Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the ELM 5-2MM are determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• LED Type: T1
• Length: 0.080" (2.03mm)
• Material: Black PVC
• Mounting Style: Vertical
• Color: Black
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

The ELM 2-080 qualifies as a parametric equivalent substitute because it matches all mandatory parameters. Both components are manufactured by Bivar Inc., share identical physical dimensions, material composition, and environmental compliance certifications. The substitution is valid for applications requiring T1 LED standoffs with 0.080" length in black PVC construction.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the ELM 5-2MM and ELM 2-080 are active products with full ROHS3 compliance and identical Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 ratings, indicating unlimited shelf life under standard storage conditions. Selection between these parts should be based on inventory availability and supply chain requirements. The ELM 2-080 currently maintains higher inventory levels (23,989 pcs) compared to the ELM 5-2MM (868 pcs), making it suitable for high-volume production requirements. Both components meet the same environmental and regulatory standards, ensuring equivalent performance in end-use applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the ELM 2-080 be used as a direct replacement for the ELM 5-2MM?

A: Yes. The ELM 2-080 is a parametric equivalent substitute. Both components share identical LED type (T1), length (0.080"), material (black PVC), color, and compliance certifications. Direct substitution is valid for applications requiring these specifications.

Q: What are the critical parameters that determine substitution compatibility?

A: Substitution compatibility is determined by matching LED type, physical length, material composition, color, and environmental compliance ratings. The ELM 5-2MM and ELM 2-080 match across all these parameters.

Q: Are there any differences in packaging between these parts?

A: Both the ELM 5-2MM and ELM 2-080 are supplied in bag packaging. No packaging differences exist between these equivalent parts.

Q: What is the Moisture Sensitivity Level for these components?

A: Both parts carry Moisture Sensitivity Level 1, which indicates unlimited shelf life. No special moisture control measures are required during storage or handling.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the ELM 5-2MM and ELM 2-080 are ROHS3 compliant, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements for electronic component manufacturing.
