ELM 5-1.5MM LED Holder T1 PVC Black

Part Overview

The ELM 5-1.5MM is an active T1 LED standoff holder manufactured by Bivar Inc. in black PVC material with a 0.059" (1.50mm) length specification. This component is ROHS3 compliant and classified as an active product with unlimited moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1). Finding substitute parts becomes necessary when the primary part experiences supply constraints, inventory limitations, or when design requirements permit functional equivalents with compatible electrical and mechanical specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the ELM 5-1.5MM are determined by strict adherence to the following key parameters:

• LED Type: All substitutes must support T1 LED standards
• Material: All substitutes must be manufactured from PVC
• Color: All substitutes must be black
• RoHS Compliance: All substitutes must maintain ROHS3 compliance
• Manufacturer: All substitutes are manufactured by Bivar Inc.
• Length Tolerance: Substitutes are functionally equivalent within the 0.059" to 0.060" (1.50mm to 1.52mm) length range

The ELM 4-060 and ELM 5-060 parts satisfy these criteria despite length variations of ±0.001" (0.02mm). Both are active products with ROHS3 compliance, PVC construction, black color, and T1 LED accommodation. The length differential of 0.001" (0.02mm) falls within typical mechanical tolerance standards for LED holder applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts—ELM 5-1.5MM, ELM 4-060, and ELM 5-060—carry active product status and maintain ROHS3 compliance. Selection between these parts should be based on availability and design accommodation of the length variation. The ELM 5-1.5MM and ELM 5-060 share the same series designation (ELM 5), while the ELM 4-060 represents an alternative series within the same product family. All parts are classified as MSL 1 (Unlimited), eliminating moisture sensitivity as a differentiating factor in selection criteria.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ELM 4-060 and ELM 5-060 be used interchangeably with ELM 5-1.5MM?

A: Both ELM 4-060 and ELM 5-060 are functionally equivalent substitutes. All three parts share identical LED type (T1), material (PVC), color (black), and RoHS compliance status. The length differential of 0.001" (0.02mm) between the main part and substitutes is within standard mechanical tolerance for LED holder applications.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between the substitute parts?

A: All three parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 (Unlimited) ratings. Compliance certification is equivalent across all substitute relationships.

Q: What is the primary difference between ELM 4-060 and ELM 5-060?

A: The primary difference is series designation (ELM 4 versus ELM 5). Both parts share identical length (0.060"), LED type (T1), material (PVC), color (black), and compliance certifications. Series designation reflects manufacturing lineage rather than functional capability differences.

Q: Is the 0.001" length difference critical to part selection?

A: The 0.001" (0.02mm) length variation between the main part and substitutes falls within typical mechanical tolerance standards for LED standoff holders. Part selection should account for specific PCB mounting clearances and LED insertion depth requirements of the application.
