LED Holder H-2RV-4 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The H-2RV-4 is a rectangular LED holder manufactured by Bivar Inc., designed for all rectangular LEDs with a 2x4mm configuration. This component is a black nylon LED standoff with a length of 0.280" (7.11mm), providing mechanical support and alignment for LED assembly applications.

The H-2RV-4 is classified as obsolete. Identifying equivalent and substitute parts is necessary to maintain design continuity, ensure supply chain availability, and support ongoing production or repair requirements for systems utilizing this component.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the H-2RV-4 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Primary Compatibility Criteria:

• Manufacturer series alignment (H-2RV series)
• LED configuration compatibility (all rectangular LEDs)
• Physical standoff length (0.280" / 7.11mm)
• Material composition (black nylon)
• Color specification (black)
• Moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1)

The H-2RV-5 qualifies as a substitute part within the H-2RV series. Both components share identical specifications for length, material, color, and MSL rating. The primary distinction between these parts is the LED cavity dimension: the H-2RV-4 accommodates 2x4mm rectangular LEDs, while the H-2RV-5 accommodates 2x5mm rectangular LEDs. Substitution is valid only when the target application requires a 2x5mm LED cavity instead of 2x4mm.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For H-2RV-4 Replacement:

The H-2RV-5 is the designated substitute within the H-2RV series. Selection of the H-2RV-5 is appropriate when:

1. The application design permits accommodation of a 2x5mm rectangular LED cavity instead of the original 2x4mm specification
2. Supply chain requirements necessitate transition from the obsolete H-2RV-4 to an active product
3. The mechanical and electrical interface of the target assembly supports the H-2RV-5 cavity dimension

Compliance Considerations:

The H-2RV-5 carries ROHS3 compliance certification, whereas the H-2RV-4 compliance status is not specified. Both parts share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS classifications, indicating equivalent regulatory treatment for export and tariff purposes.

Inventory Status:

The H-2RV-4 is obsolete with 730 units currently in stock. The H-2RV-5 is active with 949 units available, providing superior long-term supply assurance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the H-2RV-5 directly replace the H-2RV-4 in my existing design?

A: Direct replacement is possible only if your application design accommodates a 2x5mm rectangular LED cavity. The H-2RV-5 is physically identical to the H-2RV-4 in all dimensions except the LED cavity width. If your PCB or assembly fixture is designed for 2x4mm LEDs, the H-2RV-5 will not fit without design modification.

Q: What is the primary difference between H-2RV-4 and H-2RV-5?

A: The sole functional difference is the LED cavity dimension. The H-2RV-4 is designed for 2x4mm rectangular LEDs, while the H-2RV-5 accommodates 2x5mm rectangular LEDs. All other specifications—length, material, color, MSL rating, and mechanical standoff function—are identical.

Q: Why is the H-2RV-4 obsolete?

A: The H-2RV-4 is classified as obsolete by the manufacturer. The H-2RV-5 represents the active product line continuation within the H-2RV series. For new designs or ongoing production, the H-2RV-5 is the recommended component.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between these parts?

A: The H-2RV-5 is certified ROHS3 compliant. The H-2RV-4 compliance status is not specified in available documentation. Both parts share identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications. If ROHS3 compliance is a requirement for your application, the H-2RV-5 is the appropriate selection.

Q: What packaging is available for the H-2RV-5?

A: The H-2RV-5 is supplied in bag packaging. The H-2RV-4 packaging specification is not documented.

Q: Are both parts suitable for unlimited moisture exposure?

A: Both the H-2RV-4 and H-2RV-5 carry an MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage or handling.
