Overview
The Bivar Inc. 5BC-3-CA-F is a 5mm T-1 ¾ bi-color LED designed for through-hole mounting. It features a white diffused lens with a 40-degree viewing angle, providing clear red and green illumination. The component operates at a forward current of 20 mA, with forward voltages of 2 V for the red section and 2.1 V for the green section. Emission wavelengths are 625 nm for red and 568 nm for green. The unit delivers an optical intensity of 4 mcd and utilizes straight leads for panel or PCB installation.
Feature Summary
- Bi-color configuration combining red and green LEDs within a single 5mm package
- White diffused lens design ensuring uniform light distribution
- Standard T-1 ¾ form factor compatible with through-hole assembly processes
Applications
- Electronic status indication panels
- Multi-state signaling in control equipment
- Instrumentation front panels requiring dual-color feedback
Procurement Notes
Verify the specific ordering suffix against manufacturer documentation to confirm lens tint and lead type variations. Ensure compatibility with existing panel cutout dimensions of 6.35 mm. Cross-reference datasheet electrical limits to prevent overdriving the 20 mA forward current specification during integration.
Selection Notes
Select this component when a compact 5mm footprint is required for dual-color signaling. The diffused lens offers wider visibility compared to clear variants. Confirm that the 40-degree viewing angle meets the line-of-sight requirements for the intended enclosure design before finalizing the part selection.
Part Context
This model belongs to Bivar’s standard multi-color LED series, utilizing the common T-1 ¾ (5mm) cylindrical package. It serves as a direct replacement for legacy bi-color indicators in industrial and consumer electronics where space constraints necessitate a single-component solution for distinct visual states.
Replacement Considerations
Direct substitutes include the PM5R3-BC for similar panel mount applications. Verify pinout orientation and voltage thresholds when swapping with generic bi-color LEDs to ensure proper circuit functionality without modification.
