ELM 5-610 LED Standoff Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELM 5-610 is a T1 LED standoff manufactured by Bivar Inc., designed for vertical mounting applications with a 0.610" (15.50mm) 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 may be required due to inventory constraints, application-specific dimensional requirements, or supply chain considerations.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the ELM 5-610 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

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

Allowable Variation:

• Length: The ELM 4-600 substitute differs in length specification (0.600" vs. 0.610"), representing a 0.010" (0.26mm) dimensional variance. This variation falls within acceptable tolerance for standoff applications where precise height matching is not a critical constraint.

The ELM 4-600 qualifies as a parametric equivalent because it maintains all mandatory matching parameters while introducing only a minor dimensional difference in the vertical height dimension.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the ELM 5-610 and ELM 4-600 maintain Active product status and ROHS3 compliance, ensuring suitability for current manufacturing and regulatory requirements. The ELM 4-600 substitute is available with higher inventory levels (1058 Pcs vs. 723 Pcs), providing supply chain flexibility. Selection between these parts should be based on specific application height requirements, as the 0.010" length differential may impact PCB layout or mechanical clearance constraints in the target application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the ELM 4-600 be used as a direct replacement for the ELM 5-610?

A: The ELM 4-600 is a parametric equivalent with identical electrical and mechanical characteristics except for a 0.010" (0.26mm) reduction in length. Direct substitution is permissible in applications where this dimensional variance does not affect PCB layout, component clearance, or mechanical assembly requirements.

Q: What is the significance of the length difference between these parts?

A: The ELM 5-610 provides 0.610" standoff height, while the ELM 4-600 provides 0.600" height. This 0.010" difference may be critical in space-constrained designs or applications requiring precise vertical spacing. Verify application drawings before substitution.

Q: Are both parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes, both the ELM 5-610 and ELM 4-600 are ROHS3 compliant with identical Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 ratings, making them suitable for equivalent regulatory and environmental requirements.

Q: What packaging format is used for these parts?

A: Both parts are supplied in Bag packaging, maintaining consistent handling and storage requirements.

Q: Do these parts share the same LED type and configuration?

A: Yes, both parts utilize T1 LED type with vertical mount orientation, 3MM diameter, and 2-lead configuration, ensuring functional compatibility in LED circuit applications.
