125-BCG

Overview

The 125-BCG is a single-color, radial mount LED indicator manufactured by Visual Communications Company. It features a green light emission with a peak wavelength of 565 nm and a nominal luminous intensity of 60 mcd. The component operates at a maximum forward current of 20 mA and has a total height of 22 mm. It utilizes a water clear tinted lens in a cylindrical shape with a 5.2 mm diameter. The device supports an operating temperature range from -55 °C to 100 °C and complies with RoHS standards.

Feature Summary

• Radial through-hole mounting configuration for standard circuit board integration
• Green light emission with diffused encapsulation for uniform visual indication
• Water clear tinted cylindrical lens design

Applications

• Panel status indicators
• Power supply activity signals
• Equipment operational feedback

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version when sourcing, as manufacturing specifications may evolve. Confirm that the component matches the required panel thickness constraints if used in direct mount applications. Ensure the supplier provides documentation confirming RoHS compliance and the correct lead angle configuration for the intended PCB footprint.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring a standard green visual indicator with radial leads. Consider the 22 mm total height when determining available vertical clearance within the enclosure. Verify that the 20 mA forward current rating aligns with the driving circuit's output capabilities to ensure stable operation without exceeding thermal limits.

Part Context

This part belongs to the VCC discrete LED family, designed for general-purpose indication. It serves as a fundamental optical component for signaling states in electronic assemblies. The product line emphasizes reliability and standardized dimensions for easy integration into various industrial and consumer electronics designs.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 5mm radial green LEDs with similar electrical characteristics. Verify pin spacing and forward voltage compatibility before swapping. Alternative models from the same manufacturer may offer different lens colors or intensities while maintaining the same mechanical form factor.
