ELM 5-440 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELM 5-440 is a T1 LED standoff manufactured by Bivar Inc., designed for vertical mounting applications with a 0.440" (11.18mm) height specification. This component is constructed from black PVC material and accommodates 3MM LED packages 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 equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters are maintained across the same product category, ensuring functional interchangeability in circuit board assembly applications.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the ELM 5-440 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters: LED type (T1), physical length (0.440"), material composition (black PVC), LED package accommodation (3MM), lead configuration (2LD), and mounting orientation (vertical). The substitute part ELM 4-440 maintains identical specifications across all these parameters, differing only in series designation (ELM 4 versus ELM 5). Both parts are manufactured by Bivar Inc., carry identical RoHS3 compliance status, and share the same moisture sensitivity level classification. This series-level variation does not affect functional or mechanical compatibility in standard PCB assembly applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both ELM 5-440 and ELM 4-440 are Active products with ROHS3 compliance certification, qualifying them for use in regulated manufacturing environments. The ELM 4-440 substitute maintains complete parameter equivalence with the primary part across all mechanical and electrical specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on inventory availability and supply chain requirements, as both components satisfy identical functional and compliance criteria. The ELM 4-440 currently maintains higher inventory levels (991 Pcs versus 733 Pcs), which may influence procurement decisions for high-volume applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What determines if ELM 4-440 can replace ELM 5-440 in production?

A: The ELM 4-440 maintains identical specifications across all critical parameters: T1 LED type, 0.440" length, black PVC material, 3MM LED package accommodation, 2-lead configuration, vertical mounting orientation, ROHS3 compliance, and MSL 1 rating. These parameters define functional and mechanical compatibility.

Q: Are there differences in packaging between these parts?

A: Both parts are supplied in Bag packaging format. No packaging configuration differences exist between ELM 5-440 and ELM 4-440.

Q: Does the series designation (ELM 4 versus ELM 5) affect circuit board assembly compatibility?

A: The series designation reflects internal manufacturer product line organization and does not impact mechanical fit, electrical performance, or assembly compatibility. Both series maintain identical dimensional and functional specifications for this product category.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for these components?

A: Both ELM 5-440 and ELM 4-440 carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) classification, indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions during storage or handling.

Q: Are both parts compliant with current regulatory requirements?

A: Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance status and Active product status, confirming suitability for current production applications without regulatory restrictions.
