Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the CM00624625 is determined by the following parameters:

Primary Compatibility Criteria:

• LED Type: T1, T1 3/4 (must match)
• Material: Nylon (must match)
• Color: Natural (must match)
• Packaging: Bag (must match)
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant (must match)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) (must match)

Secondary Consideration:

• Length: Tolerance range of ±0.025" (0.635mm) from nominal 0.625" (15.88mm)

All three substitute parts (462-600, 462-620, 462-640) manufactured by Bivar Inc. meet the primary compatibility criteria. These parts are active products with confirmed inventory availability, providing direct functional replacement for the obsolete CM00624625.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitute: 462-620 (Bivar Inc.)

The 462-620 provides the closest dimensional match to the CM00624625, with a length variance of only 0.005" (0.13mm). This part maintains all required compliance certifications (ROHS3, MSL 1) and is actively manufactured with robust inventory levels (1050 units in stock).

Secondary Substitutes: 462-600 and 462-640 (Bivar Inc.)

Both alternatives meet all electrical and material specifications. The 462-600 offers a shorter profile (0.025" reduction), while the 462-640 provides extended height (0.015" increase). Selection between these options depends on specific PCB layout and LED mounting height requirements within the application.

All three Bivar substitutes are active products with confirmed ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating, ensuring long-term supply continuity and regulatory compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 462-600, 462-620, and 462-640 be used interchangeably with CM00624625?

A: These parts are functionally equivalent for T1 and T1 3/4 LED mounting applications. The primary difference is standoff length. Selection depends on the required vertical spacing in your specific PCB design. All parts share identical material (nylon), color (natural), LED compatibility, and compliance certifications.

Q: What is the significance of the length differences between substitute parts?

A: The CM00624625 specifies 0.625" (15.88mm) length. The substitutes vary: 462-600 at 0.600" (15.24mm), 462-620 at 0.620" (15.75mm), and 462-640 at 0.640" (16.26mm). These variations affect the vertical distance between the PCB and the LED component. Choose based on your design's spacing requirements.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. The CM00624625 and all three Bivar substitutes (462-600, 462-620, 462-640) are ROHS3 compliant with MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), meeting current regulatory requirements.

Q: Why is CM00624625 listed as obsolete?

A: The CM00624625 is no longer in active production by VCC. However, 973 units remain in current inventory. The active Bivar alternatives ensure design continuity and future supply availability.

Q: Does packaging differ between the main part and substitutes?

A: No. All parts are supplied in bag packaging, maintaining consistency in handling and storage requirements.
