ELM 5-105 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELM 5-105 is a T1 LED standoff manufactured by Bivar Inc., designed for vertical surface mount applications. This component features a black PVC construction with a 0.105" (2.67mm) height and accommodates T1 LED packages with 2-lead configurations. The part maintains Active product status and is ROHS3 compliant. Identification of substitute parts becomes necessary when inventory constraints, lead time requirements, or application-specific dimensional tolerances necessitate alternative component selection within the same functional category.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The ELM 2-100 qualifies as a parametric equivalent to the ELM 5-105 based on the following shared electrical and mechanical criteria:

• LED Type Compatibility: Both parts accommodate T1 LED packages
• Lead Configuration: Both feature 2-lead configurations
• Material Specification: Both utilize black PVC construction
• Mounting Orientation: Both support vertical surface mount applications
• Regulatory Compliance: Both maintain ROHS3 compliance status
• Moisture Sensitivity: Both are rated MSL 1 (Unlimited)

The primary dimensional difference between these parts is the height specification: ELM 5-105 measures 0.105" (2.67mm) while ELM 2-100 measures 0.100" (2.54mm). This 0.005" (0.13mm) differential represents a within-tolerance variation suitable for applications where precise standoff height is not a critical design constraint.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the ELM 5-105 and ELM 2-100 maintain Active product status, ensuring continued manufacturer support and availability. Both parts satisfy ROHS3 compliance requirements for regulated applications. Selection between these components should be based on specific application height requirements: the ELM 5-105 is specified for applications requiring 0.105" (2.67mm) standoff height, while the ELM 2-100 is specified for applications requiring 0.100" (2.54mm) standoff height. The 0.005" (0.13mm) height differential must be evaluated against application-specific dimensional constraints, printed circuit board layout, and LED lens clearance requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What is the primary difference between ELM 5-105 and ELM 2-100?

A: The ELM 5-105 provides a 0.105" (2.67mm) height standoff, while the ELM 2-100 provides a 0.100" (2.54mm) height standoff. All other electrical and mechanical parameters remain identical.

Q: Can ELM 2-100 be used as a direct replacement for ELM 5-105?

A: Both parts share identical LED type, lead configuration, material, and compliance characteristics. Substitution is permissible only when the 0.005" (0.13mm) height reduction does not affect circuit assembly requirements or LED lens alignment.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Both the ELM 5-105 and ELM 2-100 are ROHS3 compliant and suitable for regulated applications.

Q: What is the Moisture Sensitivity Level for these components?

A: Both parts are rated MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity constraints and unlimited shelf life under standard storage conditions.

Q: How do the series designations differ?

A: The ELM 5-105 belongs to the ELM 5 series with base product number ELM 5-1, while the ELM 2-100 belongs to the ELM 2 series with base product number ELM2-1. The series distinction reflects design generation or manufacturing process variation while maintaining functional compatibility.
