ELM 5-16MM

Part Overview

The ELM 5-16MM is a T1 LED standoff in black PVC with a length of 0.630" (16.00mm), designed for vertical mounting of LEDs with a 3mm diameter and 2-lead configuration. The product is currently Active and ROHS3 Compliant. Alternative equivalent parts may be required due to inventory considerations, application-specific mechanical constraints, or design revision updates.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The ELM 5-16MM has one parametric equivalent: ELM 4-600. Substitution is permissible based on the following parameters being within acceptable tolerances:

• LED Type: Both parts use T1 LED standoffs
• Material: Both are manufactured from black PVC
• LED Diameter: Both accommodate 3mm diameter LEDs
• Lead Configuration: Both support 2-lead LED components
• RoHS Status: Both are ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: Both have MSL 1 (Unlimited)

The primary technical distinction between these parts is length: the ELM 5-16MM measures 0.630" (16.00mm), while the ELM 4-600 measures 0.600" (15.24mm), a difference of 0.030" (0.76mm). This dimensional variation must be evaluated against specific application requirements for mechanical fit and LED standoff height.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the ELM 5-16MM and ELM 4-600 are Active products manufactured by Bivar Inc. with identical RoHS3 compliance and MSL ratings. The selection between these parts depends on the mechanical height requirement of the application. The ELM 4-600 provides a shorter standoff option at 0.600" (15.24mm), while the ELM 5-16MM offers the extended height of 0.630" (16.00mm). Design specifications must specify which dimensional variant is compatible with the intended mechanical assembly.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ELM 4-600 be directly substituted for ELM 5-16MM? A: Direct substitution is conditional on the application's mechanical tolerance for a 0.030" (0.76mm) reduction in standoff height. All other electrical and functional parameters are equivalent.

Q: What is the primary difference between these parts? A: The ELM 5-16MM and ELM 4-600 differ only in length. The ELM 5-16MM is 0.630" (16.00mm), while the ELM 4-600 is 0.600" (15.24mm).

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant? A: Yes, both the ELM 5-16MM and ELM 4-600 are ROHS3 Compliant with an MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited).

Q: What mounting configuration do these parts support? A: Both parts are T1 LED standoffs designed for vertical mounting of 3mm diameter, 2-lead LEDs in black PVC housings.

Q: Can either part be used for new designs? A: Yes, both parts have Active product status and are suitable for new applications. Selection should be based on the specific mechanical standoff height required by the design.
