ELM 5-135 LED Standoff Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELM 5-135 is an active T1 LED standoff component manufactured by Bivar Inc., designed for vertical mounting applications with a 0.135" (3.43mm) height specification. This Black PVC standoff is essential for applications requiring precise LED positioning and alignment in circuit board assemblies. The component maintains ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity tolerance, making it suitable for standard environmental conditions. Finding equivalent or substitute models may be necessary due to inventory constraints, lead time requirements, or design flexibility in applications where minor dimensional variations are acceptable.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the ELM 5-135 is determined by the following key allowed parameters:

• Height (Length): The dimensional specification of 0.135" (3.43mm) defines the primary functional characteristic. Substitute components may vary within the ELM 5 series with alternative height specifications.
• LED Type: T1 classification must remain consistent to ensure mechanical compatibility with LED mounting interfaces.
• Material and Color: Black PVC composition ensures consistent physical and thermal properties across equivalent parts.
• Series Compatibility: All substitutes must belong to the ELM 5 series manufactured by Bivar Inc. to maintain product line consistency and supplier continuity.
• Compliance: ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating must be maintained across substitute selections.

The ELM 5-130 is identified as a parametric equivalent within the same series, differing only in the specified height dimension while maintaining all other critical specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The ELM 5-135 maintains active product status with full ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity tolerance, qualifying it as the primary selection for new designs. The ELM 5-130 serves as a validated substitute within the same product line, retaining identical compliance certifications and material specifications. Selection between these parts depends on dimensional requirements specific to the application. Both components are sourced from Bivar Inc. and certified to the same regulatory standards, ensuring consistent quality and supply chain continuity. Current inventory levels support production requirements for both variants.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What is the primary difference between ELM 5-135 and ELM 5-130? A: The dimensional height specification differs by 0.005" (0.13mm), with ELM 5-135 at 0.135" (3.43mm) and ELM 5-130 at 0.130" (3.30mm). All other electrical, mechanical, and compliance parameters remain identical.

Q: Can ELM 5-130 be used as a direct substitute for ELM 5-135? A: Substitution is valid when the application permits the height variation of 0.005" (0.13mm). Both components share identical LED type (T1), material (Black PVC), series affiliation (ELM 5), and compliance status (ROHS3 Compliant). Application-specific spatial constraints must be evaluated.

Q: Are both parts subject to the same regulatory compliance requirements? A: Both ELM 5-135 and ELM 5-130 are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating and classified under ECCN EAR99. No compliance differences exist between the two variants.

Q: What packaging format is used for both parts? A: Both components are supplied in Bag packaging, consistent with standard handling and storage requirements for this product category.

Q: Are there inventory considerations when selecting between these substitutes? A: Current inventory levels indicate 1062 pieces of ELM 5-135 and 1461 pieces of ELM 5-130 are in stock. Both variants maintain adequate supply for production requirements.
