ELM 5-510 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELM 5-510 is a T1 LED standoff manufactured by Bivar Inc., designed for vertical mounting applications with a 0.510" (12.95mm) length. This component features a black PVC construction and accommodates 3MM LED packages with 2-lead configurations. The part maintains Active product status and is ROHS3 compliant with unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1).

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters align with the main part specifications, enabling direct replacement in applications where dimensional or series variations are acceptable within design tolerances.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the ELM 5-510 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Primary Compatibility Criteria:

• Manufacturer: Bivar Inc. (all substitutes from same manufacturer)
• LED Type: T1 (consistent across all parts)
• LED Package Size: 3MM (consistent across all parts)
• Lead Configuration: 2LD (consistent across all parts)
• Material: Black PVC (consistent across all parts)
• Mounting Style: Vertical (SR VERT) (consistent across all parts)
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant (consistent across all parts)
• MSL Rating: 1 (Unlimited) (consistent across all parts)

Variable Parameters Allowing Substitution:

• Length: 0.510" (12.95mm) for ELM 5-510; 0.500" (12.70mm) for ELM 2-500; 0.485" (12.32mm) for ELM 5-485
• Series: ELM 5 (main part) versus ELM 2 (substitute option)

All substitute parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical characteristics except for length and series designation. Length variations of ±0.025" (0.635mm) fall within standard mechanical tolerance ranges for LED standoff applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All listed substitute parts maintain Active product status and ROHS3 compliance, ensuring regulatory alignment with the ELM 5-510. Selection between substitute options depends on application-specific length requirements:

ELM 2-510: Identical length (0.510" / 12.95mm) to the main part. Differs only in series designation (ELM 2 versus ELM 5). Suitable for direct replacement where series interchangeability is acceptable.

ELM 2-500: Length of 0.500" (12.70mm) represents a 0.010" (0.254mm) reduction from the main part. Appropriate for applications with tighter vertical clearance constraints or where shorter standoff height is required.

ELM 5-485: Length of 0.485" (12.32mm) represents a 0.025" (0.635mm) reduction from the main part. Maintains ELM 5 series consistency with the main part while providing maximum height reduction. Suitable for applications requiring minimal standoff elevation.

All substitute parts carry identical electrical characteristics, material composition, and environmental ratings. Selection should be based solely on mechanical length requirements and available inventory levels.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ELM 2-510 replace ELM 5-510 in all applications?

A: ELM 2-510 provides identical length (0.510" / 12.95mm) and all electrical/mechanical parameters. The only difference is series designation (ELM 2 versus ELM 5). Substitution is valid where series interchangeability is acceptable within design specifications.

Q: What is the maximum length difference between substitute parts?

A: The maximum length variation is 0.025" (0.635mm), occurring between ELM 5-510 (0.510" / 12.95mm) and ELM 5-485 (0.485" / 12.32mm). This variation falls within standard mechanical tolerance ranges for LED standoff applications.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All listed substitute parts (ELM 2-510, ELM 2-500, ELM 5-485) maintain ROHS3 compliance identical to the main part ELM 5-510.

Q: Do substitute parts have different moisture sensitivity ratings?

A: No. All parts, including the main part and all substitutes, carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions.

Q: Which substitute part should be selected for space-constrained applications?

A: ELM 5-485 provides the shortest length at 0.485" (12.32mm), offering maximum vertical space reduction while maintaining all other electrical and mechanical specifications of the main part.

Q: Are there inventory differences between the main part and substitutes?

A: Yes. Inventory levels vary: ELM 5-510 (919 Pcs), ELM 2-510 (1846 Pcs), ELM 2-500 (4519 Pcs), and ELM 5-485 (10054 Pcs). Substitute selection may be influenced by availability requirements.

Q: What packaging format is used for all parts?

A: All parts, including the main part and all substitutes, are supplied in Bag packaging format.
