ELM 5-350 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELM 5-350 is a T1 LED standoff manufactured by Bivar Inc., designed for vertical mounting applications. This component features a black PVC construction with a 0.350" (8.89mm) length and accommodates T1 LED packages with a 2-lead configuration. The part is classified as Active product status and maintains full RoHS3 compliance with MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating.

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters align with the main part specifications, enabling direct replacement in applications where the primary part is unavailable or inventory constraints exist.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the ELM 5-350 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• LED package type: T1
• Material composition: Black PVC
• Lead configuration: 2-lead
• RoHS3 compliance requirement
• MSL rating: 1 (Unlimited)
• Manufacturer: Bivar Inc.

Secondary Consideration:

• Length tolerance: Parts with identical or mechanically compatible length specifications

The ELM 2-350 qualifies as a parametric equivalent based on matching LED type (T1), material (Black PVC), lead count (2), length (0.350"), and all compliance certifications. The ELM 2-365 qualifies as a substitute with identical electrical and material properties but features a 0.365" (9.27mm) length, representing a mechanical variant suitable for applications with increased standoff height requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

ELM 2-350 Selection: The ELM 2-350 provides direct dimensional and electrical equivalence to the ELM 5-350. Both parts maintain identical length specifications (0.350"), LED type (T1), material composition (Black PVC), and compliance certifications (RoHS3, MSL 1). This substitute is suitable for applications requiring exact form-factor replacement with no design modifications.

ELM 2-365 Selection: The ELM 2-365 introduces a 0.015" (0.38mm) length increase relative to the ELM 5-350. This variant maintains all electrical and material equivalence but provides increased standoff height. Selection of this substitute requires verification that the additional length accommodates the mechanical constraints of the target application.

Both substitute parts are manufactured by Bivar Inc. and carry Active product status with full RoHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating, ensuring regulatory and supply chain continuity.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the ELM 2-350 replace the ELM 5-350 in all applications?

A: The ELM 2-350 is dimensionally and electrically equivalent to the ELM 5-350. Both parts share identical length (0.350"), LED type (T1), material (Black PVC), and compliance ratings. Direct substitution is applicable without design modification.

Q: What is the primary difference between the ELM 2-350 and ELM 2-365?

A: The ELM 2-365 features a 0.365" length compared to the 0.350" length of the ELM 2-350. All other parameters, including LED type, material, lead count, and compliance certifications, remain identical. The length difference must be evaluated against mechanical clearance requirements in the target application.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. Both the ELM 2-350 and ELM 2-365 maintain RoHS3 compliance identical to the ELM 5-350, ensuring regulatory alignment for restricted substance requirements.

Q: What does MSL 1 (Unlimited) mean for these components?

A: MSL 1 (Unlimited) indicates that these components have no moisture sensitivity restrictions and do not require special handling, storage, or baking procedures prior to assembly.

Q: Can the ELM 2-365 be used where the ELM 5-350 is specified?

A: The ELM 2-365 is electrically and materially equivalent but features a 0.015" greater length. Use of this substitute requires confirmation that the increased standoff height does not violate mechanical constraints, clearance requirements, or design specifications of the target application.

Q: Are these parts available from the same manufacturer?

A: Yes. All three parts—ELM 5-350, ELM 2-350, and ELM 2-365—are manufactured by Bivar Inc. and carry Active product status.
