ELM 5-535 LED Standoff Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELM 5-535 is a T1 LED standoff manufactured by Bivar Inc., designed for vertical mounting applications with a 0.535" (13.59mm) length. This component is constructed from black PVC material and accommodates 3MM 2-lead LED configurations. The part maintains Active product status and is ROHS3 compliant with unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1).

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent functional performance can be achieved through alternative Bivar Inc. components that maintain compatibility with the same LED form factor, material composition, and electrical specifications while accommodating minor dimensional variations within acceptable engineering tolerances.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the ELM 5-535 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Criteria:

• Manufacturer: Bivar Inc.
• LED Type: T1
• LED Configuration: 3MM 2-Lead
• Material: Black PVC
• Mounting Orientation: Vertical
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

Variable Parameter:

• Length: The ELM 5-535 operates at 0.535" (13.59mm). Substitute parts may vary in length within the ELM series product line while maintaining all other specifications.

The ELM 2-510 qualifies as a parametric equivalent because it maintains all mandatory matching criteria while presenting a reduced length of 0.510" (12.95mm). This dimensional variation accommodates applications requiring shorter standoff heights without compromising material properties, LED compatibility, or compliance certifications.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

ELM 5-535 Primary Selection: The ELM 5-535 is the specified component for applications requiring a 0.535" (13.59mm) standoff height. This part maintains Active product status with full ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating, suitable for standard production environments.

ELM 2-510 Substitute Selection: The ELM 2-510 serves as a direct substitute when application geometry permits a reduced standoff height of 0.510" (12.95mm). Both parts share identical material composition, LED compatibility, compliance certifications, and moisture sensitivity ratings. The ELM 2-510 maintains Active product status and ROHS3 compliance, ensuring equivalent reliability and regulatory adherence.

Selection between these parts depends solely on the mechanical height requirement of the target application. Both components are suitable for production use without additional qualification when dimensional constraints are satisfied.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the ELM 2-510 be used in place of the ELM 5-535?

A: The ELM 2-510 is a parametric equivalent substitute provided the application accommodates a 0.025" (0.64mm) reduction in standoff height. All electrical, material, and compliance specifications remain identical between the two parts.

Q: What is the primary difference between these substitute parts?

A: The ELM 5-535 and ELM 2-510 differ only in length. The ELM 5-535 measures 0.535" (13.59mm) while the ELM 2-510 measures 0.510" (12.95mm). All other parameters, including LED type, material, mounting orientation, and certifications, are identical.

Q: Are both parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. Both the ELM 5-535 and ELM 2-510 maintain ROHS3 compliance with unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1).

Q: What LED configurations do these standoffs support?

A: Both parts are designed for T1 LED types in 3MM 2-lead configurations. They are not compatible with other LED form factors or lead counts.

Q: Are these parts available in colors other than black?

A: The provided specifications indicate black PVC material for both the ELM 5-535 and ELM 2-510. No alternative color options are documented in the current parameter set.

Q: What is the packaging format for these components?

A: Both parts are supplied in bag packaging format suitable for standard component handling and storage.

Q: Can these standoffs be used for horizontal mounting applications?

A: These components are specified for vertical mounting orientation only. Horizontal mounting applications require alternative product configurations.
