ELM 7-10MM LED Standoff Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELM 7-10MM is a T1 LED standoff manufactured by Bivar Inc., designed for vertical mounting applications with a 10.00mm (0.393") 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 equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters align with the original specification, enabling direct replacement in applications where the primary part is unavailable or when inventory constraints require alternative sourcing.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the ELM 7-10MM are qualified based on the following criteria:

Primary Substitution Parameters:

• LED Type: T1 (fixed requirement)
• LED Package Size: 3mm (fixed requirement)
• Lead Configuration: 2-Lead (fixed requirement)
• Color: Black (fixed requirement)
• Material: PVC or equivalent mechanical material
• Length: Within 0.380" to 0.393" range (mechanical tolerance for vertical mounting)
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant (regulatory requirement)
• MSL Rating: 1 (Unlimited) (environmental stability requirement)

The ELM 5-390 qualifies as a parametric equivalent due to matching LED type, package size, lead configuration, color, material, and RoHS compliance, with length variation of 0.390" (9.91mm) within acceptable mechanical tolerance.

The H-201C qualifies as a parametric equivalent despite material variation (Nylon vs. PVC) because it maintains all critical electrical parameters (T1 LED type, 3mm package, 2-lead configuration) and mechanical compatibility, with length of 0.380" (9.65mm) within acceptable tolerance for vertical mounting applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

ELM 5-390 Selection Criteria: The ELM 5-390 provides direct substitution with minimal dimensional variance (0.390" vs. 0.393"). Both parts share identical material composition (PVC), manufacturer origin, and regulatory compliance status. This substitute is appropriate for applications where the 0.003" length difference does not impact mechanical clearance or assembly requirements.

H-201C Selection Criteria: The H-201C functions as a substitute with material differentiation (Nylon vs. PVC). The 0.380" length represents a 0.013" reduction from the original specification. This substitute maintains all critical electrical parameters and regulatory compliance. Material selection between PVC and Nylon should be evaluated based on application-specific environmental exposure, temperature range, and mechanical stress requirements.

Compliance Verification: All three parts maintain ROHS3 compliance, MSL Level 1 rating, and identical ECCN/HTSUS classifications, confirming regulatory equivalence for production environments.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ELM 5-390 be used as a direct replacement for ELM 7-10MM?

A: Yes. The ELM 5-390 qualifies as a direct parametric equivalent. The length difference of 0.003" (0.09mm) falls within acceptable mechanical tolerance for vertical LED mounting applications. Both parts share identical material (PVC), LED type (T1), package size (3mm), lead configuration (2-lead), and regulatory compliance status.

Q: What is the primary difference between H-201C and the original ELM 7-10MM?

A: The H-201C differs in two parameters: material composition (Nylon vs. PVC) and length (0.380" vs. 0.393"). The material change may affect thermal and chemical resistance properties. The length reduction of 0.013" should be evaluated for mechanical clearance in the target application. All electrical parameters and regulatory compliance remain equivalent.

Q: Are all three parts interchangeable in the same application?

A: Interchangeability depends on application-specific mechanical and environmental requirements. All three parts maintain identical electrical specifications (T1 LED type, 3mm package, 2-lead configuration) and regulatory compliance. Length and material variations must be assessed against mechanical clearance, temperature exposure, and chemical environment specifications of the target application.

Q: What inventory levels are available for each part?

A: ELM 7-10MM: 680 Pcs; ELM 5-390: 2,242 Pcs; H-201C: 63,104 Pcs. Inventory availability should be considered when selecting between equivalent parts.

Q: Do all substitute parts carry the same certifications?

A: Yes. All three parts are RoHS3 compliant, carry MSL Level 1 rating, and share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (3926.90.9985) classifications. Regulatory and environmental compliance is equivalent across all options.

Q: How does the Nylon material in H-201C compare to PVC in terms of application suitability?

A: Material selection between Nylon and PVC should be based on application requirements. PVC (ELM 7-10MM and ELM 5-390) and Nylon (H-201C) differ in thermal stability, chemical resistance, and mechanical properties. Application environment, temperature range, and exposure to solvents or UV radiation should guide material selection.
