3UYC

LED Indication - Discrete Overview

The Bivar Inc. 3UYC is a through-hole mounted discrete yellow LED indicator featuring a clear, domed lens. It operates with a typical forward voltage of 2V and a test current of 20mA. The component produces a brightness rating of 300mcd. Designed for standard PCB mounting, it utilizes a T-1 (3mm) package configuration suitable for direct insertion into circuit boards.

LED Indication - Discrete Feature Summary

• Through-hole mounting technology for secure PCB integration
• Clear domed lens design for optimized light distribution
• Yellow emission color for status indication applications

LED Indication - Discrete Applications

• General electronic equipment status indicators
• Industrial control panel signaling
• Consumer electronics power state display

LED Indication - Discrete Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet revision and mechanical dimensions against the target PCB footprint before procurement. Confirm that the through-hole lead spacing matches the board layout requirements. Ensure the operating temperature range aligns with the intended environmental conditions. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number to avoid confusion with similar surface-mount or different wavelength variants within the same product family.

LED Indication - Discrete Selection Notes

Select this component when a through-hole yellow LED with a domed lens is required for visual status indication. Consider the 300mcd brightness output relative to ambient lighting conditions. Evaluate the 2V forward voltage drop in relation to the driving circuit's supply voltage. Compare physical dimensions against available board space constraints. Assess compatibility with automated insertion processes if high-volume production is planned.
