ELM 5-110 LED Standoff Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELM 5-110 is a T1 LED standoff manufactured by Bivar Inc. in black PVC material with a 0.110" (2.79mm) mounting height. This component is designed for vertical LED mounting applications requiring standardized mechanical interfaces. The part is currently active in production status and RoHS3 compliant, making it suitable for both new designs and maintenance applications. Identifying equivalent substitute parts ensures design flexibility and supply chain continuity when the primary part becomes unavailable or when alternative mechanical specifications are required within allowable tolerances.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The ELM 4-115 qualifies as a parametric equivalent substitute based on the following criteria shared between the main part and substitute:

Common Parameters:

• LED Type: T1 (identical LED form factor)
• Material: Black PVC (identical material composition and color)
• Product Status: Active (both parts in current production)
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant (identical regulatory compliance)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) (identical MSL rating)
• ECCN Code: EAR99 (identical export classification)
• HTSUS Code: 3926.90.9985 (identical tariff classification)
• Packaging: Bag (identical packaging format)

Allowable Parameter Variation:

• Length (Height): 0.110" (2.79mm) vs. 0.115" (2.92mm) — A 0.005" (0.13mm) height difference exists between the main part and substitute. This dimensional tolerance falls within the range of mechanical interchangeability for T1 LED standoff mounting applications where vertical stack height adjustment of this magnitude is typically accommodated by standard PCB design practices.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the ELM 5-110 and ELM 4-115 are active production parts manufactured by Bivar Inc. with identical RoHS3 compliance and regulatory classifications. Selection between these parts should be based on the specific mechanical height requirement of the application. The ELM 5-110 (0.110" height) is the primary specification, while the ELM 4-115 (0.115" height) serves as a mechanical alternative when the additional 0.005" (0.13mm) standoff height is compatible with the circuit board layout and assembly constraints. Both parts carry MSL Level 1 rating, eliminating moisture sensitivity considerations in typical storage and handling environments. Compliance certifications (ROHS3, EAR99, HTSUS 3926.90.9985) are equivalent, supporting interchangeability from a regulatory perspective.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the ELM 4-115 directly replace the ELM 5-110 in any application? A: The ELM 4-115 functions as a substitute where the 0.005" (0.13mm) additional height is mechanically acceptable. Applications with tight vertical clearance constraints or precise height requirements must evaluate the dimensional difference against specific PCB and assembly specifications.

Q: Are there differences in LED compatibility between these parts? A: Both parts accommodate T1 LED form factors with identical mechanical interfaces. No LED compatibility differences exist between the ELM 5-110 and ELM 4-115.

Q: Do both parts meet the same regulatory requirements? A: Both parts are RoHS3 compliant and carry identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications, ensuring equivalent regulatory acceptance in standard applications.

Q: What is the significance of the ELM 5 and ELM 4 series designations? A: The series designation reflects the product line hierarchy within Bivar Inc.'s standoff portfolio. The primary differences are contained in the series-specific mechanical dimensions rather than material composition or functional capabilities.

Q: Are moisture sensitivity considerations relevant to part selection? A: Both parts carry MSL Level 1 (Unlimited) ratings, indicating no moisture sensitivity constraints under standard storage conditions. Moisture sensitivity is not a differentiating factor between these substitutes.

Q: What packaging considerations apply when ordering the ELM 4-115 as a substitute? A: Both parts use identical bag packaging format. No packaging compatibility issues or additional handling requirements exist when transitioning from ELM 5-110 to ELM 4-115 specification.
