3YC-F

LED Indication - Discrete Overview

The 3YC-F is a standard yellow LED indicator manufactured by Bivar Inc. It features a T-1 (3mm) round lens with a domed top and water clear transparency. The component operates at a forward current of 20mA and emits light at a wavelength of 585 nm. It provides a millicandela rating of 40mcd and has a maximum height of 5.30mm. Designed for through-hole mounting in a radial package, it utilizes GaAsP/Gap semiconductor materials.

LED Indication - Discrete Feature Summary

• Standard yellow discrete LED configuration
• Water clear round domed top lens design
• Through-hole radial mounting capability

LED Indication - Discrete Applications

• Panel mount status indication
• Control board visual signaling
• Appliance front panel indicators

LED Indication - Discrete Procurement Notes

Verify the obsolete product status before procurement planning. Confirm that the specific 3mm T-1 radial package dimensions align with existing PCB footprints. Ensure compatibility with standard through-hole assembly processes and soldering temperatures specified in the official datasheet to maintain component integrity during installation.

LED Indication - Discrete Selection Notes

Select this component when a standard yellow visual indicator with a clear lens is required for through-hole applications. Consider the 40mcd brightness output and 585nm wavelength for visibility requirements. Verify that the 20mA current rating fits within the system's power budget and drive circuit capabilities without requiring additional current limiting components beyond standard design practices.

LED Indication - Discrete Part Context

This part belongs to Bivar Inc.'s discrete LED indicator series, specifically designed for general-purpose visual signaling. The 3YC-F variant represents the standard yellow color option within the 3mm T-1 form factor family. It is distinct from diffused or tinted lens variants such as the 3YD-F or 3YT-F models which offer different optical dispersion characteristics.

LED Indication - Discrete Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. Due to the obsolete status of the 3YC-F, alternative sourcing may require evaluating similar 3mm yellow through-hole LEDs from other manufacturers, ensuring matching electrical parameters and mechanical dimensions.
