Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the ELM 5-307 are qualified based on the following shared parametric criteria:

• LED Type: All substitutes support T1 LED configurations
• Material: All substitutes are constructed from PVC
• Color: All substitutes are black
• Manufacturer: All substitutes are manufactured by Bivar Inc.
• RoHS Compliance: All substitutes maintain ROHS3 compliance
• MSL Rating: All substitutes have MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating
• Packaging: All substitutes are supplied in bag packaging

Substitution is permitted where length tolerance variations of ±0.008" to ±0.013" from the primary part are acceptable for the application. The ELM 2 and ELM 4 series provide functional equivalence within these dimensional parameters.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All substitute parts maintain Active product status, ensuring continued manufacturing support and supply availability. ELM 2-320 offers the highest inventory level at 26,182 units, providing optimal supply chain continuity. ELM 2-315 and ELM 4-315 provide functional equivalence at the 8.00mm length specification. All candidates comply with ROHS3 requirements and maintain unlimited moisture sensitivity ratings, qualifying them for equivalent use in applications where the primary part ELM 5-307 is specified.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are all substitute parts mechanically interchangeable with the ELM 5-307? A: Substitutes share identical LED type (T1), material (PVC), and color (Black) specifications. Length variations range from 7.80mm to 8.13mm. Mechanical interchangeability depends on assembly tolerances and available mounting clearance in the specific application.

Q: Do the substitute parts meet the same environmental compliance requirements? A: All substitutes are ROHS3 compliant and carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) ratings, matching the ELM 5-307 environmental qualifications.

Q: What is the significance of the different series designations (ELM 2, ELM 4, ELM 5)? A: Series designations identify design families within the Bivar Inc. LED standoff product line. All series represented maintain compatible T1 LED support and black PVC construction.

Q: Which substitute offers the best inventory availability? A: ELM 2-320 carries 26,182 units in current stock, representing the highest availability among all substitute options.

Q: Are there dimensional constraints for selecting between the length variations? A: Length selection depends on application requirements. ELM 5-307 specifies 7.80mm; ELM 2-315 and ELM 4-315 specify 8.00mm; ELM 2-320 specifies 8.13mm. Assembly compatibility must be confirmed for each length variant.
