ELM 5-665 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELM 5-665 is a T1 LED standoff manufactured by Bivar Inc., featuring a black PVC construction with a 0.665" (16.89mm) mounting height and 3mm lead spacing for 2-lead configurations. This component is currently in active production status and fully compliant with ROHS3 standards. Equivalent and substitute parts are identified to provide alternative sourcing options for circuit board assembly, particularly when primary inventory availability requires alternative component selection while maintaining identical functional and mechanical parameters.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the ELM 5-665 are identified based on the following electrical and mechanical compatibility criteria:

Critical Parameters for Substitution:

• LED Type: T1 (unchanged across all substitutes)
• Material: PVC (unchanged across all substitutes)
• Lead Configuration: 3mm spacing, 2-lead (unchanged across all substitutes)
• Color: Black (unchanged across all substitutes)
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant (maintained)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) (maintained)

Two substitute parts are approved for the ELM 5-665:

1. ELM 2-665: Parametric equivalent with identical length (0.665" / 16.89mm), manufactured in the ELM 2 series with identical mechanical and electrical parameters
2. ELM 2-17MM: Parametric equivalent with functionally equivalent length (0.670" / 17.02mm, within tolerance margins for LED standoff applications), manufactured in the ELM 2 series

Both substitutes maintain the same LED type, material composition, lead spacing, and compliance certifications as the primary part.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Selection of ELM 5-665 or its substitute parts (ELM 2-665 or ELM 2-17MM) is determined by availability and application-specific mechanical mounting requirements.

ELM 5-665 and ELM 2-665 provide identical length specifications (0.665" / 16.89mm) and are directly interchangeable for applications requiring precise height matching.

ELM 2-17MM presents a functionally equivalent alternative with a length of 0.670" (17.02mm), suitable for applications where a marginally increased standoff height accommodates the design specification.

All three parts maintain identical:

• Active production status
• ROHS3 compliance
• Moisture sensitivity level (1 - Unlimited)
• LED type, material, color, and lead configuration

Selection between these parts should be based on inventory availability and specific circuit board mounting height requirements for the intended application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ELM 2-665 directly replace ELM 5-665? A: Yes. ELM 2-665 is a direct parametric equivalent with identical electrical and mechanical specifications, including the same 0.665" length, T1 LED type, 3mm lead spacing, PVC material, and black color.

Q: Is ELM 2-17MM compatible with ELM 5-665? A: ELM 2-17MM is functionally equivalent but with a 0.005" increased length (0.670" versus 0.665"). All other electrical and mechanical parameters remain identical. Selection depends on whether the circuit board design can accommodate the additional height.

Q: What are the key parameters that define substitutability for these parts? A: Substitution is based on LED type (T1), material composition (PVC), lead configuration (3mm spacing, 2-lead), color (black), and compliance certifications (ROHS3). Length variation within the approved substitutes is limited to 0.005" maximum.

Q: Are all three parts in active production? A: Yes. ELM 5-665, ELM 2-665, and ELM 2-17MM are all in active production status with current inventory availability.

Q: Do the substitute parts maintain the same RoHS and moisture sensitivity compliance? A: Yes. All three parts are ROHS3 compliant with Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited), maintaining full compliance with automotive and industrial assembly standards.

Q: What packaging format is used for these parts? A: All parts are supplied in bag packaging suitable for standard component pick-and-place assembly operations.
