ELM 5-680 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELM 5-680 is a T1 LED standoff manufactured by Bivar Inc., designed for vertical mounting applications with a 0.680" (17.27mm) length. This component is constructed from black PVC material and accommodates 3mm LED packages with 2-lead configurations. The part maintains Active product status and is ROHS3 compliant, making it suitable for current production environments. Substitute parts are identified when inventory constraints, lead time requirements, or design flexibility necessitate alternative components that maintain functional equivalence within specified parameter tolerances.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the ELM 5-680 is determined by strict parameter alignment across the following criteria:

Primary Substitution Parameters:

• LED Type: T1 (fixed requirement)
• Material: Black PVC (fixed requirement)
• LED Package Size: 3MM (fixed requirement)
• Lead Configuration: 2-Lead (fixed requirement)
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant (fixed requirement)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) (fixed requirement)

Allowable Variance:

• Length tolerance: ±0.015" (±0.38mm) from nominal 0.680" (17.27mm)

The identified substitute parts ELM 2-665 and ELM 2-17MM satisfy all primary substitution parameters. Both components are manufactured by Bivar Inc., maintain T1 LED type specifications, utilize black PVC construction, accommodate 3MM LED packages with 2-lead configurations, and comply with ROHS3 requirements. Length measurements of 0.665" (16.89mm) and 0.670" (17.02mm) respectively fall within the allowable mechanical tolerance range for vertical mounting applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both ELM 2-665 and ELM 2-17MM are qualified substitutes for the ELM 5-680 based on parametric equivalence and compliance certifications. Selection between these alternatives should be based on the following factors:

ELM 2-665 Characteristics:

• Length: 0.665" (16.89mm) — represents 0.015" (0.38mm) reduction from ELM 5-680
• Current inventory: 882 Pcs
• REACH Status: REACH Unaffected
• HTSUS Code: 3926.90.9985

ELM 2-17MM Characteristics:

• Length: 0.670" (17.02mm) — represents 0.010" (0.25mm) reduction from ELM 5-680
• Current inventory: 1815 Pcs
• HTSUS Code: 8541.41.0000

Both parts maintain Active product status and full ROHS3 compliance. The ELM 2-17MM offers the closest dimensional alignment to the ELM 5-680 and provides higher inventory availability. The ELM 2-665 represents a greater length reduction and should be selected only when mechanical clearance permits the additional 0.005" (0.13mm) variance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What determines if a part can substitute for the ELM 5-680?

A: Substitution eligibility requires exact matching of LED type (T1), material (black PVC), LED package size (3MM), lead configuration (2-lead), RoHS compliance (ROHS3), and moisture sensitivity level (1 Unlimited). Length variance up to ±0.015" (±0.38mm) is permissible for vertical mounting applications.

Q: How do the substitute parts differ from the ELM 5-680?

A: The ELM 2-665 and ELM 2-17MM differ only in length specification. The ELM 5-680 measures 0.680" (17.27mm), while ELM 2-665 measures 0.665" (16.89mm) and ELM 2-17MM measures 0.670" (17.02mm). All other parameters remain identical.

Q: Which substitute part should I select?

A: The ELM 2-17MM is recommended as the primary substitute due to minimal length variance (0.010" reduction) and superior inventory availability (1815 Pcs). The ELM 2-665 is suitable when the additional 0.005" (0.13mm) length reduction accommodates design requirements.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. The ELM 5-680, ELM 2-665, and ELM 2-17MM are all ROHS3 compliant with Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited), meeting current regulatory requirements.

Q: What is the packaging format for these parts?

A: All three parts are supplied in Bag packaging format, maintaining consistent handling and storage requirements across the product family.
