ELM 5-580 LED Standoff Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELM 5-580 is a T1 LED standoff manufactured by Bivar Inc., featuring a black PVC construction with a 0.580" (14.73mm) vertical mount height and 3mm 2-lead configuration. This component is actively produced and RoHS3 compliant. Identifying substitute parts is necessary when the primary part experiences supply constraints, inventory limitations, or when alternative specifications better suit application requirements.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The ELM 4-600 qualifies as a parametric equivalent based on the following alignment criteria:

Matching Parameters:

• LED Type: T1 (identical)
• Mount Configuration: Vertical Surface Mount (SR VERT) (identical)
• Color: Black (identical)
• Material: PVC (identical)
• Lead Count: 2 leads, 3mm (identical)
• RoHS Status: RoHS3 Compliant (identical)
• MSL Rating: 1 (Unlimited) (identical)
• Regulatory Classification: ECCN EAR99, HTSUS 3926.90.9985 (identical)

Variable Parameter:

• Height: 0.580" (14.73mm) for ELM 5-580 versus 0.600" (15.24mm) for ELM 4-600

The 0.020" (0.51mm) height difference is the sole dimensional distinction between these parts, making the ELM 4-600 suitable for applications where increased standoff height is acceptable or required.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both ELM 5-580 and ELM 4-600 are active products manufactured by Bivar Inc. with identical RoHS3 compliance and regulatory classifications. Selection between these parts depends solely on the standoff height requirement for the specific application:

• ELM 5-580 is the primary choice when a 0.580" (14.73mm) height is specified in the design.
• ELM 4-600 serves as a direct substitute when applications accommodate the 0.600" (15.24mm) height, offering increased inventory availability with 1058 units in stock compared to 739 units for the ELM 5-580.

Both parts meet identical compliance requirements and maintain unrestricted moisture sensitivity levels, ensuring no environmental restrictions on handling or storage.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ELM 4-600 be used in place of ELM 5-580? A: ELM 4-600 is functionally equivalent to ELM 5-580 in all parameters except vertical height. The ELM 4-600 is 0.020" (0.51mm) taller. Substitution is valid only when the application design permits the increased standoff height.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences between these parts? A: No. Both parts are RoHS3 compliant, carry identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (3926.90.9985) classifications, and maintain MSL rating 1 (Unlimited).

Q: Do both parts have the same lead configuration? A: Yes. Both ELM 5-580 and ELM 4-600 feature 2-lead configurations with 3mm spacing, identical vertical surface mount design, and black PVC construction.

Q: What is the inventory status for these substitute parts? A: ELM 5-580 has 739 pieces in stock, while ELM 4-600 has 1058 pieces available. Both are classified as new original inventory.

Q: Are storage or handling conditions different between these parts? A: No. Both parts carry MSL rating 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions apply to either component. Standard ESD precautions for electronic components are recommended for all handling and storage.
