Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 456-480 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Primary Compatibility Criteria:

• LED Type: T1 and T1 3/4 compatibility required
• Material: Nylon construction
• Color: White finish
• Series: 456 family designation
• Compliance: RoHS3 compliance maintained

Dimensional Tolerance Consideration: The 456-500 substitute part differs in length specification (0.500" / 12.70mm versus 0.480" / 12.19mm). This 0.020" (0.51mm) dimensional variance is permissible in applications where LED standoff height tolerance allows for this increment. Both parts maintain identical LED type support, material composition, and regulatory compliance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

456-480 Selection Criteria: Select the 456-480 when application PCB layout and LED assembly design specifications require a 0.480" (12.19mm) standoff height. This part maintains Active product status with established supply chain availability.

456-500 Selection Criteria: The 456-500 substitute is applicable when design tolerance permits a 0.500" (12.70mm) standoff height. This part offers higher current inventory levels (2933 Pcs versus 1053 Pcs) and may provide improved lead time performance. Both parts maintain identical regulatory compliance, material properties, and LED type support.

Compliance Assurance: Both parts are ROHS3 compliant, carry EAR99 export classification, and maintain MSL Level 1 rating. Selection between these parts does not introduce compliance risk or regulatory variance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 456-500 be used as a direct replacement for 456-480?

A: The 456-500 functions as a substitute when application design tolerances accommodate the 0.020" (0.51mm) additional standoff height. LED type support, material composition, and regulatory compliance are identical. Verify PCB layout and LED assembly clearance specifications before substitution.

Q: What is the primary difference between these parts?

A: The sole dimensional difference is standoff length: 456-480 measures 0.480" (12.19mm) while 456-500 measures 0.500" (12.70mm). All other parameters including LED compatibility, material, color, and compliance specifications are identical.

Q: Are both parts manufactured by the same company?

A: Yes, both 456-480 and 456-500 are manufactured by Bivar Inc. and belong to the 456 series product family.

Q: Do these parts have different moisture sensitivity requirements?

A: No. Both parts carry MSL Level 1 (Unlimited) rating, indicating identical moisture sensitivity classification and storage requirements.

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs?

A: Selection depends on required standoff height specification. If design permits 0.500" height, the 456-500 offers higher inventory availability. If 0.480" height is specified, use 456-480. Both parts are Active and suitable for new applications.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: Both parts are supplied in Bag packaging format with identical handling and storage requirements.
