Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

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

Matching Parameters:

• Manufacturer: Bivar Inc. (same manufacturer)
• LED Form Factor: T1 (identical)
• Material: PVC (identical)
• Color: Black (identical)
• Mounting Configuration: Vertical Surface Mount (identical)
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant (identical)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) (identical)
• ECCN Classification: EAR99 (identical)
• HTSUS Code: 3926.90.9985 (identical)

Length Variance: The ELM 5-23MM has a length of 0.910" (23.11mm) compared to the ELM 4-925 at 0.925" (23.50mm). This represents a 0.015" (0.39mm) difference within the dimensional tolerance range acceptable for T1 LED standoff substitution in standard mounting applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The ELM 5-23MM serves as a direct substitute for the ELM 4-925 based on identical compliance certifications and material specifications. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and carry an MSL rating of 1, indicating suitability for standard storage and handling conditions without specialized controls. The active production status of both components ensures supply chain continuity and consistent quality standards. The minor dimensional difference of 0.015" falls within standard manufacturing tolerances for LED standoff assemblies and does not affect functional compatibility in typical applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ELM 5-23MM replace ELM 4-925 in production? A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical and compliance characteristics. The 0.015" length difference is dimensionally compatible for standard T1 LED standoff applications.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between these parts? A: No. Both parts carry ROHS3 compliance and identical MSL ratings, confirming equivalent environmental suitability.

Q: Does the series number change affect part compatibility? A: No. The series designation (ELM 4 vs. ELM 5) reflects manufacturing lineage but does not impact functional parameters for this component category.

Q: What is the significance of the length tolerance? A: The 0.015" (0.39mm) length variance represents a standard tolerance range for PVC LED standoff manufacturing and does not compromise mechanical or electrical function in mounting applications.

Q: Can either part be used interchangeably in new designs? A: Yes. Both parts meet identical specifications for the critical parameters that determine T1 LED standoff function: material, form factor, compliance status, and moisture sensitivity classification.
