ELM 7-13MM LED Standoff Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELM 7-13MM is a T1 LED standoff manufactured by Bivar Inc., designed for vertical mounting applications with a 0.512" (13.00mm) 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 component interchangeability in applications where dimensional tolerance and material properties permit.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the ELM 7-13MM are identified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional and mechanical compatibility:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• LED Type: T1 (fixed requirement)
• Material: Black PVC (fixed requirement)
• Lead Configuration: 2-Lead (fixed requirement)
• Mounting Style: Vertical (fixed requirement)
• Color: Black (fixed requirement)
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant (fixed requirement)
• Manufacturer: Bivar Inc. (same product family)

Variable Parameter Allowing Substitution:

• Length: Tolerance range permits parts with lengths between 0.500" (12.70mm) and 0.510" (12.95mm) to function as substitutes for the 0.512" (13.00mm) specification

The ELM 2-500 and ELM 2-510 substitute parts maintain identical electrical and material properties while varying only in length within acceptable mechanical tolerances for vertical LED standoff applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

ELM 2-510 Substitute: The ELM 2-510 represents the closest dimensional match to the ELM 7-13MM, with a length variance of only 0.002" (0.05mm). This part maintains all electrical and material specifications identical to the main part. Selection of ELM 2-510 is appropriate when dimensional tolerance of ±0.002" is acceptable within the application circuit board layout and mechanical assembly constraints. Product status is Active with full ROHS3 compliance.

ELM 2-500 Substitute: The ELM 2-500 provides a substitute option with a length variance of 0.012" (0.30mm) from the original specification. This part maintains all electrical and material specifications identical to the main part. Selection of ELM 2-500 is appropriate when dimensional tolerance of ±0.012" is acceptable within the application circuit board layout and mechanical assembly constraints. Product status is Active with full ROHS3 compliance.

Both substitute parts carry Active product status and maintain equivalent compliance certifications, ensuring continued availability and regulatory alignment with the original ELM 7-13MM specification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What determines whether ELM 2-510 or ELM 2-500 can substitute for ELM 7-13MM?

A: Substitution is determined by matching the following fixed parameters: LED Type (T1), Material (Black PVC), Lead Configuration (2-Lead), Mounting Style (Vertical), Color (Black), and RoHS Compliance (ROHS3). The length parameter varies within a tolerance range. Both substitute parts satisfy all fixed parameters.

Q: What is the length difference between the main part and each substitute?

A: ELM 7-13MM measures 0.512" (13.00mm). ELM 2-510 measures 0.510" (12.95mm), representing a 0.002" (0.05mm) difference. ELM 2-500 measures 0.500" (12.70mm), representing a 0.012" (0.30mm) difference.

Q: Are all three parts packaged identically?

A: Yes. ELM 7-13MM, ELM 2-510, and ELM 2-500 are all supplied in Bag packaging.

Q: Do the substitute parts have the same moisture sensitivity rating?

A: Yes. All three parts carry Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity constraints during storage or handling.

Q: Can I use ELM 2-500 in an application designed for ELM 7-13MM?

A: Substitution is possible only if the application circuit board layout and mechanical assembly accommodate a 0.012" (0.30mm) reduction in standoff height. The electrical and material properties are identical.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between the main part and substitutes?

A: No. All three parts are ROHS3 compliant with identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (3926.90.9985) classifications.
