ELM 5-100 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELM 5-100 is a T1 LED standoff manufactured by Bivar Inc., designed for vertical mounting applications with a 0.100" (2.54mm) length. This component features a black PVC construction and accommodates 3mm LED packages with 2-lead configurations. The part maintains Active product status and is ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 rating, indicating unlimited moisture sensitivity protection. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters align with the original specification, enabling component interchangeability in production and maintenance scenarios.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the ELM 5-100 is determined by matching the following critical parameters: LED type (T1), physical length (0.100"/2.54mm), material composition (black PVC), lead configuration (2-lead), and mounting orientation (vertical). Both the main part and substitute must maintain Active product status and ROHS3 compliance. The ELM 2-100 qualifies as a parametric equivalent because it shares identical specifications across all mechanical and electrical parameters that define functional interchangeability in the target application.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The ELM 2-100 provides direct substitution for the ELM 5-100 based on complete parameter alignment. Both components are manufactured by Bivar Inc., maintain Active product status, and carry ROHS3 compliance certification. The identical mechanical dimensions (0.100" length), material specification (black PVC), and electrical configuration (T1 LED, 2-lead) ensure functional equivalence in vertical mounting applications. Selection between these parts may be determined by inventory availability, supply chain considerations, or series-specific design requirements within the ELM product family.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What makes the ELM 2-100 a valid substitute for the ELM 5-100?

A: The ELM 2-100 matches all critical parameters of the ELM 5-100, including LED type (T1), physical length (0.100"/2.54mm), material (black PVC), lead configuration (2-lead), mounting orientation (vertical), and compliance certifications (ROHS3, MSL 1). Both parts are Active products from Bivar Inc.

Q: Are there any dimensional differences between these parts?

A: No. Both the ELM 5-100 and ELM 2-100 share identical length specifications of 0.100" (2.54mm) and are constructed from black PVC material with identical mechanical form factors.

Q: Do both parts meet the same regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. Both the ELM 5-100 and ELM 2-100 are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 rating, indicating equivalent environmental and moisture sensitivity classifications.

Q: What is the difference between the ELM 5 and ELM 2 series designations?

A: The series designation (ELM 5 versus ELM 2) identifies different product lines within the Bivar Inc. LED standoff family. Despite different series numbers, the ELM 2-100 and ELM 5-100 are parametrically equivalent for the specified 0.100" T1 vertical mount configuration.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in production?

A: Yes. The ELM 2-100 and ELM 5-100 are functionally interchangeable based on matching mechanical, electrical, and compliance parameters. Component selection may depend on inventory availability or design documentation requirements.

Q: What packaging format is used for these parts?

A: Both the ELM 5-100 and ELM 2-100 are supplied in bag packaging, suitable for standard component handling and storage procedures.
