ELM 5-935 LED Standoff Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELM 5-935 is a T1 LED standoff manufactured by Bivar Inc., designed for vertical mounting applications with a 0.935" (23.75mm) 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 inventory constraints, lead time requirements, or design flexibility necessitate alternative components that maintain functional and mechanical compatibility within the ELM 5 series.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution within the ELM 5 series is determined by strict adherence to the following parameters:

Critical Compatibility Parameters:

• Manufacturer: Bivar Inc. (same manufacturer required)
• Series: ELM 5 (same product series)
• LED Type: T1 (same LED form factor)
• Material: Black PVC (same material composition)
• LED Size: 3MM (same LED cavity size)
• Lead Configuration: 2LD (same lead count and arrangement)
• Mounting Style: Vertical (same orientation)
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant (same compliance level)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (same MSL rating)

Variable Parameter:

• Length: Tolerance within the ELM 5 series allows for minor dimensional variations (0.910" to 0.935")

The ELM 5-23MM substitute maintains all critical parameters while operating within acceptable length tolerances for the product category.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both ELM 5-935 and ELM 5-23MM are Active products with ROHS3 compliance and identical Moisture Sensitivity Level ratings. Selection between these parts is based on:

Inventory Availability: ELM 5-23MM maintains higher stock levels (7087 Pcs) compared to ELM 5-935 (945 Pcs), supporting supply chain continuity.

Dimensional Tolerance: The 0.025" (0.64mm) length difference between parts falls within standard mechanical tolerances for vertical LED standoff applications within the ELM 5 series. Both parts maintain identical functional characteristics for T1 LED mounting.

Compliance Equivalence: Both parts carry identical RoHS3 compliance and MSL ratings, ensuring equivalent performance in regulated manufacturing environments.

Series Consistency: Both components belong to the ELM 5 series and share identical material, LED type, and lead configuration specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ELM 5-23MM be used as a direct replacement for ELM 5-935?

A: Yes. Both parts are manufactured by Bivar Inc. within the ELM 5 series and maintain identical specifications for LED type (T1), material (Black PVC), LED size (3MM), lead configuration (2LD), mounting style (Vertical), RoHS compliance, and MSL rating. The 0.025" length difference is within acceptable tolerances for this product category.

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

A: The ELM 5-935 measures 0.935" (23.75mm) while the ELM 5-23MM measures 0.910" (23.11mm). This 0.025" variation represents a dimensional tolerance within the ELM 5 series design specification and does not affect functional compatibility for vertical LED standoff applications.

Q: Are both parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. Both ELM 5-935 and ELM 5-23MM carry ROHS3 compliance certification, meeting current regulatory requirements for restricted substance use.

Q: What does Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 mean?

A: MSL 1 indicates unlimited moisture sensitivity protection. Both parts can be stored and handled without moisture-related constraints, simplifying inventory management and logistics.

Q: Are there any packaging differences between these parts?

A: Both parts are supplied in Bag packaging format, maintaining consistent handling and storage requirements.

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs?

A: Selection should be based on current inventory availability and specific mechanical clearance requirements. Both parts are Active products suitable for production use. Verify mechanical fit within your specific application geometry before final selection.
