ELM 7-105 LED Standoff Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELM 7-105 is a T1 LED standoff manufactured by Bivar Inc., designed for vertical mounting applications with a 0.105" (2.67mm) height. This component is constructed from black PVC material and accommodates 2-lead configurations. The part is currently in active production status and maintains full ROHS3 compliance with MSL Level 1 rating, indicating unlimited moisture sensitivity tolerance.

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent functional performance can be achieved within the allowed electrical and mechanical parameter ranges for LED standoff applications, particularly when the primary part experiences inventory constraints or when design specifications permit dimensional variation within acceptable tolerances.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The ELM 2-100 is identified as a parametric equivalent to the ELM 7-105 based on the following shared specifications:

Matching Parameters:

  • LED Type: T1 (identical form factor)
  • Material: Black PVC (identical construction)
  • Lead Configuration: 2-Lead (identical electrical interface)
  • Mounting Orientation: Vertical (identical assembly method)
  • Color: Black (identical aesthetic properties)
  • RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant (identical regulatory compliance)
  • Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) (identical handling requirements)

Dimensional Variation: The ELM 2-100 features a height of 0.100" (2.54mm) compared to the ELM 7-105 height of 0.105" (2.67mm). This represents a 0.005" (0.13mm) reduction in standoff height. Substitution is valid when design specifications permit this dimensional tolerance within PCB clearance and component stacking requirements.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Part Selection (ELM 7-105): Select the ELM 7-105 when design specifications require the exact 0.105" (2.67mm) standoff height. This part maintains active production status with ROHS3 compliance and MSL Level 1 rating, ensuring regulatory compliance and unlimited moisture tolerance for standard storage conditions.

Substitute Part Selection (ELM 2-100): The ELM 2-100 is functionally equivalent when design specifications permit a 0.005" (0.13mm) reduction in standoff height. Both parts share identical LED type, material composition, lead configuration, mounting orientation, color, and regulatory compliance status. The ELM 2-100 is suitable for applications where the reduced height does not compromise PCB clearance, component stacking, or functional requirements. This substitute maintains active production status with equivalent ROHS3 compliance and MSL Level 1 rating.

Compliance Verification: Both parts satisfy ROHS3 compliance requirements and MSL Level 1 specifications, eliminating regulatory or environmental handling concerns during substitution.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What is the primary difference between ELM 7-105 and ELM 2-100?

A: The primary difference is standoff height. The ELM 7-105 measures 0.105" (2.67mm), while the ELM 2-100 measures 0.100" (2.54mm). All other parameters—LED type, material, lead configuration, mounting orientation, color, and compliance ratings—are identical.

Q: Can ELM 2-100 be used in place of ELM 7-105 in all applications?

A: Substitution is valid only when design specifications permit the 0.005" (0.13mm) height reduction. Verify that the reduced standoff height does not compromise PCB clearance, component stacking, or functional requirements specific to your application.

Q: Are both parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. Both ELM 7-105 and ELM 2-100 are ROHS3 compliant with MSL Level 1 rating, indicating unlimited moisture sensitivity tolerance and equivalent regulatory compliance.

Q: What is the packaging format for these parts?

A: Both parts are supplied in bag packaging format suitable for standard component handling and storage.

Q: Do these parts share the same lead configuration?

A: Yes. Both parts feature 2-lead configurations for identical electrical interface requirements in vertical mounting applications.

Q: Is there a difference in material composition between the two parts?

A: No. Both parts are constructed from black PVC material with identical mechanical and environmental properties.
