ELM 7-200 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELM 7-200 is a T1 LED standoff manufactured by Bivar Inc., designed for vertical mounting applications with a 0.200" (5.08mm) height. This component is constructed from black PVC material and accommodates standard T1 LED packages. The part maintains Active product status and is ROHS3 compliant, making it suitable for current production environments. Identifying equivalent substitute parts ensures supply chain continuity and provides alternative sourcing options when the primary part becomes unavailable or when inventory constraints require alternative selection.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the ELM 7-200 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• LED Type: T1
• Length: 0.200" (5.08mm)
• Material: PVC
• Color: Black
• Mounting Orientation: Vertical
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

The substitute part ELM 2-5MM meets all mandatory parameters, confirming functional and mechanical equivalence. Both parts are manufactured by Bivar Inc. and share identical dimensional and material specifications, enabling direct substitution in applications requiring T1 LED standoffs with 0.200" height in vertical mounting configurations.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both ELM 7-200 and ELM 2-5MM are Active products with ROHS3 compliance and identical Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 ratings. Selection between these parts should be based on:

Inventory Availability: ELM 2-5MM currently maintains higher inventory (2755 Pcs) compared to ELM 7-200 (1005 Pcs), providing greater supply assurance for high-volume production requirements.

Regulatory Compliance: Both parts satisfy ROHS3 requirements. ELM 2-5MM includes documented REACH Unaffected status, providing additional regulatory clarity for applications subject to REACH regulations.

Series Designation: ELM 7-200 belongs to the ELM 7 series (Base Product Number ELM7-2), while ELM 2-5MM belongs to the ELM 2 series (Base Product Number ELM2-5). Series designation does not affect functional equivalence but may be relevant for design documentation and traceability purposes.

Tariff Classification: HTSUS codes differ between parts (ELM 7-200: 3926.90.9985; ELM 2-5MM: 8547.20.0000), which may impact landed cost calculations for international procurement.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ELM 2-5MM be used as a direct replacement for ELM 7-200 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical specifications for LED type (T1), length (0.200"/5.08mm), material (PVC), color (black), and mounting orientation (vertical). No design modifications are required for substitution.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between ELM 7-200 and ELM 2-5MM?

A: Both parts are ROHS3 compliant with Moisture Sensitivity Level 1. ELM 2-5MM includes REACH Unaffected status documentation. Both carry EAR99 ECCN classification.

Q: What is the significance of the different series designations (ELM 7 vs. ELM 2)?

A: Series designation reflects internal Bivar Inc. product line organization but does not affect electrical or mechanical performance. Both series produce functionally equivalent T1 LED standoffs with identical dimensional and material properties.

Q: Does packaging format differ between these parts?

A: No. Both ELM 7-200 and ELM 2-5MM are supplied in Bag packaging format.

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs?

A: Selection should prioritize current inventory availability and supply chain requirements. ELM 2-5MM offers higher current inventory levels and documented REACH status. Both parts are Active and suitable for new production designs.

Q: Are there any mechanical or dimensional tolerances specified for these standoffs?

A: The provided specifications confirm identical length (0.200"/5.08mm), material (PVC), and LED accommodation (T1). Additional tolerance information is not included in the provided parameters.
