ELM 5-375 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELM 5-375 is a T1 LED standoff manufactured by Bivar Inc., constructed from black PVC with a length of 0.375" (9.53mm). This component is designed for vertical mounting applications requiring a precision LED holder. The part maintains Active product status and full RoHS3 compliance, supporting standard 3MM 2-lead LED configurations. Substitute parts may be necessary due to inventory availability, specific length requirements, or material preferences in PCB assembly workflows.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitutes for the ELM 5-375 are qualified based on the following parameters: LED type (T1), color (Black), material compatibility (PVC or equivalent polymeric construction), length tolerance within mechanical assembly constraints, and compliance certifications (RoHS3). The three substitute parts—ELM 2-365, ELM 5-390, and H-201C—share the core T1 LED mounting function with identical color and compliance profile. Length variations range from 0.365" to 0.390", representing acceptable mechanical tolerances for standard vertical mounting applications. Material substitution from PVC to Nylon (H-201C) is permitted where mechanical properties remain within assembly specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All four parts—ELM 5-375, ELM 2-365, ELM 5-390, and H-201C—maintain Active product status with full RoHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating, qualifying them for equivalent functional use in T1 LED standoff applications. Selection among these parts is determined by length requirements specific to PCB assembly height specifications and material preference. ELM 5-375 and ELM 5-390 remain within the same ELM 5 series, providing consistent mechanical interfaces. ELM 2-365 offers the shortest profile (9.27mm) for space-constrained applications. H-201C, constructed from Nylon rather than PVC, provides alternative material properties while maintaining identical electrical and mounting specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ELM 2-365 be used instead of ELM 5-375? A: ELM 2-365 is a functional equivalent with identical T1 LED type, color, and RoHS3 compliance. The length difference (0.365" vs. 0.375") must be evaluated against specific PCB assembly height requirements. The part maintains the same MSL 1 rating and material compatibility.

Q: What is the material difference between these parts? A: ELM 5-375, ELM 2-365, and ELM 5-390 are constructed from PVC. H-201C uses Nylon material. Both materials are black and fully compliant with RoHS3 specifications. Material selection depends on thermal and mechanical performance requirements in the target application.

Q: Are all substitutes in the same packaging format? A: All parts are supplied in Bag packaging format as specified by the manufacturer. Inventory quantities vary; H-201C maintains the highest stock level (63104 Pcs), supporting consistent supply chain availability.

Q: What is the acceptable length tolerance for substitution? A: The substitute parts range from 0.365" (9.27mm) to 0.390" (9.91mm), representing a ±0.015" tolerance band centered around 0.3775". PCB assembly height specifications determine which parts are mechanically compatible for your specific design.

Q: Do all these parts carry the same compliance certifications? A: All parts are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating and EAR99 ECCN classification. These certifications apply uniformly across all four parts, supporting use in equivalent regulatory environments.
