ERM 1-230

Part Overview

The ERM 1-230 is an LED mounting standoff manufactured by Bivar Inc., designed for vertical orientation of 2 and 3 lead LEDs. This component features a black PVC construction with a 0.230" (5.84mm) height and is actively produced with full ROHS3 compliance. Component substitution may be necessary due to inventory availability, procurement timelines, or specific application requirements where dimensional flexibility within tolerance ranges is acceptable.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts within the ERM 1 series maintain functional equivalence through common material composition (black PVC), identical LED lead configuration support (2 and 3 lead LEDs), and consistent regulatory compliance (ROHS3). Substitutes are qualified based on the following critical parameters:

• Material and Color: Black PVC construction ensures mechanical and thermal consistency across the series
• LED Configuration: Support for 2 and 3 lead LEDs remains constant
• Series Membership: All parts belong to the ERM 1 series, ensuring design compatibility
• Regulatory Compliance: ROHS3 status and MSL 1 rating are uniform across qualified substitutes
• Length Tolerance: Dimensional height variations within the product series are documented and controlled

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the ERM 1-230 and ERM 1-6MM maintain active product status with identical ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 certification. Selection between these parts depends on the height dimensional requirement for the specific assembly. The ERM 1-230 provides 0.230" (5.84mm) standoff height, while the ERM 1-6MM offers 0.240" (6.10mm) height. Both components are manufactured from identical black PVC material and support the same 2 and 3 lead LED configurations. Availability and lead time considerations should be evaluated based on current procurement needs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ERM 1-6MM replace ERM 1-230 in my application?

A: ERM 1-6MM is a parametric equivalent within the ERM 1 series. Both parts share identical material composition, LED lead configuration support, and regulatory compliance. The primary difference is the standoff height: ERM 1-230 provides 0.230" (5.84mm) while ERM 1-6MM provides 0.240" (6.10mm). Substitution is acceptable if the additional 0.010" (0.26mm) height does not violate your assembly constraints.

Q: Are both parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. Both ERM 1-230 and ERM 1-6MM carry ROHS3 compliance certification with MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity level, meeting the same regulatory standards.

Q: Which part should I select for new designs?

A: Both parts are actively manufactured by Bivar Inc. Selection should be based on the required standoff height for your LED mounting application and current inventory availability. Ensure the chosen height accommodates your PCB layout and optical requirements.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: Both parts are supplied in bag packaging format. Verify minimum order quantities and lead times with your supplier based on your production volume requirements.
