ELM 7-9MM LED Standoff Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELM 7-9MM is an active T1 LED standoff manufactured by Bivar Inc., designed for vertical mounting applications. This component features a black PVC construction with a 0.354" (8.99mm) length and accommodates T1 LED packages. The part is RoHS3 compliant and carries MSL Level 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating.

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters align with the main part specifications, enabling direct functional replacement in applications where dimensional tolerances and material properties remain compatible.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the ELM 7-9MM are identified based on the following critical parameters:

Substitution Criteria:

• LED Type: T1 (exact match required)
• Material: PVC (exact match required)
• Color: Black (exact match required)
• Manufacturer: Bivar Inc. (same manufacturer ensures design compatibility)
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant (regulatory alignment)
• MSL Rating: Level 1 (Unlimited) (moisture sensitivity compatibility)

Allowable Variation:

• Length tolerance: ±0.015" (±0.38mm) from nominal 0.354" (8.99mm)

The substitute parts ELM 2-350 and ELM 2-365 meet all critical parameters. Both are T1 LED standoffs manufactured from black PVC by Bivar Inc., with identical RoHS3 compliance and MSL Level 1 ratings. Length variations fall within acceptable mechanical tolerances for vertical mounting applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

ELM 7-9MM Primary Selection: Use when the exact 0.354" (8.99mm) length specification is required for the application design. Active product status ensures continued manufacturer support and supply chain availability.

ELM 2-350 Substitute Selection: This part provides a 0.004" (0.10mm) shorter standoff length compared to the main part. Select when application tolerance permits the reduced height and higher inventory availability is advantageous. All compliance certifications and material properties remain equivalent.

ELM 2-365 Substitute Selection: This part provides a 0.011" (0.28mm) taller standoff length compared to the main part. Select when application tolerance permits the increased height. This substitute offers the highest inventory availability among all options while maintaining full regulatory compliance and material equivalence.

All three parts carry identical RoHS3 compliance and MSL Level 1 ratings, ensuring equivalent environmental and regulatory performance in production and field deployment.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ELM 2-350 and ELM 2-365 be used interchangeably with ELM 7-9MM?

A: Yes, within application-specific dimensional tolerances. All three parts share identical LED type (T1), material (PVC), color (Black), manufacturer (Bivar Inc.), and compliance ratings (RoHS3, MSL Level 1). Length variations of ±0.004" to ±0.011" must be acceptable for the intended mounting application.

Q: What is the maximum allowable length variation for substitution?

A: The substitute parts vary by ±0.015" (±0.38mm) from the main part nominal length of 0.354" (8.99mm). ELM 2-350 measures 0.350" (8.89mm) and ELM 2-365 measures 0.365" (9.27mm). Verify application mechanical clearances before selection.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. ELM 7-9MM, ELM 2-350, and ELM 2-365 are all RoHS3 compliant. Regulatory requirements are equivalent across all three parts.

Q: What is the MSL rating for these parts?

A: All three parts carry MSL Level 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating. No special moisture control measures are required during storage, handling, or assembly.

Q: Which substitute part has the best inventory availability?

A: ELM 2-365 has the highest inventory level at 16,125 pieces, followed by ELM 2-350 at 3,507 pieces. The main part ELM 7-9MM has 1,107 pieces in stock.

Q: Are these parts suitable for automated assembly?

A: All parts are supplied in Bag packaging format. Confirm packaging compatibility with your assembly equipment specifications before production implementation.
