ELM 7-110 LED Standoff Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELM 7-110 is a T1 LED standoff manufactured by Bivar Inc., designed for vertical mounting applications with a 0.110" (2.79mm) height. 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 inventory constraints, lead time requirements, or specific application geometry necessitate alternative standoff heights while maintaining core functional compatibility.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the ELM 7-110 is determined by the following parameters:

Critical Compatibility Parameters:

• LED Type: T1 (fixed requirement)
• Material: Black PVC (fixed requirement)
• Lead Configuration: 2LD (fixed requirement)
• Mounting Style: Vertical (fixed requirement)
• Manufacturer: Bivar Inc. (fixed requirement)

Variable Parameter Allowing Substitution:

• Height: 0.110" (2.79mm) for primary part; alternative heights permitted when application geometry accommodates tolerance

The ELM 4-115 qualifies as a parametric equivalent because it maintains identical specifications across all critical parameters while providing a height variant of 0.115" (2.92mm). This 0.005" (0.13mm) height difference represents a tolerance variation within typical PCB design margins for LED standoff applications.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

ELM 7-110 Primary Selection: Select the ELM 7-110 when the application requires the specified 0.110" (2.79mm) height and inventory availability supports production schedules. This part maintains Active status with ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating, confirming suitability for standard manufacturing environments.

ELM 4-115 Substitute Selection: The ELM 4-115 serves as a direct substitute when the 0.115" (2.92mm) height accommodates PCB design tolerances and application geometry. Both parts share identical material composition, LED type, lead configuration, and compliance certifications. Selection of the substitute is valid when the 0.005" height differential does not conflict with mechanical constraints or optical alignment requirements.

Compliance Verification: Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and MSL Level 1 rating, eliminating compliance-related constraints in substitution decisions. Component selection should be based on height compatibility with specific PCB layouts and mechanical assembly requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ELM 4-115 replace ELM 7-110 in all applications?

A: The ELM 4-115 functions as a substitute only when the 0.005" (0.13mm) height increase does not conflict with PCB design specifications, clearance requirements, or optical alignment tolerances. Verify mechanical fit within the specific application before substitution.

Q: What are the critical parameters that must match between the main part and substitute?

A: The following parameters must remain identical: LED type (T1), material (Black PVC), lead configuration (2LD), mounting style (vertical), and manufacturer (Bivar Inc.). Height is the only variable parameter permitting substitution.

Q: Are both parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes, both ELM 7-110 and ELM 4-115 are ROHS3 compliant with MSL Level 1 (Unlimited) ratings, confirming equivalent environmental and moisture handling characteristics.

Q: What is the height difference between these parts?

A: The ELM 7-110 measures 0.110" (2.79mm) while the ELM 4-115 measures 0.115" (2.92mm), representing a 0.005" (0.13mm) difference. This tolerance variation must be evaluated against specific application geometry.

Q: Do packaging specifications differ between these parts?

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

Q: What inventory status applies to each part?

A: ELM 7-110 maintains 1105 pieces in stock; ELM 4-115 maintains 1684 pieces in stock. Both are classified as New Original inventory.
