ELM 5-910 LED Standoff Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELM 5-910 is a T1 LED standoff manufactured by Bivar Inc., designed for vertical mounting applications with a 0.910" (23.11mm) 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 supply chain considerations necessitate alternative sourcing while maintaining functional equivalence.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the ELM 5-910 is determined by strict equivalence across all critical parameters. The substitute part ELM 5-23MM qualifies as a parametric equivalent based on the following matching criteria:

Matching Parameters:

• LED Type: T1 (identical form factor)
• Length: 0.910" (23.11mm) (identical mechanical dimension)
• Material: Black PVC (identical construction)
• LED Package Size: 3MM (identical accommodation)
• Lead Count: 2LD (identical electrical configuration)
• Mounting Orientation: Vertical (identical installation method)
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant (identical compliance level)
• MSL Rating: 1 (Unlimited) (identical moisture sensitivity)
• Manufacturer: Bivar Inc. (same manufacturer)
• Series: ELM 5 (same product series)

Both parts share identical functional and mechanical specifications, confirming direct substitution capability within the ELM 5 series.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both ELM 5-910 and ELM 5-23MM are Active products manufactured by Bivar Inc. with identical ROHS3 compliance and MSL ratings. Selection between these parts should be based on inventory availability and supply chain requirements rather than technical differentiation, as all specified parameters are equivalent.

The ELM 5-910 currently maintains 1,068 pieces in stock, while the ELM 5-23MM maintains 7,087 pieces in stock. For applications requiring immediate availability or high-volume procurement, inventory levels may influence part selection within this equivalent group.

Both parts carry identical environmental compliance certifications (ROHS3, MSL 1) and are suitable for production environments with equivalent regulatory requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are ELM 5-910 and ELM 5-23MM functionally interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical specifications across all critical parameters: T1 LED type, 0.910" (23.11mm) length, black PVC material, 3MM LED package accommodation, 2-lead configuration, vertical mounting orientation, and ROHS3 compliance. They are direct parametric equivalents within the ELM 5 series.

Q: What determines substitution eligibility for ELM 5 series standoffs?

A: Substitution is determined by equivalence in LED type, physical length, material composition, LED package size, lead count, mounting orientation, and compliance certifications. All these parameters must match exactly for parts to be considered substitutes.

Q: Do these parts require different PCB footprints or mounting procedures?

A: No. The identical length (0.910"/23.11mm), material (black PVC), and vertical mounting orientation ensure identical PCB footprints and mounting procedures for both parts.

Q: Are there any differences in environmental compliance between these parts?

A: No. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant with MSL rating 1 (Unlimited), indicating identical environmental compliance and moisture sensitivity characteristics.

Q: Can I use ELM 5-23MM as a direct replacement for ELM 5-910 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The parametric equivalence across all specified dimensions, materials, and electrical characteristics confirms direct replacement capability without design modification.

Q: What is the difference between the part numbers ELM 5-910 and ELM 5-23MM?

A: The part numbers reflect different internal designation systems within the ELM 5 series (base product numbers ELM5-9 and ELM5-2 respectively), but both parts are manufactured to identical specifications and are functionally equivalent.
