3HC-201

LED Indication - Discrete Overview

The Bivar Inc. 3HC-201 is a single-color red LED designed for through-hole mounting in the T-1 (3 mm) package. It features a water-clear lens and emits light at a wavelength of 635 nm. The component provides a typical luminous intensity of 50 mcd. This discrete indicator is classified under optoelectronics and is currently listed as obsolete by the manufacturer.

LED Indication - Discrete Feature Summary

• Through-hole radial lead configuration
• Red emission with clear lens transparency
• Standard T-1 cylindrical form factor

LED Indication - Discrete Applications

• Panel status indication
• Power supply signaling
• Control equipment indicators

LED Indication - Discrete Procurement Notes

Verify current availability as the 3HC-201 is officially marked as obsolete. Confirm that substitute components meet required electrical and mechanical specifications before integration into new designs.

LED Indication - Discrete Selection Notes

Select this component only for legacy system maintenance or repair where original part matching is critical. Evaluate alternative red LEDs with compatible pin spacing and forward voltage requirements if redesigning the circuit.

LED Indication - Discrete Part Context

This part belongs to Bivar's discrete LED indicator series, specifically utilizing the standard T-1 3mm housing. It serves as a visual signal source in electronic assemblies requiring simple on/off state representation.

LED Indication - Discrete Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitutes include the 3HC-S and 3HC-201-S variants from Bivar. Verify dimensional compatibility and optical characteristics when transitioning between these specific model numbers.
