ELM 5-890 LED Standoff Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELM 5-890 is a T1 LED standoff manufactured by Bivar Inc., designed for vertical mounting applications with a 0.890" (22.61mm) length. This component is constructed from black PVC material and accommodates 3MM LED configurations with 2-lead connections. The part maintains Active product status and is ROHS3 compliant, making it suitable for current production environments.

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent functional performance can be achieved through alternative components within the same product series that maintain compatibility with the specified electrical and mechanical parameters.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the ELM 5-890 is determined by strict adherence to the following parameters:

Critical Matching Parameters:

• Manufacturer: Bivar Inc.
• Series: ELM 5
• LED Type: T1
• Material: PVC
• Color: Black
• Configuration: 3MM 2-Lead
• Mounting Orientation: Vertical
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

Allowable Variation:

• Length tolerance within mechanical compatibility range

The ELM 5-23MM qualifies as a parametric equivalent because it maintains all critical matching parameters while operating within acceptable mechanical specifications for the ELM 5 series standoff applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Selection Criteria:

The ELM 5-890 is the specified component for applications requiring a 0.890" (22.61mm) standoff height. Both the main part and substitute maintain Active product status, ensuring availability and ongoing manufacturer support.

Compliance Basis:

Both components satisfy ROHS3 compliance requirements and carry identical Moisture Sensitivity Level ratings (MSL 1 - Unlimited), indicating equivalent environmental performance characteristics across storage, handling, and operational conditions.

Inventory Considerations:

The ELM 5-23MM substitute maintains higher inventory availability (7087 Pcs) compared to the ELM 5-890 (1156 Pcs), which may influence supply chain decisions when component availability is a factor.

Mechanical Compatibility:

The length differential between the two parts is 0.020" (0.50mm). Selection between these components depends on the specific mechanical clearance requirements of the application. Both parts function within the ELM 5 series design envelope for vertical LED mounting applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the ELM 5-23MM be used as a direct replacement for the ELM 5-890?

A: The ELM 5-23MM is a parametric equivalent within the ELM 5 series. Both components share identical electrical and material specifications. The 0.020" (0.50mm) length difference must be evaluated against application-specific mechanical clearance requirements.

Q: What parameters must remain constant for substitution eligibility?

A: Manufacturer (Bivar Inc.), series (ELM 5), LED type (T1), material (PVC), color (Black), configuration (3MM 2-Lead), mounting orientation (Vertical), RoHS status (ROHS3 Compliant), and Moisture Sensitivity Level (1 - Unlimited) must all remain unchanged.

Q: Are there compliance differences between the ELM 5-890 and ELM 5-23MM?

A: No. Both components carry identical ROHS3 compliance certification and Moisture Sensitivity Level ratings, indicating equivalent regulatory and environmental performance.

Q: How does the length difference affect component selection?

A: The ELM 5-23MM is 0.020" (0.50mm) longer than the ELM 5-890. Applications with tight vertical clearance constraints must account for this dimensional variance. Both lengths are within the ELM 5 series mechanical specifications.

Q: What is the packaging format for both components?

A: Both the ELM 5-890 and ELM 5-23MM are supplied in Bag packaging, maintaining consistent handling and storage requirements.

Q: Are both parts currently available for procurement?

A: Yes. Both components maintain Active product status with current inventory availability, ensuring supply continuity for new designs and production requirements.
