ELM 5-22MM LED Standoff Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELM 5-22MM is a T1 LED standoff manufactured by Bivar Inc., designed for vertical mounting applications with a 0.870" (22.10mm) length. This component is constructed from black PVC material and accommodates T1 LED packages with a 3mm lead spacing configuration. The part maintains Active product status and is ROHS3 compliant, making it suitable for current production environments. Substitute parts may be required due to inventory availability, application-specific dimensional requirements, or supply chain optimization.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the ELM 5-22MM is determined by the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Manufacturer: Bivar Inc.
• Series: ELM 5
• LED Type: T1
• Material: Black PVC
• Lead Spacing: 3mm
• Mounting Configuration: Vertical (SR VERT)
• Product Status: Active
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

Variable Parameter (Allows Substitution):

• Length: Dimensional tolerance within the ELM 5 series allows for length variations to accommodate different PCB standoff requirements

The ELM 5-23MM qualifies as a parametric equivalent because it maintains all mandatory matching parameters while providing an alternative length specification of 0.910" (23.11mm) instead of 0.870" (22.10mm).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the ELM 5-22MM and ELM 5-23MM maintain Active product status within the Bivar Inc. ELM 5 series. Selection between these parts is determined by the specific standoff height requirement of the application. The ELM 5-22MM provides a 0.870" (22.10mm) standoff height, while the ELM 5-23MM provides a 0.910" (23.11mm) standoff height. Both parts satisfy ROHS3 compliance requirements and carry identical Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 ratings, indicating no special handling requirements during storage or assembly. Component selection should be based on PCB design specifications and the required vertical clearance between the PCB surface and the mounted LED assembly.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ELM 5-23MM be used as a direct replacement for ELM 5-22MM?

A: The ELM 5-23MM is a parametric equivalent within the ELM 5 series but differs in length specification. Direct substitution is only appropriate if the application PCB design accommodates the 0.040" (1.01mm) additional height of the ELM 5-23MM. Verify PCB clearance and mechanical constraints before substitution.

Q: What parameters must remain identical between the main part and substitute?

A: The manufacturer (Bivar Inc.), series (ELM 5), LED type (T1), material (Black PVC), lead spacing (3mm), mounting configuration (Vertical), product status (Active), RoHS compliance (ROHS3), and Moisture Sensitivity Level (1) must all remain unchanged for substitution eligibility.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences between ELM 5-22MM and ELM 5-23MM?

A: No. Both parts carry identical ROHS3 compliance status, Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 ratings, ECCN (EAR99), and HTSUS classifications (3926.90.9985).

Q: What is the significance of the ELM 5 series designation?

A: The ELM 5 series designation indicates a family of T1 LED standoffs manufactured by Bivar Inc. with consistent mechanical and electrical characteristics. Parts within this series share the same base product number (ELM5-2) and are differentiated primarily by length specifications.

Q: How does Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 affect component handling?

A: Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 indicates unlimited shelf life with no special moisture control requirements during storage or assembly. Standard handling procedures are sufficient for both ELM 5-22MM and ELM 5-23MM components.
