3RD

LED Indication - Discrete Overview

The Bivar Inc. ELM17003RD is a single-channel red LED circuit board indicator from the ELM1 series, designed for status indication applications requiring distance between the light-emitting diode and the display area. It features a T-1 (3mm) lens with a domed shape and a scattering lens type to diffuse light output. The component operates at a forward voltage of 2.1V with a current rating of 20mA, emitting light at a peak wavelength of 700nm. It provides an intensity of 2mcd with a viewing angle of 20 degrees. The device is RoHS compliant and classified under ECCN EAR99.

LED Indication - Discrete Feature Summary

• Features a scattering lens type with a circular, domed T-1 (3mm) lens style for effective light diffusion.
• Designed for status indication applications where physical separation is required between the LED source and the display area.
• Constructed as a single-channel unit suitable for direct mounting on printed circuit boards.

LED Indication - Discrete Applications

• Status indication in electronic equipment
• Circuit board indicators requiring visual separation
• CompactPCI faceplate assemblies

LED Indication - Discrete Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix 'RD' corresponds to the red color variant and standard packaging configuration when placing orders. Confirm that the manufacturer's standard lead time aligns with project schedules, as availability may vary. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprints and thermal management requirements before finalizing procurement decisions.

LED Indication - Discrete Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile, diffused red indicator is needed for panel or board mounting. Consider the 20-degree viewing angle and scattering lens properties for visibility requirements. Verify that the 2.1V forward voltage drop fits within the system's power supply constraints and current limiting resistor calculations.

LED Indication - Discrete Part Context

This part belongs to the ELM1 series of flexible light pipes and LED indicators by Bivar Inc., often used in CompactPCI applications. It complements other Bivar components like spacers and faceplates, providing integrated optical solutions for industrial and computing hardware designs requiring reliable visual feedback.

LED Indication - Discrete Replacement Considerations

Check for cross-reference parts within the same T-1 form factor and red wavelength range. Ensure any substitute matches the 2.1V forward voltage and 20mA current specifications. Verify that the replacement maintains the scattering lens characteristics and mechanical dimensions for proper fitment.
