ELM 5-1MM LED Standoff Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELM 5-1MM is a T1 LED standoff manufactured by Bivar Inc., designed for vertical mounting applications with a 1MM (0.040") height specification. This component is constructed from black PVC material and accommodates T1 LED packages with 2-lead configurations. The part is currently in active production status with ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1).

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters are maintained across the same product category, ensuring functional interchangeability in circuit board assembly applications.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The ELM 5-1MM qualifies ELM 4-1MM as a parametric equivalent based on the following matching criteria:

Matching Parameters:

• LED Type: T1 (identical)
• Height: 0.040" (1.02mm) (identical)
• Material: Black PVC (identical)
• Lead Configuration: 2LD (identical)
• Mounting Orientation: Vertical (identical)
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant (identical)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) (identical)
• Product Status: Active (identical)

Series Differentiation: The primary distinction between these parts is the series designation: ELM 5 (main part) versus ELM 4 (substitute). Both parts maintain identical mechanical and electrical specifications within the T1 LED standoff category, making them functionally interchangeable for applications requiring these exact parameters.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both ELM 5-1MM and ELM 4-1MM are suitable for applications requiring T1 LED standoffs with 1MM height specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on:

Availability and Inventory: ELM 4-1MM currently maintains 1213 pieces in stock, while ELM 5-1MM maintains 1165 pieces. Both quantities support production requirements for this component category.

Compliance Requirements: Both parts satisfy ROHS3 compliance requirements and carry identical export classification (EAR99) and tariff codes (3926.90.9985), making them equivalent for regulatory and procurement purposes.

Product Status: Both parts maintain active production status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain stability for long-term applications.

Mechanical Compatibility: The identical height (0.040"), material composition (black PVC), and mounting orientation (vertical) ensure direct mechanical interchangeability in PCB assembly processes without design modifications.
