5AD

Overview

The Bivar Inc. 5AD is a single-color amber LED circuit board indicator designed for through-hole mounting. It features a 5mm (T-1 3/4) diffused lens with a dome style, providing a 40-degree viewing angle. The component emits light at a peak wavelength of 605nm with an intensity of 25mcd. Electrical characteristics include a forward voltage of 2V and a rated current of 30mA.

Feature Summary

• Single-channel amber LED configuration
• Through-hole mounting capability
• Diffused dome lens design

Applications

• LED Circuit Board Indicators

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix or variant against official manufacturer documentation to ensure correct electrical parameters and physical dimensions. Confirm availability status as distribution channels may list obsolete or discontinued stock. Cross-reference datasheet revisions to validate performance specifications prior to integration into final designs.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring a standard 5mm through-hole amber indicator with diffused output. Ensure the driving circuit supports the specified 30mA current and 2V forward voltage. Consider the 40-degree viewing angle and 25mcd intensity for visibility requirements in the intended enclosure environment.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Bivar ELM series of LED circuit board indicators. It is distinct from panel mount variants like the MPR5AD and other color options within the same package size family. The 5AD designation specifically identifies the amber, single-die configuration in the T-1 3/4 form factor.
