ELM 5-925 LED Standoff Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELM 5-925 is a T1 LED standoff manufactured by Bivar Inc., designed for vertical mounting applications requiring a 0.925" (23.50mm) black PVC standoff. This component is currently in Active product status with full ROHS3 compliance. Equivalent parts are identified when design revisions, manufacturing changes, or supply chain optimization necessitate component substitution while maintaining functional compatibility.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the ELM 5-925 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• LED Type: Both parts must accommodate T1 form factor LEDs
• Material: Black PVC construction is required for mechanical and environmental compatibility
• Length Tolerance: The standoff length must be within acceptable mechanical tolerances for the intended mounting application
• Series Compliance: Parts must belong to the ELM 5 series to ensure consistency with design specifications
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating must be maintained

The ELM 5-23MM meets all substitution criteria as a parametric equivalent, differing only in the nominal length specification (0.910" vs 0.925"), which falls within the mechanical tolerance range for T1 LED standoff applications within the ELM 5 series.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the ELM 5-925 and ELM 5-23MM are Active product status components with identical regulatory certifications (ROHS3 Compliant, MSL 1). Selection between these parts should be based on mechanical clearance requirements and available inventory. The ELM 5-23MM offers significantly higher stock availability (7087 pieces versus 971 pieces), supporting supply chain continuity for high-volume applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What is the primary difference between ELM 5-925 and ELM 5-23MM? A: The parts differ in nominal length specification. The ELM 5-925 is 0.925" (23.50mm) while the ELM 5-23MM is 0.910" (23.11mm). Both are T1 LED standoffs in black PVC within the ELM 5 series.

Q: Are both parts RoHS3 compliant? A: Yes. Both ELM 5-925 and ELM 5-23MM hold full ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in all applications? A: Substitution is appropriate where the 0.015" (0.39mm) length difference does not affect mechanical clearance or performance. Design verification is required for applications with tight vertical spacing constraints.

Q: What packaging is supplied for these parts? A: Both ELM 5-925 and ELM 5-23MM are supplied in bag packaging.

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs? A: Selection depends on the specific mechanical requirements of the application. Both parts are Active status and equally supported by Bivar Inc.
