ELM 5-15MM LED Standoff Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELM 5-15MM is a T1 LED standoff manufactured by Bivar Inc., designed for vertical mounting applications with a 0.590" (14.99mm) length. This component is constructed from black PVC material and accommodates 3mm LED configurations with 2-lead connections. The part maintains Active product status with full ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1). Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters align with the original specification, enabling direct replacement in applications where dimensional and material tolerances permit.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the ELM 5-15MM are identified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional and mechanical compatibility:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• LED Type: T1 configuration
• Material: Black PVC construction
• LED Configuration: 3MM 2-Lead
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: MSL 1 (Unlimited)
• Manufacturer: Bivar Inc.

Secondary Consideration:

• Length tolerance: Parts with length specifications within the mechanical envelope of the application

The ELM 4-600 is identified as a parametric equivalent based on matching LED type, material composition, lead configuration, compliance certifications, and moisture sensitivity rating. The primary dimensional difference is length specification (0.600" versus 0.590"), which represents a 0.010" (0.25mm) variation.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the ELM 5-15MM and ELM 4-600 maintain Active product status with identical ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 ratings. Selection between these parts is determined by mechanical fit requirements within the target application. The 0.010" (0.25mm) length differential must be evaluated against application-specific dimensional constraints. Both parts are manufactured by Bivar Inc. with identical material composition, LED type specification, and lead configuration, ensuring electrical and mechanical compatibility within tolerance specifications. Inventory availability for both parts supports production planning requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What determines if ELM 4-600 can replace ELM 5-15MM?

A: Substitution is valid when the application mechanical envelope accommodates the 0.600" (15.24mm) length of the ELM 4-600 in place of the 0.590" (14.99mm) ELM 5-15MM. Both parts share identical LED type (T1), material (black PVC), lead configuration (3MM 2-Lead), and compliance certifications (ROHS3, MSL 1).

Q: Are there electrical differences between these parts?

A: No electrical differences exist. Both parts are T1 LED standoffs with 2-lead configurations and identical electrical specifications.

Q: What is the length difference and does it matter?

A: The ELM 4-600 is 0.010" (0.25mm) longer than the ELM 5-15MM. This difference is significant only if the application has strict height constraints or mounting depth limitations.

Q: Do both parts have the same compliance certifications?

A: Yes. Both the ELM 5-15MM and ELM 4-600 are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating.

Q: Can I use these parts interchangeably in all applications?

A: Interchangeability depends on mechanical fit. The 0.010" length difference must be evaluated against specific application requirements. Electrical and material specifications are identical.

Q: What packaging format is used for both parts?

A: Both parts are supplied in Bag packaging format.
