ELM 5-585 LED Standoff Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELM 5-585 is a T1 LED standoff manufactured by Bivar Inc., designed for vertical mounting applications with a 0.585" (14.86mm) length. This component is constructed from black PVC material and accommodates 3MM LED configurations with 2-lead connections. The part maintains Active product status and is ROHS3 compliant, making it suitable for current production environments. Substitute parts are identified when inventory constraints, lead time requirements, or design flexibility necessitate alternative components that maintain functional equivalence within specified electrical and mechanical parameters.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the ELM 5-585 are identified based on strict parameter alignment within the following criteria:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Manufacturer: Bivar Inc.
• LED Type: T1
• Material: Black PVC
• LED Configuration: 3MM 2-Lead
• Mounting Style: Vertical
• Product Status: Active
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)
• Packaging: Bag

Allowable Variation Parameter:

• Length: Tolerance within mechanical design constraints of the application

The ELM 4-600 qualifies as a parametric equivalent substitute because it maintains all mandatory matching parameters while varying only in length (0.600" versus 0.585"). This length differential of 0.015" (0.38mm) represents a mechanical variation that may be accommodated within typical PCB standoff design tolerances.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the ELM 5-585 and ELM 4-600 maintain Active product status with ROHS3 compliance and identical regulatory classifications (ECCN: EAR99, HTSUS: 3926.90.9985). Selection between these parts is determined by mechanical fit requirements within the target application.

The ELM 5-585 is specified when the design requires a 0.585" (14.86mm) standoff height. The ELM 4-600 serves as a substitute when the 0.600" (15.24mm) length is mechanically acceptable, offering an alternative with higher current inventory availability (1058 units versus 888 units).

Both components share identical electrical and material specifications, ensuring functional equivalence within applications where the 0.015" (0.38mm) length differential does not create mechanical interference or clearance violations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ELM 4-600 be used as a direct replacement for ELM 5-585?

A: The ELM 4-600 functions as a parametric equivalent substitute when the application design accommodates the 0.015" (0.38mm) increase in standoff height. Verify that PCB clearance, component spacing, and mechanical constraints permit this length variation before substitution.

Q: What parameters must remain identical between the main part and substitute?

A: Manufacturer (Bivar Inc.), LED type (T1), material (black PVC), LED configuration (3MM 2-lead), mounting style (vertical), product status (Active), RoHS compliance (ROHS3), and moisture sensitivity level (1) must remain unchanged. Length is the only allowable variable parameter.

Q: Are both parts available in the same packaging format?

A: Yes. Both ELM 5-585 and ELM 4-600 are supplied in Bag packaging, ensuring consistency in handling, storage, and integration into production workflows.

Q: Do both parts carry the same regulatory classifications?

A: Yes. Both components are classified under ECCN: EAR99 and HTSUS: 3926.90.9985, with identical RoHS3 compliance status and MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited).

Q: What is the inventory status of each part?

A: ELM 5-585 has 888 units in stock. ELM 4-600 has 1058 units in stock. Both are listed as New Original inventory.
