ELM 5-430 LED Standoff Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELM 5-430 is a T1 LED standoff manufactured by Bivar Inc., featuring a vertical mount configuration with a 0.430" (10.92mm) length. This component is constructed from black PVC material and is designed for 3MM LED applications with 2-lead configuration. The part maintains Active product status and is ROHS3 compliant, making it suitable for current production environments. Substitute parts are identified when inventory constraints, lead time requirements, or design flexibility necessitate alternative components that maintain functional equivalence within specified parameter tolerances.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the ELM 5-430 is determined by the following critical parameters: manufacturer consistency (Bivar Inc.), LED type specification (T1), mount orientation (vertical), material composition (black PVC), lead configuration (2LD), and compliance certifications (ROHS3). The ELM 4-440 qualifies as a parametric equivalent based on matching all these core criteria. The primary dimensional variance is the length specification: ELM 5-430 measures 0.430" (10.92mm) while ELM 4-440 measures 0.440" (11.18mm), representing a 0.010" (0.26mm) difference. This dimensional tolerance falls within acceptable mechanical substitution parameters for LED standoff applications where vertical spacing adjustments of this magnitude do not compromise circuit board layout or component clearance requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the ELM 5-430 and ELM 4-440 maintain Active product status with ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity ratings, ensuring regulatory alignment for current manufacturing standards. Selection between these parts should be based on specific circuit board layout requirements and available inventory. The ELM 5-430 provides the shorter 0.430" standoff height, while the ELM 4-440 offers a 0.010" taller profile at 0.440". Both components are manufactured by Bivar Inc. using identical material specifications and lead configurations, ensuring functional interchangeability within the dimensional tolerance of the application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ELM 4-440 be used as a direct replacement for ELM 5-430?

A: The ELM 4-440 is a parametric equivalent with all matching specifications except length. Substitution is valid when the 0.010" (0.26mm) height difference does not conflict with circuit board clearance, component spacing, or design constraints.

Q: What is the significance of the length difference between these parts?

A: The ELM 5-430 measures 0.430" (10.92mm) while the ELM 4-440 measures 0.440" (11.18mm). This 0.010" variance affects vertical standoff height and should be evaluated against PCB layout requirements and component proximity specifications.

Q: Are both parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes, both ELM 5-430 and ELM 4-440 are ROHS3 compliant with MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements.

Q: Do these parts share the same packaging format?

A: Both components are supplied in Bag packaging format, maintaining consistent handling and storage requirements.

Q: What LED specifications do these standoffs support?

A: Both parts are designed for T1 LED applications with 2-lead configuration in vertical mount orientation, supporting standard 3MM LED component integration.
