ELM 7-300 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELM 7-300 is a T1 LED standoff manufactured by Bivar Inc., constructed from black PVC material with a 0.300" (7.62mm) length. This component is designed for vertical mounting applications with 3mm LED compatibility and 2-lead configuration. The part maintains Active product status and is ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters align with application requirements, including LED type, material composition, lead configuration, and dimensional specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for ELM 7-300 are classified based on the following allowed parameters: LED type (T1), color (Black), lead configuration (2LD), and material composition (PVC or Nylon). Length variations are permitted within the substitute group as dimensional tolerance is a primary differentiator in standoff applications. All substitutes maintain ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating.

The substitute group includes:

• ELM Series (PVC Material): ELM 2-285, ELM 2-315, ELM 4-315 with varying lengths
• H-101 Series (Nylon Material): H-101C, H-101C-1 with fixed 0.285" length

Material substitution between PVC and Nylon is permitted when mechanical and thermal requirements align, as both materials support identical LED and lead specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All substitute parts maintain Active product status and ROHS3 compliance, ensuring regulatory alignment with ELM 7-300. Selection between PVC and Nylon material variants depends on application thermal and mechanical requirements. ELM 2-285 and H-101C/H-101C-1 provide shorter standoff heights (0.285"), suitable for compact PCB layouts. ELM 2-315 and ELM 4-315 provide extended heights (0.315"), accommodating applications requiring increased clearance. ELM 7-300 at 0.300" (7.62mm) represents the nominal height within this product family. All parts share identical LED type (T1), lead configuration (2LD), and moisture sensitivity characteristics, enabling direct functional substitution when dimensional constraints permit.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ELM 2-285 replace ELM 7-300 in all applications? A: ELM 2-285 is functionally equivalent in LED type, material (PVC), and lead configuration. The 0.015" (0.38mm) height reduction must be evaluated against PCB clearance and component spacing requirements. Substitution is valid when dimensional tolerance accommodates the shorter standoff.

Q: What is the difference between H-101C and H-101C-1? A: Both parts are identical in all specified parameters: T1 LED type, Nylon material, Black color, 0.285" length, and 2LD configuration. Selection between these variants depends on inventory availability and supplier preference, as no technical differentiation exists in provided specifications.

Q: Can Nylon (H-101C series) replace PVC (ELM series) standoffs? A: Material substitution between Nylon and PVC is permitted when application thermal and mechanical environments align. Both materials support identical LED and lead specifications. Nylon offers different mechanical properties; application-specific thermal and stress analysis determines suitability.

Q: Why are multiple length options available? A: Standoff height directly affects PCB clearance, component spacing, and assembly fit. ELM 7-300 at 0.300" serves applications requiring nominal clearance. Shorter variants (0.285") accommodate compact designs; longer variants (0.315") provide increased clearance for applications with taller adjacent components.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant? A: Yes. All listed substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, ensuring regulatory and environmental compatibility with ELM 7-300 across all identified alternatives.
