ELM 5-475 LED Standoff Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELM 5-475 is a T1 LED standoff manufactured by Bivar Inc., featuring a black PVC construction with a 0.475" (12.07mm) vertical height. This component is actively produced and ROHS3 compliant, designed for applications requiring precision-mounted LED positioning. Substitute parts become necessary when the primary part faces inventory constraints or when mechanical specifications within acceptable tolerances are required for design flexibility.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The ELM 5-485 is designated as a parametric equivalent to the ELM 5-475 based on the following shared electrical and mechanical parameters:

• LED Type: Both parts utilize T1 LED configurations
• Material: Both are constructed from black PVC
• Series: Both belong to the ELM 5 product series
• RoHS Compliance: Both meet ROHS3 standards
• Moisture Sensitivity: Both rated at MSL 1 (Unlimited)
• Manufacturing Standard: Both use identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (3926.90.9985) classifications

The primary distinction between these parts is the mechanical length parameter, where the ELM 5-485 measures 0.485" (12.32mm) compared to the ELM 5-475 at 0.475" (12.07mm), representing a 0.010" (0.25mm) vertical height difference.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the ELM 5-475 and ELM 5-485 carry Active product status with identical regulatory compliance profiles, including ROHS3 certification and MSL 1 moisture sensitivity ratings. Selection between these parts should be determined by the mechanical height tolerance requirements of the assembly. The ELM 5-475 is appropriate for designs requiring the shorter standoff height, while the ELM 5-485 accommodates applications requiring slightly increased vertical clearance. Both parts maintain equivalent electrical performance and environmental certifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are ELM 5-475 and ELM 5-485 interchangeable? A: These parts are interchangeable only when the mechanical height difference of 0.010" (0.25mm) is acceptable within the design's vertical spacing tolerance. Both parts share identical electrical characteristics, material composition, and regulatory compliance.

Q: What is the mechanical height difference between these parts? A: The ELM 5-485 is 0.010" (0.25mm) taller than the ELM 5-475. The ELM 5-475 measures 0.475" (12.07mm), while the ELM 5-485 measures 0.485" (12.32mm).

Q: Do both parts comply with RoHS standards? A: Yes, both the ELM 5-475 and ELM 5-485 are ROHS3 compliant and carry identical moisture sensitivity ratings (MSL 1, Unlimited).

Q: Can I use ELM 5-485 if my design specifies ELM 5-475? A: Substitution is permissible only if your circuit board layout and component clearance tolerances accommodate the 0.010" (0.25mm) additional height provided by the ELM 5-485.

Q: What LED type do these standoffs support? A: Both parts are designed for T1 LED configurations and are constructed from black PVC material.
