ELM 7-585 LED Standoff Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELM 7-585 is a T1 LED standoff manufactured by Bivar Inc., designed for vertical mounting applications with a 0.585" (14.86mm) length. This component is constructed from black PVC material and accommodates 3MM LED configurations with 2-lead connections. The part maintains Active product status and is ROHS3 compliant, making it suitable for current production environments. Substitute parts are identified when inventory constraints, lead time requirements, or design flexibility necessitate alternative components that maintain functional equivalence within specified electrical and mechanical parameters.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the ELM 7-585 are identified based on strict parameter alignment within the following criteria:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Manufacturer: Bivar Inc.
• LED Type: T1
• Material: Black PVC
• Lead Configuration: 2LD (2-lead)
• Mounting Style: Vertical
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant
• MSL Rating: 1 (Unlimited)

Allowable Variation:

• Length tolerance: Parts within the ELM series with length specifications that accommodate the same PCB footprint and mounting hole spacing are considered functionally equivalent.

The ELM 4-600 qualifies as a parametric equivalent based on identical material composition, LED type, lead configuration, compliance certifications, and moisture sensitivity rating. The length differential (0.600" versus 0.585") represents a 0.015" (0.38mm) variation that falls within acceptable mechanical tolerance for vertical standoff applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

ELM 7-585 Primary Selection: Use the ELM 7-585 when the exact 0.585" (14.86mm) standoff height is specified in the design documentation and PCB layout has been validated for this dimension.

ELM 4-600 Substitute Selection: The ELM 4-600 is functionally equivalent for applications where a 0.015" (0.38mm) increase in standoff height is mechanically acceptable. Both parts maintain identical electrical performance, material properties, and regulatory compliance. The ELM 4-600 is suitable for substitution when:

• Design specifications permit the increased height
• PCB clearance and component spacing accommodate the additional 0.015" dimension
• Inventory availability or lead time requirements necessitate alternative sourcing

Both parts carry Active product status and ROHS3 compliance, ensuring suitability for current production and regulatory requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the ELM 4-600 be used as a direct replacement for the ELM 7-585?

A: The ELM 4-600 is a functional equivalent with a 0.015" (0.38mm) length increase. Direct substitution is possible only if the design accommodates this height variation. Verify PCB layout and component clearance before implementation.

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

A: The ELM 7-585 measures 0.585" while the ELM 4-600 measures 0.600". This 0.015" difference affects the vertical standoff height above the PCB. Applications with tight vertical clearance constraints must use the ELM 7-585. Applications with adequate clearance can use either part.

Q: Are both parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. Both the ELM 7-585 and ELM 4-600 are ROHS3 compliant and carry MSL Rating 1 (Unlimited), making them suitable for production environments with standard moisture handling requirements.

Q: Do these parts have identical electrical characteristics?

A: Both parts are T1 LED standoffs with 2-lead configuration and 3MM LED accommodation. Electrical performance is determined by the LED component itself, not the standoff. The standoff provides mechanical support and positioning only.

Q: What packaging format is used for both parts?

A: Both the ELM 7-585 and ELM 4-600 are supplied in Bag packaging format.

Q: Are there inventory considerations for selecting between these parts?

A: The ELM 7-585 has 777 pieces in stock, while the ELM 4-600 has 1058 pieces in stock. Availability may influence substitution decisions when immediate delivery is required.
