ELM 7-100 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELM 7-100 is a T1 LED standoff manufactured by Bivar Inc., designed for vertical mounting applications with a 0.100" (2.54mm) height. This component is constructed from black PVC material and accommodates standard T1 LED packages with 2-lead configuration. The part maintains Active product status and is ROHS3 compliant, making it suitable for current production environments. Substitute parts are identified when inventory constraints, supply chain disruptions, or manufacturing discontinuation necessitate alternative sourcing while maintaining functional and mechanical compatibility.

Key Parameters

Parameter	Value
LED Type	T1
Mounting Style	Vertical
Height	0.100" (2.54mm)
Material	Black PVC
Lead Configuration	2-Lead
RoHS Compliance	ROHS3 Compliant
Moisture Sensitivity Level	1 (Unlimited)

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the ELM 7-100 is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters: LED type (T1), mounting orientation (vertical), standoff height (0.100"/2.54mm), material composition (black PVC), lead count (2-lead), and environmental compliance ratings (ROHS3). The substitute part ELM 2-100 satisfies all these criteria. Both parts are manufactured by Bivar Inc. and share identical functional and mechanical specifications. Substitution is valid based on parametric matching alone; no performance testing or verification is required beyond confirmation of these specified parameters.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both ELM 7-100 and ELM 2-100 are Active products with identical electrical, mechanical, and environmental specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on inventory availability and supply chain requirements. The ELM 7-100 maintains 950 pieces in current stock, while the ELM 2-100 provides significantly higher inventory at 32,038 pieces. Both parts carry ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating, confirming suitability for standard manufacturing and storage conditions without special handling requirements. Direct substitution is supported by parametric equivalence across all specified dimensions and material properties.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Question	Answer
Can ELM 2-100 replace ELM 7-100 in existing designs?	Yes. Both parts are parametrically equivalent across LED type, mounting style, height, material, lead configuration, and compliance ratings. Direct substitution is supported without design modification.
Are there differences in mechanical fit between ELM 7-100 and ELM 2-100?	No. Both parts share identical height (0.100"/2.54mm), material (black PVC), and T1 LED accommodation specifications. Mechanical fit is equivalent.
Do both parts meet the same environmental compliance standards?	Yes. Both ELM 7-100 and ELM 2-100 are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 rating, indicating unlimited shelf life under standard storage conditions.
What is the primary difference between ELM 7-100 and ELM 2-100?	The parts belong to different product series (ELM 7 versus ELM 2) and have different base product numbers (ELM7-1 versus ELM2-1). Functional and mechanical specifications are identical.
Is packaging identical between substitute parts?	Yes. Both parts are supplied in Bag packaging format.
Can these parts be used interchangeably in PCB assembly?	Yes. Identical mechanical dimensions, material properties, and lead configuration support direct interchangeability in PCB assembly processes.
