ERM 1-400 LED Standoff Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ERM 1-400 is an LED standoff manufactured by Bivar Inc., designed for 2 and 3 lead LEDs with a vertical mounting orientation. This component is a black PVC standoff with a 0.400" (10.16mm) height, currently in Active product status with ROHS3 compliance. Alternative models become necessary when specific mechanical dimensions are required to accommodate varying PCB layouts, LED package heights, or assembly configurations where the standard 0.400" height does not meet design constraints.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The ERM 1-410 serves as a parametric equivalent to the ERM 1-400 within the ERM 1 series. Both parts maintain identical functional characteristics with respect to LED accommodation (2 and 3 lead LEDs), material composition (black PVC), manufacturer origin (Bivar Inc.), and compliance certifications (ROHS3 Compliant, MSL 1). The primary distinction between these parts is the mechanical dimension: standoff length. The ERM 1-400 features a 0.400" (10.16mm) height, while the ERM 1-410 provides a 0.410" (10.41mm) height. This 0.010" (0.25mm) dimensional difference allows selection based on specific PCB-to-component clearance requirements. Both parts share identical series designation, packaging format, product status, and regulatory compliance, establishing them as direct mechanical substitutes where dimensional constraints permit.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the ERM 1-400 and ERM 1-410 are Active-status components manufactured by Bivar Inc. with identical ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 certification. The selection between these two parts is determined exclusively by mechanical height requirements. The ERM 1-400 with its 0.400" standoff height is appropriate for designs requiring minimal PCB-to-component spacing, while the ERM 1-410 with its 0.410" height accommodates applications requiring an additional 0.010" of clearance. Both parts are functionally interchangeable for LED accommodation purposes, with the choice based on dimensional fit within the specific assembly configuration.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the ERM 1-410 be substituted for the ERM 1-400 in an existing design?

A: Substitution is possible only when the additional 0.010" (0.25mm) standoff height does not compromise clearance requirements or create mechanical interference with adjacent components or PCB features.

Q: What determines whether I should select the ERM 1-400 or ERM 1-410?

A: The primary selection criterion is the required standoff height for your specific PCB layout and component placement. The ERM 1-400 provides 0.400" height, while the ERM 1-410 provides 0.410" height. Both maintain identical material, LED accommodation, and compliance characteristics.

Q: Are there differences in packaging or availability between these parts?

A: Both parts are supplied in bag packaging format. Inventory levels differ (ERM 1-400: 778 pcs, ERM 1-410: 1382 pcs), but both are in active stock.

Q: Do these parts have identical compliance certifications?

A: Yes. Both the ERM 1-400 and ERM 1-410 meet ROHS3 requirements, carry MSL 1 rating (Unlimited moisture sensitivity), and are classified under identical ECCN and HTSUS codes.

Q: What LED types are compatible with these standoffs?

A: Both standoff models accommodate 2 and 3 lead LEDs in vertical mounting orientation.
