3YD-S

LED Indication - Discrete Overview

The Bivar Inc. 3YD-S is a single-color through-hole LED indicator with a 3mm radial package and diffused lens. It emits yellow light at a peak wavelength of 590 nm. The component features a forward voltage of 2V and delivers an optical intensity of 20 mcd. It offers a viewing angle of 40 degrees, suitable for standard panel mounting applications requiring clear visual indication.

LED Indication - Discrete Feature Summary

• Through-hole radial design for standard PCB mounting
• Diffused lens for wide-angle visibility
• Yellow emission optimized for status indication

LED Indication - Discrete Applications

• Panel-mounted equipment status indicators
• Consumer electronics power state signaling
• Industrial control board visual alerts

LED Indication - Discrete Procurement Notes

Verify current availability as distribution channels may vary. Confirm RoHS compliance status via official datasheets before integration. Ensure lead times align with production schedules, as manufacturing delays can impact supply continuity for discrete components.

LED Indication - Discrete Selection Notes

Select this component when a 3mm through-hole form factor is required. The 2V forward voltage suits low-voltage logic interfaces. The 20 mcd intensity provides adequate visibility for general purpose indicators without excessive brightness.

LED Indication - Discrete Part Context

This part belongs to Bivar’s standard discrete LED line, designed for reliable visual feedback in electronic assemblies. It complements other 3mm series components by offering consistent optical performance across the product family.

LED Indication - Discrete Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include equivalent 3mm yellow through-hole LEDs from other manufacturers. Verify pin compatibility, forward voltage, and luminous intensity to ensure functional equivalence in existing designs.
