1.8GDL

Overview

The Bivar Inc. 1.8GDL is a through-hole discrete LED with a 1.8mm radial package and green diffused lens. It emits light at a wavelength of 565nm and features a 50-degree viewing angle. The component operates at a forward voltage of 2.1V and is designed for low-current applications.

Feature Summary

• Green diffused lens design for standard indication
• Radial through-hole configuration for space-constrained layouts
• Low-current operation capability

Applications

• Low-current indicator circuits
• Space-constrained electronic assemblies
• Standard visual status indication

Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer part number 1.8GDL against official Bivar documentation to confirm specifications. Ensure compliance with RoHS standards and lead-free requirements as indicated in distributor records. Confirm that the radial package and 1.8mm dimensions match the design constraints before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring a small form factor with a 1.8mm radial footprint. The green diffused lens provides a standard visual indication suitable for low-current environments. Verify that the 2.1V forward voltage aligns with the circuit drive capabilities.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Bivar 1.8mm Discrete LED series, which offers various color options including red and yellow variants. The 1.8GDL specifically represents the green diffused option within this family, maintaining consistent physical dimensions while differing in optical characteristics.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other Bivar 1.8mm series LEDs such as 1.8RCL or 1.8YD if different colors are required. Ensure any substitute maintains the same radial package and through-hole mounting style.
