ELM 5-690 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELM 5-690 is a T1 LED standoff manufactured by Bivar Inc., designed for vertical mounting applications with a 0.690" (17.53mm) length. This component features a black PVC construction and accommodates 3MM LED packages with 2-lead configurations. The part maintains Active product status and is ROHS3 compliant. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent mechanical and electrical parameters are required due to inventory constraints, design revisions, or application-specific dimensional tolerances.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the ELM 5-690 is determined by the following critical parameters: LED type (T1), material composition (PVC), color (Black), mounting orientation (vertical), lead configuration (2-lead), and package compatibility (3MM). All substitute parts must maintain identical compliance certifications (ROHS3) and moisture sensitivity ratings (MSL 1). Length variations within the range of 0.665" to 0.690" are permissible when mechanical clearance and PCB footprint tolerances accommodate the dimensional difference. The ELM 2-665 and ELM 2-17MM are classified as parametric equivalents based on these criteria.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts—ELM 5-690, ELM 2-665, and ELM 2-17MM—maintain Active product status with ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 ratings. Selection between these parts is determined by mechanical length requirements and PCB design constraints. The ELM 5-690 provides the maximum length at 0.690" (17.53mm). The ELM 2-17MM offers 0.670" (17.02mm) length, representing a 0.020" (0.51mm) reduction. The ELM 2-665 provides the minimum length at 0.665" (16.89mm), representing a 0.025" (0.64mm) reduction from the main part. All substitutes share identical electrical characteristics, material properties, and regulatory compliance. Part selection depends on available inventory and specific application dimensional tolerances.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ELM 2-665 or ELM 2-17MM be used as direct replacements for ELM 5-690?

A: Yes, both parts are parametric equivalents. All three components share identical LED type (T1), material (PVC), color (Black), mounting orientation (vertical), lead configuration (2-lead), and package size (3MM). The primary difference is length: ELM 5-690 measures 0.690", ELM 2-17MM measures 0.670", and ELM 2-665 measures 0.665". Substitution is valid when PCB design and mechanical clearance accommodate the length variation.

Q: What are the critical parameters that determine substitution eligibility?

A: Substitution eligibility is based on: LED type (T1), material composition (PVC), color (Black), mounting style (vertical), lead count (2), package size (3MM), RoHS compliance (ROHS3), and moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1). Length variations within the specified range are acceptable provided mechanical constraints are satisfied.

Q: Are there compliance or certification differences between these parts?

A: No. All three parts maintain identical ROHS3 compliance status and MSL 1 ratings. No compliance or certification differences exist between ELM 5-690, ELM 2-665, and ELM 2-17MM.

Q: What is the maximum allowable length variation between these parts?

A: The length variation between the longest part (ELM 5-690 at 0.690") and the shortest part (ELM 2-665 at 0.665") is 0.025" (0.64mm). This variation must be accommodated within the mechanical design and PCB footprint tolerances of the application.

Q: Are all parts available in the same packaging format?

A: Yes. ELM 5-690, ELM 2-665, and ELM 2-17MM are all supplied in Bag packaging. No packaging format differences exist between these parts.
