ELM 7-23MM LED Standoff Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELM 7-23MM is a T1 LED standoff manufactured by Bivar Inc., designed for vertical mounting applications with a 23.00mm length. This component is constructed from black PVC material and accommodates T1 LED packages with a 2-lead configuration. The part maintains Active product status and is RoHS3 compliant, making it suitable for current production environments. Substitute parts may be required due to inventory availability, supply chain considerations, or specific application requirements within the allowed parameter range.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The ELM 5-23MM qualifies as a parametric equivalent to the ELM 7-23MM based on the following criteria:

Matching Parameters:

• LED Type: T1 (identical form factor)
• Material: Black PVC (identical construction)
• Lead Configuration: 2LD (identical electrical interface)
• Color: Black (identical visual specification)
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant (identical regulatory compliance)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) (identical handling requirements)
• Packaging: Bag (identical delivery format)

Allowable Variance:

• Length: 0.910" (23.11mm) versus 0.906" (23.00mm) represents a 0.11mm difference, which falls within standard mechanical tolerance for LED standoff applications where vertical spacing accommodates minor dimensional variation.

Both parts belong to the same product category (LED standoffs for vertical mounting) and share identical functional characteristics for T1 LED package support.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the ELM 7-23MM and ELM 5-23MM maintain Active product status with full RoHS3 compliance, ensuring suitability for current and future production requirements. The ELM 5-23MM offers higher inventory availability (7087 pieces versus 953 pieces), which may provide supply chain advantages. The dimensional difference of 0.11mm between the two parts falls within standard mechanical tolerances for LED standoff applications and does not affect functional performance in vertical mounting configurations. Selection between these parts should be based on inventory availability, delivery timeline requirements, and specific application clearance specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the ELM 5-23MM be used as a direct replacement for the ELM 7-23MM?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical LED type (T1), material (black PVC), lead configuration (2LD), color, and regulatory compliance (RoHS3). The length difference of 0.11mm is within standard mechanical tolerance for LED standoff applications.

Q: What is the significance of the length difference between these parts?

A: The ELM 7-23MM measures 0.906" (23.00mm) while the ELM 5-23MM measures 0.910" (23.11mm). This 0.11mm variance is typical within manufacturing tolerances for PVC standoff components and does not affect vertical mounting performance or LED package compatibility.

Q: Are both parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. Both the ELM 7-23MM and ELM 5-23MM carry RoHS3 compliance certification, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic component manufacturing.

Q: What is the Moisture Sensitivity Level for these parts?

A: Both parts have MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions. Standard storage conditions apply without special desiccant or humidity control requirements.

Q: Do these parts have different packaging formats?

A: No. Both parts are supplied in Bag packaging format, maintaining consistent handling and storage procedures.

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs?

A: Either part is suitable for new designs. Selection should consider inventory availability, supply chain lead times, and specific application clearance requirements. Both maintain identical functional characteristics for T1 LED vertical mounting applications.
