Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The H278CSGT belongs to the Bivar H278 series of LED Circuit Board Indicators. Substitution within this product family is determined by the following critical parameters:

Substitution Criteria:

• Manufacturer: Bivar Inc. (same manufacturer ensures design compatibility)
• Product Category: LED Circuit Board Indicator (same functional classification)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: MSL 1 (Unlimited) (identical environmental tolerance)
• ECCN Classification: EAR99 (same export control designation)
• HTSUS Code: 8541.41.0000 (same tariff classification)
• Series: H278 (same product series)

The H278CGD is identified as a direct substitute for the H278CSGT. Both components share the same manufacturer, product category, environmental ratings, and regulatory classifications. The H278CGD is currently in active production status, making it the appropriate replacement for the obsolete H278CSGT.
