ELM 7-375 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELM 7-375 is a T1 LED Standoff manufactured by Bivar Inc., constructed from black PVC material with a length of 0.375" (9.53mm). This component is designed for vertical mounting applications requiring a 3mm LED holder with 2-lead configuration. The part maintains Active product status and is RoHS3 compliant with MSL Level 1 (Unlimited moisture sensitivity rating).

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent functional performance can be achieved through alternative Bivar Inc. components that maintain compatibility with T1 LED specifications while accommodating minor dimensional and material variations within acceptable engineering tolerances.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the ELM 7-375 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Primary Compatibility Criteria:

• LED Type: T1 (fixed requirement)
• Color: Black (fixed requirement)
• Configuration: Vertical Mount, 2-Lead (fixed requirement)
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 (fixed requirement)
• MSL Rating: 1 (Unlimited) (fixed requirement)
• Manufacturer: Bivar Inc. (fixed requirement)

Variable Parameters Allowing Substitution:

• Length: 0.375" ± tolerance (0.365" to 0.390" range acceptable)
• Material: PVC or Nylon (both acceptable for this application category)

The three identified substitute parts (ELM 2-365, ELM 5-390, H-201C) maintain all primary compatibility criteria while varying in length and material composition within acceptable engineering parameters for T1 LED standoff applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

ELM 2-365 (0.365" Length, PVC): Shortest available substitute with 0.010" reduction from primary specification. Maintains identical material composition (PVC) and all compliance certifications. Suitable for applications where reduced standoff height is acceptable. Highest inventory availability among PVC variants at 16,125 units.

ELM 5-390 (0.390" Length, PVC): Longest available substitute with 0.015" increase from primary specification. Maintains identical material composition (PVC) and all compliance certifications. Suitable for applications requiring increased standoff height. Moderate inventory availability at 2,242 units.

H-201C (0.380" Length, Nylon): Material alternative using Nylon instead of PVC with length closest to primary specification (0.005" variance). Maintains all compliance certifications and MSL rating. Configuration differs as right-angle mount rather than vertical mount. Highest inventory availability at 63,104 units. Material substitution from PVC to Nylon requires application-specific compatibility assessment.

All substitute parts maintain Active product status and ROHS3 compliance, ensuring regulatory and supply chain continuity.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ELM 2-365 be used as a direct replacement for ELM 7-375?

A: ELM 2-365 is a parametric equivalent with identical LED type (T1), color (Black), material (PVC), and compliance ratings. The 0.010" length reduction (0.365" vs. 0.375") must be evaluated against application-specific height requirements. Both parts maintain vertical mount configuration and 2-lead design.

Q: What is the primary difference between ELM 5-390 and ELM 7-375?

A: ELM 5-390 provides a 0.015" longer standoff (0.390" vs. 0.375") while maintaining identical material (PVC), LED type (T1), color (Black), and all compliance specifications. Selection depends on required PCB-to-LED distance in the application.

Q: Why is H-201C listed as a substitute if it uses Nylon instead of PVC?

A: H-201C maintains all critical compatibility parameters: T1 LED type, Black color, vertical mounting capability, 2-lead configuration, and ROHS3 compliance. Material substitution from PVC to Nylon is permitted within this product category. The 0.005" length difference (0.380" vs. 0.375") falls within acceptable tolerance. Material selection should be confirmed against specific application environmental and mechanical requirements.

Q: Are all substitute parts manufactured by the same company?

A: Yes. All substitute parts (ELM 2-365, ELM 5-390, H-201C) are manufactured by Bivar Inc., the same manufacturer as the primary part ELM 7-375. This ensures consistent design standards and quality control across the substitution group.

Q: What does the length specification represent?

A: Length specification indicates the standoff height from the PCB mounting surface to the LED seating position. Variations in length (0.365" to 0.390") affect the vertical distance between the PCB and the LED component, which must be compatible with the application's mechanical and optical requirements.

Q: Are all parts in this substitution group RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. ELM 7-375, ELM 2-365, ELM 5-390, and H-201C all maintain ROHS3 compliance status with MSL Level 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, ensuring regulatory compliance and environmental stability across all substitute options.
