3BC-3-Y/G-F

LED Indication - Discrete Overview

The Bivar Inc. 3BC-3-Y/G-F is a through-hole bi-color LED featuring a standard 3mm (T1) package with a white diffused lens. It emits yellow and green light, with specified wavelengths of 590nm for yellow and unspecified for green in available snippets. The component offers a 40-degree view angle and operates at a forward voltage of 2VDC. Luminous intensity is rated at 30mcd for the green segment and 20mcd for the yellow segment. It utilizes a radial three-lead configuration suitable for panel mounting applications.
