LED Circuit Board Indicator H100CBC Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The H100CBC is an LED Circuit Board Indicator manufactured by Bivar Inc., classified as a single-color switchable green/red diffused LED with right-angle through-hole mounting. This component is designed for circuit board applications requiring dual-color indication capability in a compact 3mm T-1 form factor. The part is currently in active production status with 1,089 pieces available in inventory.

Substitute parts become necessary when the primary part number experiences supply constraints, extended lead times, or when design flexibility permits selection from equivalent alternatives within the same electrical and mechanical parameter set.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The H101CBC qualifies as a direct substitute for the H100CBC based on identical electrical and mechanical parameters. Substitution eligibility is determined by the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility:

• Forward voltage: 2.2V Green, 2V Red (identical)
• Operating current: 30mA (identical)
• Luminous intensity: 30mcd Green, 30mcd Red (identical)
• Wavelength characteristics: 568nm Green, 635nm Red (identical)

Mechanical Compatibility:

• Lens size and style: 3mm T-1 round with domed top (identical)
• Mounting configuration: Through hole, right angle (identical)
• Viewing angle: 45° (identical)
• Lens material: Diffused white (identical)

Regulatory Compliance:

• RoHS3 compliance status (identical)
• Moisture sensitivity level 1 (identical)
• ECCN and HTSUS classifications (identical)

Both parts belong to the same manufacturer (Bivar Inc.) and share the same base product series characteristics, confirming functional and form-factor equivalence.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Part Selection (H100CBC): Select the H100CBC when this specific part number is required by design documentation, bill of materials, or when inventory allocation is available from existing stock of 1,089 pieces.

Substitute Part Selection (H101CBC): The H101CBC is a direct functional equivalent suitable for selection when:

• H100CBC experiences supply unavailability or extended lead times
• Design specifications permit interchangeability based on identical electrical and mechanical parameters
• Higher inventory availability (4,637 pieces) supports project timelines

Both parts maintain identical compliance certifications (ROHS3, MSL Level 1) and are manufactured by the same supplier, ensuring consistent quality and regulatory adherence. The H101CBC represents the same product family with equivalent performance characteristics across all specified parameters.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can H101CBC be used as a direct replacement for H100CBC in existing designs?

A: Yes. The H101CBC is electrically and mechanically identical to the H100CBC across all specified parameters, including forward voltage (2.2V Green, 2V Red), operating current (30mA), luminous intensity (30mcd), wavelength characteristics (568nm Green, 635nm Red), lens configuration (3mm T-1 diffused white round domed), mounting type (through hole right angle), and viewing angle (45°). No circuit modifications are required.

Q: Are there any differences in compliance or regulatory status between these parts?

A: No. Both H100CBC and H101CBC carry identical RoHS3 compliance status and Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited). Both are classified under the same ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (3926.90.9985) codes.

Q: What is the primary difference between H100CBC and H101CBC?

A: The parts differ only in base product series designation (H100 versus H101) and current inventory levels. H100CBC has 1,089 pieces in stock, while H101CBC has 4,637 pieces available. All electrical, mechanical, and regulatory specifications are identical.

Q: Can these parts be mixed in the same production batch or assembly?

A: Yes. Since the parts are functionally equivalent with identical specifications, they can be used interchangeably within the same assembly or production batch without affecting circuit performance or reliability.

Q: What packaging format is used for both parts?

A: Both H100CBC and H101CBC are supplied in Tray packaging, maintaining consistent handling and storage requirements.
