ELM 4-885 LED Standoff Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELM 4-885 is an active production T1 LED standoff manufactured by Bivar Inc. in black PVC material with a length of 0.885" (22.48mm). This component is designed for vertical mounting applications requiring precise standoff height. Substitute parts are identified when product availability constraints, supply chain discontinuities, or inventory limitations necessitate alternative components that maintain functional compatibility within the specified parameter tolerance bands.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The ELM 5-23MM qualifies as a parametric equivalent based on the following critical substitution parameters:

• LED Type: Identical T1 specification
• Material: Identical PVC construction
• Color: Identical black finish
• Manufacturer: Same source (Bivar Inc.)
• RoHS Compliance: Identical ROHS3 certification
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: Identical MSL 1 rating

The primary distinction between the main part and substitute is the length parameter: ELM 4-885 measures 0.885" (22.48mm) while ELM 5-23MM measures 0.910" (23.11mm), representing a 0.025" (0.63mm) height differential. This dimensional variance falls within acceptable tolerance bands for many LED mounting applications where precise standoff height is not a critical design constraint.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both ELM 4-885 and ELM 5-23MM are active production components from an identical manufacturer with identical RoHS3 compliance certification and MSL 1 rating. The ELM 4-885 is specified when the exact 0.885" (22.48mm) standoff height is required by design constraints. The ELM 5-23MM serves as a functional alternative with 7087 pieces currently available in inventory, compared to 1134 pieces for the primary part. Selection between these parts should be based on application-specific tolerance requirements for the 0.025" (0.63mm) length differential and current inventory availability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ELM 5-23MM replace ELM 4-885 in my design?

A: ELM 5-23MM is dimensionally larger by 0.025" (0.63mm). Substitution is permissible only when the application permits this height variance without affecting circuit board clearances, component spacing, or mechanical assembly requirements.

Q: Are the material and construction identical between these parts?

A: Both components are manufactured from identical black PVC material by Bivar Inc. and feature the same T1 LED accommodation, ensuring mechanical and functional compatibility with respect to mounting surface and LED interface.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to both parts?

A: Both ELM 4-885 and ELM 5-23MM are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 rating, suitable for applications requiring regulatory compliance in these certification categories.

Q: Why would I choose one part over the other?

A: Select ELM 4-885 when precise 0.885" (22.48mm) standoff height is specified in design documentation. Select ELM 5-23MM when the additional 0.025" (0.63mm) height is acceptable and inventory availability of the primary part is constrained.

Q: Do both parts use identical packaging?

A: Both components are supplied in bag packaging format, maintaining consistent handling and storage requirements.
