ELM 5-080 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELM 5-080 is a T1 LED standoff manufactured by Bivar Inc., designed for vertical mounting applications with a 0.080" (2.03mm) length specification. This component features a black PVC construction and accommodates standard T1 LED packages with a 2-lead configuration. The part maintains Active product status and is ROHS3 compliant with unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1). Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters align with the original specification, enabling direct functional replacement in applications where the primary part becomes unavailable or inventory constraints require alternative sourcing.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The ELM 2-080 qualifies as a parametric equivalent to the ELM 5-080 based on alignment of critical mechanical and electrical parameters. Both parts share identical specifications for LED type (T1), physical length (0.080" / 2.03mm), material composition (black PVC), lead configuration (2-lead), and mounting orientation (vertical). Both components maintain ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating, ensuring compatibility in applications requiring these certifications. The substitution is valid where the ELM 5 series availability is constrained and the ELM 2 series can fulfill the identical functional role within the assembly.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the ELM 5-080 and ELM 2-080 are Active products with full ROHS3 compliance and identical MSL 1 ratings, establishing functional equivalence for component selection. The ELM 2-080 maintains higher inventory availability (23,989 pcs) compared to the ELM 5-080 (966 pcs), supporting supply chain continuity. Selection between these parts depends on inventory status and procurement lead time requirements rather than technical performance differentiation. Both parts satisfy identical mechanical and electrical interface requirements within vertical-mount LED standoff applications. ECCN classification (EAR99) and HTSUS coding alignment confirm regulatory equivalence for export and tariff purposes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the ELM 2-080 directly replace the ELM 5-080 in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical specifications for LED type (T1), physical dimensions (0.080" length), material (black PVC), lead configuration (2-lead), and mounting orientation (vertical). No design modifications are required for direct substitution.

Q: Are there differences in compliance certifications between these parts?

A: No. Both the ELM 5-080 and ELM 2-080 maintain ROHS3 compliance, MSL 1 rating, and EAR99 ECCN classification. Regulatory requirements are equivalent.

Q: What distinguishes the ELM 5 series from the ELM 2 series?

A: The provided specifications indicate both series share identical mechanical and electrical parameters for the 0.080" length variant. Series designation reflects Bivar Inc. product line organization rather than functional differentiation at this specification level.

Q: Is the ELM 2-080 suitable for applications with moisture exposure?

A: Both parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions. Standard handling and storage practices apply without special moisture control requirements.

Q: How should packaging be considered when selecting between these parts?

A: Both parts are supplied in Bag packaging. Packaging format does not affect functional compatibility; selection should prioritize inventory availability and procurement timeline requirements.
