qualifies as a substitute based on identical compliance with all critical parameters. The length differential (0.910" versus 0.875") represents a minor mechanical variation within acceptable tolerance for vertical standoff applications where precise height specifications do not create functional constraints.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the ELM 4-875 and ELM 5-23MM maintain Active product status with identical RoHS3 compliance and MSL ratings. Selection between these components should be based on:

Inventory Availability: The ELM 5-23MM offers significantly higher stock levels (7087 pieces) compared to the ELM 4-875 (832 pieces), providing supply chain flexibility for high-volume production requirements.

Mechanical Fit: The length differential of 0.035" (0.89mm) between the two parts requires verification against specific PCB layout and enclosure constraints. Applications with strict height limitations must retain the ELM 4-875. Applications with flexible vertical spacing accommodate the ELM 5-23MM.

Compliance Continuity: Both parts satisfy identical regulatory requirements, ensuring no compliance-related restrictions on substitution.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the ELM 5-23MM directly replace the ELM 4-875 in all applications?

A: The ELM 5-23MM is mechanically and electrically equivalent to the ELM 4-875 for T1 LED standoff functionality. The 0.035" length increase must be evaluated against specific PCB and enclosure design constraints. Applications with fixed height requirements may require design modification to accommodate the substitute.

Q: What are the critical parameters that define substitution eligibility?

A: Substitution eligibility requires matching LED type (T1), material (PVC), color (Black), LED configuration (3MM 2-Lead), manufacturer (Bivar Inc.), RoHS compliance (ROHS3), MSL rating (1), and packaging format (Bag). Deviation in any of these parameters disqualifies a component as a direct substitute.

Q: Are there compliance or certification differences between the ELM 4-875 and ELM 5-23MM?

A: Both parts carry identical RoHS3 compliance, MSL ratings, ECCN classifications, and HTSUS codes. No compliance-related restrictions apply to substitution between these components.

Q: What inventory considerations apply to these parts?

A: The ELM 4-875 maintains 832 pieces in stock, while the ELM 5-23MM provides 7087 pieces. For applications where supply continuity is critical, the ELM 5-23MM offers superior availability.

Q: Does the length difference affect electrical performance?

A: The length differential is a mechanical characteristic only. Both parts function identically for T1 LED standoff applications. Electrical performance remains unchanged between the two components.
