ERM 1-460 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ERM 1-460 is a 2 and 3 Lead LED Standoff manufactured by Bivar Inc., designed for vertical mounting applications with a 0.460" (11.68mm) length. This component is constructed from black PVC material and is compatible with universal LED configurations. The part maintains Active product status and is ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating.

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent functional performance can be achieved through alternative models within the same product series that maintain compatibility with the specified electrical and mechanical parameters.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The ERM 1-460 has one identified substitute part: ERM 1-450. Substitution eligibility is determined by the following parameters that remain constant across both parts:

• Manufacturer: Bivar Inc.
• Series: ERM 1
• Base Product Number: ERM1-4
• LED Configuration: 2 and 3 Lead LEDs
• Material: Black PVC
• Mounting Style: Vertical
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)
• Product Status: Active

The primary difference between these parts is the physical length dimension, which varies to accommodate different application requirements while maintaining all other electrical and mechanical specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the ERM 1-460 and ERM 1-450 maintain Active product status with full ROHS3 compliance and identical MSL 1 (Unlimited) ratings. Selection between these parts is determined by the specific length requirement of the application. The ERM 1-460 provides a 0.460" (11.68mm) standoff height, while the ERM 1-450 provides a 0.450" (11.43mm) standoff height, representing a 0.010" (0.25mm) dimensional difference.

Both parts are manufactured by Bivar Inc. within the ERM 1 series and share identical electrical and mechanical specifications for LED lead configurations, material composition, and regulatory compliance. Component selection should be based on the precise vertical mounting distance required by the circuit board layout and enclosure design.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ERM 1-450 be used as a direct replacement for ERM 1-460?

A: The ERM 1-450 and ERM 1-460 are functionally equivalent with respect to LED configuration, material, and compliance specifications. The primary difference is the physical length: 0.450" versus 0.460". Substitution is valid only when the application can accommodate the 0.010" (0.25mm) shorter standoff height.

Q: Are there any electrical differences between ERM 1-460 and ERM 1-450?

A: No. Both parts support 2 and 3 Lead LED configurations and maintain identical electrical specifications. The difference is purely dimensional.

Q: Do both parts have the same RoHS and moisture sensitivity compliance?

A: Yes. Both ERM 1-460 and ERM 1-450 are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity ratings.

Q: What is the significance of the 0.010" length difference?

A: The length difference affects the vertical standoff distance from the circuit board. Applications with space constraints or specific mounting height requirements must account for this 0.010" (0.25mm) dimensional variation when selecting between these parts.

Q: Are both parts currently available?

A: Both parts maintain Active product status. Inventory availability should be confirmed through current stock levels at the time of procurement.

Q: Can these parts be used with both 2-lead and 3-lead LEDs?

A: Yes. Both ERM 1-460 and ERM 1-450 are designed to accommodate 2 and 3 Lead LED configurations universally.
