3GDL-F

LED Indication - Discrete Overview

The Bivar Inc. 3GDL-F is a through-hole discrete LED featuring a 3mm (T-1) package with a flanged lens design. It emits green light at a wavelength of 565 nm to 568 nm. The component has a typical forward voltage of 2.1V and a millicandela rating of 4mcd. It utilizes a diffused lens with a 35-degree view angle and a domed top, suitable for low-current indication applications.

LED Indication - Discrete Feature Summary

• Flanged T-1 package design for secure mounting
• Diffused lens providing a 35-degree viewing angle
• Green emission optimized for visual indication

LED Indication - Discrete Applications

• Low-current electronic device status indication
• Panel-mounted equipment signaling
• Consumer electronics front panels

LED Indication - Discrete Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version for exact electrical tolerances and thermal characteristics. Confirm RoHS3 compliance status as required by project specifications. Ensure the supplier provides official Bivar documentation to validate the 3mm package dimensions and lead configuration before integration into manufacturing processes.

LED Indication - Discrete Selection Notes

Select this component when a flanged 3mm through-hole LED is required for panel mounting stability. The diffused lens and 35-degree beam angle are suitable for direct line-of-sight visibility. Consider the 2.1V forward voltage drop for circuit design compatibility in low-voltage indicator circuits.

LED Indication - Discrete Part Context

This part belongs to Bivar's standard discrete LED lineup, specifically designed for general-purpose indication. The T-1 form factor is a legacy size often used in older or specialized industrial equipment where panel thickness requires the structural support provided by the flange.

LED Indication - Discrete Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 3mm T-1 flanged package, green wavelength range, and through-hole mounting style. Verify that alternative components maintain similar forward voltage and luminous intensity to ensure consistent visual performance in existing designs.
