3SBC-F

LED Indication - Discrete Overview

The Bivar Inc. 3SBC-F is a through-hole, bi-color LED indicator featuring super red and green chips within a single T-1 (3mm) radial package. It utilizes a white diffused lens to combine the two colors. Typical forward voltage is 2.2V for the green element and 1.7V for the red element. The component provides distinct visual indication in panel or PCB mount applications.

LED Indication - Discrete Feature Summary

• Bi-color configuration with super red and green LEDs
• White diffused lens for color mixing
• T-1 3mm radial through-hole package

LED Indication - Discrete Applications

• Panel mount status indicators
• PCB mounted signal lights
• Equipment front panels requiring dual-state indication

LED Indication - Discrete Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix requirements against the manufacturer datasheet to ensure correct binning and optical characteristics. Confirm that the radial lead spacing matches the target footprint. Check RoHS compliance status if required by project specifications.

LED Indication - Discrete Selection Notes

Select this part when a single location requires two distinct color states without using separate components. The white diffused lens allows for smooth color transition or combined output. Ensure the circuit design accounts for the lower forward voltage of the red segment compared to the green segment.

LED Indication - Discrete Part Context

This component belongs to Bivar's discrete LED indication series. It serves as a compact alternative to dual-LED assemblies. The T-1 form factor ensures compatibility with standard 3mm mounting holes and common through-hole manufacturing processes.

LED Indication - Discrete Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include the 3SBC-3-F variant which shares similar electrical parameters but may differ in mechanical lead formation or specific luminous intensity bins. Verify cross-reference data sheets before substitution.
