ELM 7-15MM LED Standoff Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELM 7-15MM is a T1 LED standoff manufactured by Bivar Inc., designed to mount vertically with a 15.00mm (0.591") height using black PVC material. This component is active in production status and ROHS3 compliant. Finding equivalent substitute parts is necessary when the primary part is unavailable, when supply chain considerations require alternative sourcing, or when system design allows for compatible dimensions within standard parameter tolerances.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the ELM 7-15MM with the ELM 4-600 is permissible based on the following alignment of critical parameters:

Matching Parameters:

• LED Type: Both components use T1 LED configuration
• Material: Both use black PVC construction
• Color: Both are black
• Mounting Style: Both mount vertically
• Lead Count: Both feature 2 leads
• Manufacturer: Both manufactured by Bivar Inc.
• RoHS Status: Both are ROHS3 compliant
• MSL Rating: Both rated at MSL 1 (Unlimited)

Dimensional Consideration: The ELM 4-600 features a length of 0.600" (15.24mm), which differs from the ELM 7-15MM at 0.591" (15.00mm). This 0.24mm dimensional variance exists within the tolerance band of standard LED standoff mechanical specifications for equivalent form-fit-function applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the ELM 7-15MM and ELM 4-600 are active production components with equivalent compliance certifications (ROHS3). Selection between these parts is based on dimensional requirements specific to the application. The ELM 7-15MM provides a 15.00mm height, while the ELM 4-600 provides 15.24mm height. Both parts maintain identical electrical and material properties, making either suitable for applications where the dimensional difference is within tolerance specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the ELM 7-15MM and ELM 4-600 mechanically interchangeable? A: Both parts share identical material (black PVC), LED type (T1), mounting orientation (vertical), and lead configuration (2 leads). The length difference of 0.24mm exists between the two parts and should be evaluated against application mechanical constraints.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards? A: Yes. Both the ELM 7-15MM and ELM 4-600 are ROHS3 compliant and rated at MSL 1 (Unlimited). Both parts carry the same ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS classification.

Q: Is either part preferred for new designs? A: Both parts maintain active production status. Part selection should be determined by application-specific height requirements and circuit board layout constraints.

Q: What is the significance of the different length specifications? A: The ELM 7-15MM is specified at 0.591" (15.00mm), while the ELM 4-600 is specified at 0.600" (15.24mm). This difference affects vertical clearance and height-sensitive applications. Verify that the substitute part's length accommodates the mechanical envelope of your assembly.

Q: Can these parts be used in the same PCB footprint? A: Both parts are manufactured from identical materials with matching lead configurations and mounting styles. Footprint compatibility depends on the specific design tolerance of the PCB mounting holes and the vertical clearance requirements of the assembly.
