ELM 5-630 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELM 5-630 is a T1 LED standoff manufactured by Bivar Inc., designed for vertical mounting applications with a 0.630" (16.00mm) length. This component is an active product with ROHS3 compliance and MSL-1 rating, suitable for unlimited moisture exposure environments. Alternative models may be required when specific length requirements differ from the standard 0.630" specification or when inventory constraints necessitate sourcing compatible alternatives.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The ELM 5-630 can be substituted with the ELM 4-600 based on the following criteria:

Key Substitution Parameters:

• LED Type: T1 (identical)
• Material: Black PVC (identical)
• Color: Black (identical)
• Manufacturer: Bivar Inc. (identical)
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant (identical)
• MSL Rating: 1 (Unlimited) (identical)
• ECCN: EAR99 (identical)
• HTSUS Code: 3926.90.9985 (identical)

Differing Parameter:

• Length: 0.630" (16.00mm) for ELM 5-630 versus 0.600" (15.24mm) for ELM 4-600

The ELM 4-600 maintains all critical functional and compliance characteristics of the ELM 5-630, with the primary difference being a 0.030" (0.76mm) reduction in length. This substitution is valid where mounting space tolerances accommodate the shorter standoff height.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the ELM 5-630 and ELM 4-600 are active products with identical regulatory compliance certifications (ROHS3) and environmental ratings (MSL-1). Selection between these components should be based solely on the mechanical height requirement of the specific application. The ELM 5-630 provides a 0.630" mounting height, while the ELM 4-600 offers a 0.600" height. Both components are manufactured by Bivar Inc. and are subject to equivalent export classifications (EAR99) and harmonized tariff codes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ELM 4-600 be used as a direct replacement for ELM 5-630? A: The ELM 4-600 functions as an equivalent substitute where the 0.030" (0.76mm) height difference does not conflict with mounting geometry or clearance requirements. The electrical and material specifications are identical.

Q: Are there compatibility concerns between these two part numbers? A: Both components are T1 LED standoffs manufactured from identical Black PVC material with equivalent mechanical and compliance ratings. Compatibility is determined by the physical mounting space available for the specified length dimension.

Q: What is the difference in the series designation between ELM 5 and ELM 4? A: The series designation correlates to the standoff length specification. ELM 5 denotes the 0.630" length family, while ELM 4 denotes the 0.600" length family. Both series share identical material composition and LED type specifications.

Q: Are both parts subject to the same import/export restrictions? A: Yes. Both the ELM 5-630 and ELM 4-600 are classified under ECCN EAR99 and HTSUS code 3926.90.9985, indicating identical regulatory treatment for export and import purposes.

Q: Does switching from ELM 5-630 to ELM 4-600 affect RoHS compliance? A: No. Both components carry identical ROHS3 compliance certification and MSL-1 moisture sensitivity ratings, ensuring equivalent environmental and regulatory compliance in your application.
