3HC-201-S

LED Indication - Discrete Overview

The Bivar Inc. 3HC-201-S is a single-color red LED indicator designed for through-hole mounting in the T-1 (3mm) radial package. It features a water-clear lens and emits light at a wavelength of 635 nm with an intensity of 50 mcd. The component operates with a typical forward voltage of 2V at a test current of 20mA, offering a viewing angle of 20 degrees. This standard configuration part is currently listed as obsolete.

LED Indication - Discrete Feature Summary

• Through-hole radial leaded construction for standard PCB mounting
• Water-clear lens transparency for focused light emission
• Standard red color output optimized for visual indication

LED Indication - Discrete Applications

• Panel status indicators
• Power supply state signaling
• Equipment operational alerts

LED Indication - Discrete Procurement Notes

Verify component availability carefully as this specific part number is classified as obsolete by the manufacturer. Sourcing may require checking secondary distributors or confirming end-of-life status before integration into new designs. Ensure all electrical parameters match system requirements during the verification process.

LED Indication - Discrete Selection Notes

Select this component only if through-hole mounting and a 3mm form factor are strictly required. Consider the 20-degree viewing angle and 50 mcd intensity for visibility needs. Evaluate alternative active parts if long-term supply stability is critical for the product lifecycle.

LED Indication - Discrete Part Context

This discrete LED belongs to the Bivar Inc. Optoelectronics portfolio, specifically within the LED Indication category. It serves as a fundamental visual signaling element in electronic assemblies, providing clear status feedback through its distinct red emission characteristics and robust radial lead design.

LED Indication - Discrete Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation due to the obsolete status of the 3HC-201-S. Engineers should consult official replacement guides or contact the manufacturer directly for valid cross-reference data.
