ELM 5-330 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELM 5-330 is a T1 LED standoff manufactured by Bivar Inc., featuring a black PVC construction with a 0.330" (8.38mm) length. This component is designed for vertical mounting applications requiring precise standoff height specifications. The part maintains Active product status and is RoHS3 compliant with MSL 1 rating, indicating unlimited moisture sensitivity tolerance.

Substitute parts become necessary when the ELM 5-330 experiences inventory constraints, extended lead times, or when design specifications permit tolerance variations within the 0.315" to 0.330" length range. All substitute options maintain identical material composition, LED type, color, and compliance certifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the ELM 5-330 is determined by the following parameters:

Critical Matching Parameters:

• LED Type: T1 (all substitutes maintain this specification)
• Material: Black PVC (all substitutes maintain this specification)
• Color: Black (all substitutes maintain this specification)
• Manufacturer: Bivar Inc. (all substitutes from same manufacturer)
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant (all substitutes maintain this certification)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (all substitutes maintain unlimited MSL rating)
• Product Status: Active (all substitutes maintain active status)

Variable Parameter:

• Length: 0.315" (8.00mm) to 0.330" (8.38mm) range

The three substitute parts (ELM 2-315, ELM 2-320, and ELM 4-315) are grouped as parametric equivalents based on their identical core specifications with length variations within acceptable tolerance ranges. The ELM 2-320 at 0.320" (8.13mm) and ELM 2-315 at 0.315" (8.00mm) represent the closest dimensional alternatives to the primary ELM 5-330 specification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

ELM 2-320 Selection Criteria: The ELM 2-320 represents the optimal substitute when dimensional tolerance of ±0.010" (0.25mm) from the primary specification is acceptable. This part offers the highest inventory availability at 26,182 units and maintains all compliance certifications. The 0.320" length provides the closest dimensional match to the ELM 5-330 at 0.330".

ELM 2-315 Selection Criteria: The ELM 2-315 is suitable for applications permitting a 0.015" (0.38mm) reduction in standoff height. This part maintains full RoHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status, with substantial inventory availability at 7,562 units.

ELM 4-315 Selection Criteria: The ELM 4-315 provides an alternative within the ELM 4 series while maintaining identical dimensional and material specifications to the ELM 2-315. This part is appropriate when series-specific requirements exist, with 4,972 units in stock.

All substitute parts maintain Active product status and identical compliance certifications to the primary ELM 5-330 component.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What is the primary difference between ELM 5-330 and its substitutes? A: The primary difference is standoff length. The ELM 5-330 measures 0.330" (8.38mm), while substitutes range from 0.315" to 0.320". All other specifications including LED type, material, color, and compliance certifications remain identical.

Q: Can ELM 2-320 directly replace ELM 5-330 in my application? A: ELM 2-320 can replace ELM 5-330 if your design tolerates a 0.010" (0.25mm) reduction in standoff height. Both parts are T1 LED standoffs with identical black PVC construction and compliance ratings.

Q: What is the maximum length variation among substitute parts? A: The maximum length variation is 0.015" (0.38mm), occurring between the ELM 5-330 at 0.330" and the ELM 2-315 or ELM 4-315 at 0.315".

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS3 compliant? A: Yes. All substitute parts (ELM 2-320, ELM 2-315, and ELM 4-315) maintain ROHS3 compliance identical to the primary ELM 5-330 component.

Q: What is the difference between ELM 2-315 and ELM 4-315? A: Both parts share identical length (0.315"), material (black PVC), LED type (T1), and compliance specifications. The primary difference is series designation: ELM 2-315 belongs to the ELM 2 series while ELM 4-315 belongs to the ELM 4 series.

Q: Which substitute offers the best inventory availability? A: ELM 2-320 provides the highest inventory with 26,182 units in stock, followed by ELM 2-315 with 7,562 units and ELM 4-315 with 4,972 units.

Q: Do all parts use identical packaging? A: Yes. All parts, including the primary ELM 5-330 and all substitutes, are packaged in bags.

Q: What is the Moisture Sensitivity Level for all these parts? A: All parts maintain MSL 1 rating, indicating unlimited moisture sensitivity tolerance with no special storage or handling requirements.
