ELM 5-605 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELM 5-605 is a T1 LED Standoff in black PVC with a length of 0.605" (15.37mm), manufactured by Bivar Inc. This vertical LED mount component is designed for applications requiring precise positioning of T1 LEDs in compact form factors. The product is Active status and ROHS3 compliant, making it suitable for contemporary electronic assembly requirements. Substitute parts are identified when dimensional, material, and electrical specifications align within acceptable tolerances for the intended application.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The ELM 4-600 is identified as a parametric equivalent to the ELM 5-605 based on the following allowable parameters:

• LED Type: Both parts are T1 LED standoffs
• Material: Both are black PVC construction
• Orientation: Both mount vertically (SR VERT)
• Manufacturer: Both manufactured by Bivar Inc.
• Product Status: Both are Active
• RoHS Compliance: Both are ROHS3 compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: Both have MSL 1 (Unlimited)
• Packaging: Both supplied in Bag format

The primary dimensional difference is length: the ELM 5-605 measures 0.605" (15.37mm), while the ELM 4-600 measures 0.600" (15.24mm), representing a 0.005" (0.13mm) difference. This minimal variation falls within acceptable mechanical tolerances for vertical LED mounting applications where precise height is not a critical constraint.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the ELM 5-605 and ELM 4-600 are Active products with identical RoHS3 compliance status and MSL 1 ratings, establishing equivalence from a regulatory and environmental perspective. Selection between these parts is determined by the mechanical height requirement of the application. The ELM 5-605, with its 0.605" length, accommodates applications with tighter vertical spacing constraints or where maximum clearance from the mounting surface is required. The ELM 4-600 provides the same electrical and material characteristics within a 0.005" shorter profile.

For applications where the LED standoff height directly affects circuit board layout or mechanical fit, the dimensional specification must be validated against the target PCB design. Both parts share identical series design characteristics, RoHS compliance, and supply chain status.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What is the primary difference between ELM 5-605 and ELM 4-600? A: The primary difference is length. The ELM 5-605 measures 0.605" (15.37mm) while the ELM 4-600 measures 0.600" (15.24mm), a 0.005" (0.13mm) variation.

Q: Are both parts ROHS compliant? A: Yes, both the ELM 5-605 and ELM 4-600 are ROHS3 compliant.

Q: Do both parts use the same material? A: Yes, both are constructed from black PVC with identical moisture sensitivity ratings (MSL 1 - Unlimited).

Q: Can ELM 4-600 be used as a direct replacement for ELM 5-605? A: ELM 4-600 functions as a parametric equivalent when the 0.005" (0.13mm) height difference does not impact the mechanical constraints of the application. PCB layout validation is required to confirm dimensional compatibility.
