ELM 5-10MM LED Standoff Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELM 5-10MM is a T1 LED standoff manufactured by Bivar Inc., designed for vertical mounting applications with a 0.390" (9.91mm) length. This component is constructed from black PVC material and accommodates 3MM LED configurations with 2-lead connections. The part maintains Active product status and is ROHS3 compliant, making it suitable for current production environments.

Substitute parts are identified when they maintain functional equivalence across critical electrical and mechanical parameters, including LED type, lead configuration, mounting orientation, and physical dimensions within acceptable tolerances.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the ELM 5-10MM is determined by strict alignment across the following critical parameters:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• LED Type: T1 (fixed requirement)
• LED Configuration: 3MM, 2-Lead (fixed requirement)
• Mounting Orientation: Vertical (fixed requirement)
• Color: Black (fixed requirement)
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant (fixed requirement)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) (fixed requirement)

Secondary Substitution Criteria:

• Length: 0.390" ± tolerance (mechanical fit parameter)
• Material: PVC or equivalent mechanical properties (construction parameter)

The identified substitutes—ELM 5-390 and H-201C—meet all primary criteria. ELM 5-390 maintains identical specifications including PVC material and exact length. H-201C substitutes with nylon material and a length of 0.380" (9.65mm), representing a 0.010" (0.26mm) dimensional variance within acceptable mechanical tolerance for standoff applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

ELM 5-390 Selection: ELM 5-390 is a direct parametric equivalent to ELM 5-10MM. Both parts share identical specifications across all critical parameters: T1 LED type, 0.390" length, PVC material, black color, 3MM 2-lead configuration, and vertical mounting orientation. Both maintain Active product status and ROHS3 compliance. This substitute provides the highest degree of functional and mechanical interchangeability.

H-201C Selection: H-201C is a parametric equivalent with a single material variance (nylon instead of PVC) and a dimensional variance of 0.010" (0.26mm) in length. The part maintains all electrical and compliance specifications: T1 LED type, 3MM 2-lead configuration, vertical mounting, black color, Active status, and ROHS3 compliance. The nylon material and reduced length represent acceptable substitution within mechanical tolerance ranges for standoff applications.

Both substitutes are manufactured by Bivar Inc., ensuring consistent quality and design standards. Selection between ELM 5-390 and H-201C depends on specific application requirements regarding material properties and dimensional constraints.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What makes ELM 5-390 a direct substitute for ELM 5-10MM?

A: ELM 5-390 maintains identical specifications across all critical parameters: LED type (T1), length (0.390"), material (PVC), color (black), LED configuration (3MM 2-lead), mounting orientation (vertical), and compliance certifications (ROHS3). Both parts are Active products from Bivar Inc.

Q: Can H-201C replace ELM 5-10MM in all applications?

A: H-201C is a parametric equivalent with two differences: material composition (nylon vs. PVC) and length (0.380" vs. 0.390"). The 0.010" dimensional difference falls within acceptable mechanical tolerance for standoff applications. Material selection depends on application-specific requirements for thermal properties, chemical resistance, or mechanical durability.

Q: Are all three parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. ELM 5-10MM, ELM 5-390, and H-201C all carry ROHS3 Compliant certification and maintain MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), suitable for unrestricted storage and handling.

Q: What is the significance of the T1 LED type designation?

A: T1 designates the LED package form factor and physical dimensions. All three parts are designed specifically for T1 LEDs with 3MM diameter and 2-lead configuration in vertical mounting orientation. This parameter is fixed across all substitutes.

Q: How do packaging quantities affect part selection?

A: All three parts are supplied in Bag packaging. Current inventory levels are: ELM 5-10MM (881 Pcs), ELM 5-390 (2242 Pcs), and H-201C (63104 Pcs). Inventory availability should be considered in procurement planning but does not affect functional substitution eligibility.

Q: What is the ECCN classification for these parts?

A: All three parts carry ECCN classification EAR99, indicating they are not subject to export control restrictions under the Export Administration Regulations.
