462-640 LED Standoff Mounting Pad - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Bivar Inc. 462-640 is a T1/T1 3/4 LED standoff mounting pad manufactured from natural nylon with a 0.640" (16.26mm) length. This component functions as a mechanical spacer and positioning element for LED assembly applications. The part maintains Active product status and is RoHS3 compliant with MSL 1 rating.

Substitute parts become necessary when the primary part experiences supply constraints, extended lead times, or when design requirements permit dimensional or material variations within specified tolerance ranges.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 462-640 is determined by the following criteria:

Primary Compatibility Parameters:

• LED type designation (T1, T1 3/4)
• Material composition (Nylon)
• Color specification (Natural)
• RoHS3 compliance status
• MSL rating (1 or equivalent)

Secondary Consideration:

• Length tolerance: Substitute parts with length variations of ±0.015" (0.38mm) from the primary specification may be evaluated for applications where PCB clearance permits dimensional adjustment.

The substitute part CM00624625 (Visual Communications Company - VCC SpaceSetter™ series) shares the core LED type, material, color, and compliance attributes. The length differential of 0.015" (0.38mm) represents the primary dimensional variance between these parts.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Active Production Applications: The 462-640 (Bivar Inc.) is the primary selection due to Active product status and current manufacturing availability (848 pcs in stock).

For Substitute Selection: The CM00624625 (VCC SpaceSetter™) is electrically and mechanically compatible based on shared LED type, material, color, and compliance certifications. However, this part carries Obsolete product status, indicating discontinued manufacturing and limited future availability (973 pcs current inventory).

Selection Criteria:

• If PCB layout accommodates a 0.015" (0.38mm) reduction in standoff height, CM00624625 is functionally equivalent.
• If exact 0.640" (16.26mm) height is required, 462-640 is the only suitable option from the provided substitute list.
• RoHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating are maintained across both parts, satisfying regulatory and environmental requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CM00624625 be used as a direct replacement for 462-640?

A: CM00624625 is mechanically and electrically compatible for T1/T1 3/4 LED applications. The 0.015" (0.38mm) length difference must be evaluated against specific PCB clearance and LED positioning requirements. Both parts share identical material, color, RoHS compliance, and MSL ratings.

Q: What is the significance of the Obsolete status for CM00624625?

A: Obsolete status indicates the part is no longer in active production. While current inventory exists (973 pcs), future availability cannot be guaranteed. For new designs or long-term production, 462-640 (Active status) is the recommended primary selection.

Q: Are there dimensional tolerances that affect substitution?

A: The 0.015" (0.38mm) length variance between 462-640 and CM00624625 is the primary dimensional difference. Substitution feasibility depends on whether the application design permits this height reduction without compromising LED positioning or PCB clearance.

Q: Do both parts meet the same regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. Both 462-640 and CM00624625 are RoHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) ratings, satisfying equivalent regulatory and environmental standards.

Q: What packaging format is used for these parts?

A: Both parts are supplied in Bag packaging format, suitable for standard component handling and storage procedures.
