LED Holder Tri-Lead STD_650_BLK Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The STD_650_BLK is a tri-lead LED standoff holder manufactured by Visual Communications Company (VCC) as part of the P-C-LITE® series. This component measures 0.650" (16.51mm) in length and is designed for PCB mounting applications with tri-lead LED configurations. The part is classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives essential for ongoing production and maintenance requirements. Substitute parts must maintain compatibility with tri-lead LED configurations and preserve the 0.650" (16.51mm) dimensional specification to ensure proper fit and electrical performance in existing designs.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the STD_650_BLK are identified based on the following critical parameters:

Primary Matching Criteria:

• LED Configuration: Tri-Lead (mechanical and electrical interface requirement)
• Length: 0.650" (16.51mm) (dimensional compatibility with PCB mounting)
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant (regulatory alignment)
• ECCN Classification: EAR99 (trade compliance consistency)

Secondary Considerations:

• Material composition (affects durability and thermal properties)
• Color specification (aesthetic and identification purposes)
• Packaging format (inventory and handling requirements)
• Product status (availability and long-term support)

Parts meeting all primary criteria are classified as direct substitutes. The STD_650_BLK specifications identify two substitute candidates from the provided list based on tri-lead LED compatibility and matching 0.650" (16.51mm) length.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitute: Keystone Electronics 8925

The 8925 from Keystone Electronics is the optimal substitute for the STD_650_BLK. This part maintains exact dimensional compatibility (0.650" / 16.51mm length) and tri-lead LED configuration. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and share the same ECCN classification (EAR99). The 8925 holds active product status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain reliability. Material composition differs (PVC versus unspecified), but both are suitable for LED standoff applications. Inventory availability is substantial (3755 units), supporting production continuity.

Secondary Consideration: VCC CM00624625

The CM00624625 is a VCC product within the SpaceSetter™ series but presents a dimensional variance. The 0.625" (15.88mm) length differs from the required 0.650" (16.51mm) specification, creating a 0.025" (0.63mm) height reduction. This dimensional difference may affect PCB clearance and LED positioning in designs with tight mechanical tolerances. LED type compatibility is limited to T1 and T1 3/4 configurations rather than tri-lead. This part is classified as obsolete, matching the status of the main part. Use of this substitute requires design verification to confirm dimensional acceptability.

Compliance Summary:

All identified substitutes maintain ROHS3 compliance and EAR99 export classification, ensuring regulatory alignment with the original part specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Keystone Electronics 8925 be used as a direct replacement for STD_650_BLK?

A: Yes. The 8925 matches the critical parameters: tri-lead LED configuration, 0.650" (16.51mm) length, ROHS3 compliance, and EAR99 classification. The part is currently in active production status with adequate inventory availability.

Q: What is the significance of the 0.025" (0.63mm) length difference in the CM00624625?

A: The CM00624625 measures 0.625" (15.88mm) versus the required 0.650" (16.51mm). This reduction in standoff height may affect LED positioning relative to the PCB surface and component clearance in confined spaces. Design verification is necessary before substitution.

Q: Are there material differences between the main part and substitutes?

A: Yes. The 8925 uses PVC material, while the CM00624625 uses Nylon. The main part material is not specified in available documentation. Both materials are suitable for LED standoff applications and maintain ROHS3 compliance.

Q: Does the color difference between substitutes affect functionality?

A: No. Color is a non-functional parameter. The STD_650_BLK is black, the 8925 is black, and the CM00624625 is natural. Color selection is based on aesthetic and identification requirements, not electrical or mechanical performance.

Q: Why is product status important in selecting a substitute?

A: The 8925 holds active product status, indicating ongoing manufacturer support, continued production, and long-term supply availability. The CM00624625 is obsolete, similar to the main part, which may limit future availability. Active status provides greater supply chain security.

Q: What packaging formats are available for these substitutes?

A: The 8925 is supplied in bulk packaging, while the CM00624625 is supplied in bag packaging. Packaging selection affects inventory management and handling procedures but does not impact component functionality.

Q: Are all substitutes ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. The STD_650_BLK, 8925, and CM00624625 are all ROHS3 compliant, ensuring regulatory alignment for applications requiring RoHS certification.
