ELM 5-700 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELM 5-700 is a T1 LED standoff manufactured by Bivar Inc., featuring a black PVC construction with a 0.700" (17.78mm) vertical height. This component is designed for applications requiring precision-mounted LED positioning with standardized T1 form factor compatibility. The part maintains Active product status with full ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1).

Finding alternative models may be necessary due to inventory constraints, supply chain variations, or specific application requirements while maintaining equivalent functional and mechanical parameters.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The ELM 2-17MM qualifies as a parametric equivalent based on strict adherence to the following allowable substitution parameters:

• LED Type Match: Both parts use T1 form factor LED mounting
• Material Consistency: Both utilize black PVC construction
• Color Specification: Both parts are black
• RoHS Compliance: Both maintain ROHS3 compliance status
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: Both rated at MSL 1 (Unlimited)
• Manufacturer Source: Both sourced from Bivar Inc.

The length specification differs minimally (0.700" vs. 0.670"), representing a tolerance variance of approximately 0.030" (0.76mm) within typical mechanical assembly tolerances for standoff applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both ELM 5-700 and ELM 2-17MM maintain Active product status with identical RoHS3 compliance and MSL ratings, establishing them as functionally equivalent for component selection purposes. The primary distinguishing factor is the length specification variance of 0.030" (0.76mm). Selection between these parts should be determined by specific application height requirements and available inventory. Both parts are sourced from the same manufacturer and comply with all specified regulatory frameworks.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ELM 2-17MM be used as a direct replacement for ELM 5-700?

A: ELM 2-17MM qualifies as a parametric equivalent based on matching LED type (T1), material (black PVC), color, and compliance specifications. The length differs by 0.030" (0.76mm). Substitution depends on whether the application accommodates this height variance.

Q: What is the significance of the length difference between these parts?

A: The ELM 5-700 measures 0.700" (17.78mm) while ELM 2-17MM measures 0.670" (17.02mm). This 0.030" difference affects LED mounting height in vertical applications. Applications with fixed height constraints must account for this variance.

Q: Are both parts equivalent in compliance and certifications?

A: Both parts carry ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 (Unlimited) ratings. Both are manufactured by Bivar Inc. and maintain Active product status. Compliance profiles are identical.

Q: What is the packaging specification for both parts?

A: Both ELM 5-700 and ELM 2-17MM are supplied in Bag packaging format, suitable for standard component handling and inventory management.

Q: What does LED T1 form factor indicate?

A: T1 designates a standard LED package type with defined mechanical and electrical characteristics. Both parts utilize identical T1 form factor specifications.
