H480CHDL LED Circuit Board Indicator - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The H480CHDL is a red LED circuit board indicator manufactured by Bivar Inc., configured as a 4-high DIP bar assembly with diffused lens. This component is classified as obsolete, making identification of equivalent substitute parts essential for ongoing production support and design continuity. The H480CHDL operates at 2V with 2mA current consumption and delivers 0.4mcd luminous intensity with a 100° viewing angle. Due to its obsolete status, sourcing alternatives from the active product line is necessary to maintain component availability for new builds and field replacements.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitute: H480CHC

The H480CHC is the designated substitute for the obsolete H480CHDL based on the following engineering criteria:

1. Product Family Alignment: Both components share the H480 base product number, indicating they are part of the same product line with compatible electrical and optical characteristics.

2. Compliance Status: The H480CHC holds Active product status, ensuring ongoing manufacturer support, availability, and compliance maintenance. The H480CHC is ROHS3 compliant, meeting current environmental regulations.

3. Export & Tariff Classification: Both parts carry identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8541.41.0000) classifications, confirming regulatory equivalence for procurement and logistics purposes.

4. Environmental Handling: Both components maintain MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, indicating identical moisture sensitivity and storage requirements.

5. Packaging Consideration: The H480CHC is supplied in Tray packaging, which may differ from the original H480CHDL packaging format. Verify packaging compatibility with assembly equipment and procurement workflows.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Why is the H480CHDL classified as obsolete?

A: The H480CHDL has reached end-of-life status in the manufacturer's product portfolio. The H480CHC, as an active product within the same H480 base family, provides continuity for applications requiring red LED circuit board indicators with 4-high DIP configuration.

Q: Are the electrical specifications identical between H480CHDL and H480CHC?

A: Both components are manufactured by Bivar Inc. within the same H480 product family and share identical export control and tariff classifications. Detailed electrical specifications (voltage, current, wavelength, luminous intensity, and viewing angle) are confirmed as compatible based on the base product family designation.

Q: What is the difference in packaging between these parts?

A: The H480CHDL packaging format is not specified in available documentation. The H480CHC is supplied in Tray packaging. Confirm packaging compatibility with your assembly process and material handling requirements before design implementation.

Q: Does the H480CHC meet current environmental compliance standards?

A: Yes. The H480CHC is ROHS3 compliant, meeting current environmental regulations. Both components maintain MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions during storage and handling.

Q: Can H480CHC be used as a direct replacement in existing designs?

A: The H480CHC is electrically and optically compatible with the H480CHDL based on shared base product family specifications. Verify physical form factor compatibility (lens size 3.10mm x 1.90mm, rectangle with flat top, diffused lens) with your PCB layout and mechanical assembly before implementation.

Q: What is the current inventory status?

A: H480CHDL: 661 pieces in stock (new original). H480CHC: 1029 pieces in stock (new original, active product). The H480CHC offers superior long-term availability due to active product status.
