ERM 1-235 LED Standoff Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ERM 1-235 is an LED mounting standoff manufactured by Bivar Inc., designed for vertical mounting of 2 and 3 lead LEDs. This component features a black PVC construction with a 0.235" (5.97mm) height and is compatible with universal LED applications. The part maintains Active product status and is RoHS3 compliant, making it suitable for current production environments. Equivalent substitute parts may be required due to inventory availability, lead time considerations, or specific application height requirements within the allowed parameter range.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the ERM 1-235 is determined by the following criteria:

Required Matching Parameters:

• Manufacturer: Bivar Inc.
• Series: ERM 1
• LED Configuration: 2 and 3 Lead LEDs
• Material: Black PVC
• Mounting Style: Vertical (SR VERT designation)
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

Allowable Variation:

• Height/Length: Within the ERM 1 series range (mechanical tolerance for universal mounting applications)

The ERM 1-6MM qualifies as a parametric equivalent because it maintains all required matching parameters while operating within the allowed height variation for the ERM 1 series universal mounting platform.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

ERM 1-235 Primary Selection: Use when the exact 0.235" (5.97mm) height is specified in the application design or when inventory of this specific part number is available.

ERM 1-6MM Substitute Selection: Use when ERM 1-235 is unavailable or when the 0.240" (6.10mm) height variation is acceptable within the application's mechanical tolerance. Both parts maintain identical electrical and compliance characteristics, including RoHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating. Both parts are Active status products from Bivar Inc., ensuring continued support and availability.

The 0.005" (0.13mm) height difference between these parts falls within standard mechanical tolerances for universal LED mounting applications within the ERM 1 series.
