H-455C LED Holder - Equivalent & Substitute Parts Reference

Part Overview

The H-455C is an active T1 LED standoff holder manufactured by Bivar Inc., designed for vertical mounting applications with two-lead LED components. This T1 LED standoff is constructed from black nylon material with a 0.660" (16.76mm) length specification. The part is ROHS3 compliant and carries a Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) rating of 1 (Unlimited). Equivalent substitute parts are available from the same manufacturer to accommodate design variations and availability requirements while maintaining functional compatibility within specified parametric ranges.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Two equivalent substitute parts are available for the H-455C: ELM 2-665 and ELM 2-17MM. Both substitutes maintain the following critical parametric compatibility criteria:

Common Substitution Parameters:

• LED Type: T1 (matching lead configuration)
• Color: Black
• Manufacturer: Bivar Inc. (same manufacturer ensures design compatibility)
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)
• Packaging: Bag
• Product Status: Active

Length Variation Range: Substitute parts have minimal length deviation from the primary part specification. The H-455C (0.660" / 16.76mm) can be substituted with parts ranging from 0.665" (16.89mm) to 0.670" (17.02mm), representing length tolerances within 0.010" of the primary specification.

Material Variation: While the H-455C is constructed from nylon, substitute parts utilize PVC material. Both materials are black polymer compounds suitable for LED standoff applications and satisfy the same RoHS3 compliance requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts share identical active product status and ROHS3 compliance certification, confirming ongoing manufacturing and regulatory approval. The H-455C, ELM 2-665, and ELM 2-17MM are each manufactured by Bivar Inc. and carry matching Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited) ratings, confirming equivalent reliability under environmental conditions.

Primary Part (H-455C): Nylon construction with 0.660" length specification provides the original design baseline.

Substitute Parts: Both ELM 2-665 and ELM 2-17MM utilize PVC construction with length specifications within 0.010" tolerance of the primary part. Selection between substitutes depends on mechanical accommodation requirements for the marginal length variation within your specific circuit board layout.

All parts are available in production quantities, with combined inventory exceeding 3,800 units across the part family.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What is the primary difference between H-455C and the substitute parts? A: The H-455C uses nylon construction while ELM 2-665 and ELM 2-17MM utilize PVC material. All three parts are black polymers maintaining identical LED type (T1), color, RoHS compliance, and MSL ratings.

Q: Can I interchange these parts within the same design? A: All three parts share the same T1 LED type, black color, and RoHS3 compliance. Length variation ranges from 0.660" to 0.670" (16.76mm to 17.02mm). Interchangeability depends on mechanical tolerance accommodation in your specific application.

Q: What is the length tolerance difference I should consider? A: The H-455C measures 0.660" (16.76mm). ELM 2-665 measures 0.665" (16.89mm), and ELM 2-17MM measures 0.670" (17.02mm). The maximum deviation from the primary part is 0.010" (0.26mm).

Q: Are all parts RoHS3 compliant? A: Yes. H-455C, ELM 2-665, and ELM 2-17MM all carry ROHS3 Compliant certification.

Q: What is the Moisture Sensitivity Level rating for all parts? A: All three parts carry a Moisture Sensitivity Level of 1 (Unlimited), indicating no special moisture handling requirements.

Q: Are these parts still in active production? A: Yes. All three parts maintain Active product status, confirming current manufacturing availability.

Q: Does packaging differ between parts? A: No. All three parts are supplied in Bag packaging.
