ELM 5-660 LED Standoff Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELM 5-660 is a T1 LED standoff manufactured by Bivar Inc., featuring a black PVC construction with a 0.660" (16.76mm) vertical height. This component is designed for mounting LED indicators in applications requiring precise standoff positioning. The part maintains Active product status and is RoHS3 compliant, making it suitable for current production environments. Substitute parts become necessary when inventory constraints occur, when alternative series options provide improved availability, or when design flexibility permits minor dimensional variations within acceptable tolerances.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the ELM 5-660 is determined by the following critical parameters: LED type (T1), material composition (black PVC), color (black), RoHS compliance status (ROHS3), and height tolerance. The ELM 2 series parts listed below share identical LED type, material, color, and compliance certifications. Height variations between the main part and substitutes fall within 0.010" (0.25mm), representing acceptable dimensional tolerance for LED standoff applications where precise vertical positioning is not the primary design constraint.

The substitute parts ELM 2-665 and ELM 2-17MM are cross-series equivalents from the ELM 2 product line. Both maintain the same functional characteristics and regulatory compliance as the ELM 5-660, differing only in series designation and minor height specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts maintain Active product status and ROHS3 compliance, confirming their suitability for current production use. The ELM 2-665 presents the closest dimensional match to the ELM 5-660, with a height difference of only 0.005" (0.13mm). The ELM 2-17MM offers a height of 0.670" (17.02mm), representing a 0.010" (0.25mm) increase from the main part specification.

Selection between these substitutes depends on application-specific height requirements. When exact height matching is critical, ELM 2-665 is the preferred substitute. When minor height variation is acceptable, ELM 2-17MM provides an alternative. All three parts share identical material composition, LED type, color, and regulatory compliance, ensuring functional interchangeability within the specified dimensional tolerances.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What determines whether ELM 2-665 or ELM 2-17MM can substitute for ELM 5-660?

A: Substitution is determined by matching LED type (T1), material (black PVC), color (black), and RoHS compliance status (ROHS3 Compliant). Both substitute parts meet these criteria. Height differences of 0.005" and 0.010" respectively are the only dimensional variations.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences between the main part and substitutes?

A: No. All three parts are ROHS3 compliant with MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited). Both substitute parts maintain identical regulatory status to the ELM 5-660.

Q: What is the maximum acceptable height variation for substitution?

A: Based on the provided substitute list, height variations up to 0.010" (0.25mm) are acceptable for this product category. ELM 2-17MM represents the maximum variation at 0.670" (17.02mm).

Q: Can ELM 2-665 and ELM 2-17MM be used interchangeably with each other?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical LED type, material, color, and compliance specifications. They differ only in height by 0.005" (0.13mm), which falls within acceptable tolerance for this component category.

Q: Does packaging differ between the main part and substitutes?

A: No. All three parts are supplied in Bag packaging format.

Q: What inventory availability exists for these substitute parts?

A: ELM 5-660 has 801 pieces in stock. ELM 2-665 has 882 pieces in stock. ELM 2-17MM has 1815 pieces in stock.
