ELM 7-700 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELM 7-700 is a T1 LED standoff manufactured by Bivar Inc., designed for vertical mounting applications with a 0.700" (17.78mm) length. This component is constructed from black PVC material and accommodates 3mm LED configurations with 2-lead termination. 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 and mechanical compatibility within specified parameter tolerances.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the ELM 7-700 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Primary Compatibility Criteria:

• LED Type: T1 (fixed requirement)
• Material: Black PVC (fixed requirement)
• Lead Configuration: 2-Lead (fixed requirement)
• Mounting Orientation: Vertical (fixed requirement)
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant (fixed requirement)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) (fixed requirement)

Allowable Variation:

• Length tolerance: Components within the mechanical envelope of 0.670" to 0.700" (17.02mm to 17.78mm) are classified as parametric equivalents, as this dimension accommodates standard PCB mounting hole spacing and vertical clearance requirements for T1 LED standoff applications.

The substitute part ELM 2-17MM meets all primary compatibility criteria and falls within the allowable length tolerance range, qualifying it as a parametric equivalent.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

ELM 7-700 Selection Criteria:

• Primary choice when 0.700" (17.78mm) length specification is explicitly required by PCB design or mechanical assembly constraints.
• Preferred for applications where maximum vertical standoff height is necessary.
• Current inventory: 637 Pcs New Original In Stock.

ELM 2-17MM Selection Criteria:

• Acceptable substitute when the 0.030" (0.76mm) length reduction from 0.700" to 0.670" is compatible with PCB layout and mechanical clearance requirements.
• Suitable for applications where component height flexibility exists within design tolerances.
• Higher inventory availability: 1815 Pcs New Original In Stock.
• Both parts maintain identical RoHS3 compliance and MSL ratings, ensuring equivalent environmental and regulatory performance.

Both parts are Active status components manufactured by Bivar Inc., ensuring continued supply chain viability and technical support.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ELM 2-17MM be used as a direct replacement for ELM 7-700?

A: ELM 2-17MM is a parametric equivalent when the 0.030" (0.76mm) length difference is accommodated by PCB design tolerances. The 0.670" length of ELM 2-17MM is within the allowable mechanical envelope for T1 LED standoff applications. Verify that your PCB mounting hole spacing and vertical clearance specifications permit this dimension variation.

Q: What are the critical parameters that must remain identical between the main part and substitute?

A: LED Type (T1), Material (Black PVC), Lead Configuration (2-Lead), Mounting Orientation (Vertical), Color (Black), RoHS Compliance (ROHS3), and Moisture Sensitivity Level (1 - Unlimited) must remain unchanged. Length variation is the only allowable parameter difference within specified tolerances.

Q: Are there packaging differences between ELM 7-700 and ELM 2-17MM?

A: Both parts are supplied in Bag packaging format. No packaging configuration differences exist between these components.

Q: Do both parts meet the same regulatory and compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both ELM 7-700 and ELM 2-17MM are ROHS3 compliant with Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited). Both carry ECCN classification EAR99, ensuring equivalent regulatory treatment.

Q: What inventory considerations should influence part selection?

A: ELM 2-17MM has higher current inventory (1815 Pcs) compared to ELM 7-700 (637 Pcs). If lead time or availability is a constraint, ELM 2-17MM may provide supply chain advantages while maintaining functional compatibility.
