3GT-201-S

LED Indication - Discrete Overview

The Bivar Inc. 3GT-201-S is a single-color green LED indicator designed for through-hole mounting. It features a 3mm T-1 package with a water-clear lens and diffused characteristics. The component operates at a forward voltage of 2.1V, with a maximum reverse voltage of 5V. It emits super green light with a peak wavelength of 568nm. The device provides a luminous intensity of 20 mcd and has a viewing angle of 20 degrees. It is constructed with radial leads suitable for standard panel mount applications.

LED Indication - Discrete Feature Summary

• Radial leaded construction for through-hole PCB or panel mounting
• Water-clear lens design providing diffused light emission
• Super green color output optimized for visibility
• Low forward voltage operation for efficient power usage

LED Indication - Discrete Applications

• Panel mount status indicators
• Low-voltage electronic equipment signaling
• Discrete LED indication in control panels

LED Indication - Discrete Procurement Notes

Verify the exact datasheet version from Bivar Inc. to confirm electrical tolerances and mechanical dimensions. Ensure the ordering suffix matches the required lens type and lead configuration. Cross-reference part numbers with official distributor catalogs to avoid substitution errors. Confirm compliance with relevant environmental standards before procurement.

LED Indication - Discrete Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile, green visual indicator is required for through-hole assembly. Consider the 2.1V forward voltage drop for circuit design compatibility. Evaluate the 20-degree viewing angle against visibility requirements. Compare against other 3mm T-1 LEDs if specific color or intensity variations are needed.

LED Indication - Discrete Part Context

This part belongs to Bivar's 3XXX-S series of STD panel mount indicators. The series offers various colors and lens configurations for discrete LED applications. The 3GT-201-S specifically addresses needs for green indication with clear lens diffusion. It complements other variants like the 3GD-201-S which uses a diffused lens.

LED Indication - Discrete Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other 3mm T-1 green LEDs with similar 2.1V forward voltage. Verify pinout compatibility and mechanical footprint before replacement. Check if alternative manufacturers offer equivalent luminous intensity and viewing angles.
