5BC-Y/G-F

LED Indication - Discrete Overview

The Bivar 5BC-Y/G-F is a through-hole bi-color LED housed in a T-1 3/4 (5 mm) package. It features a clear lens and emits yellow and green light. The component utilizes a radial lead configuration for standard PCB mounting. This specific part number denotes the variant with a clear lens finish, distinguishing it from diffused or colored lens options within the same product family.

LED Indication - Discrete Feature Summary

• Bi-color functionality providing distinct yellow and green illumination within a single 5mm package
• Clear lens design intended for focused light emission and high visibility
• Through-hole mounting style compatible with standard radial lead PCB layouts

LED Indication - Discrete Applications

• Status indication on electronic control panels
• Power state signaling in consumer devices
• Visual alerts in industrial instrumentation

LED Indication - Discrete Procurement Notes

Verify the ordering suffix to confirm the lens type. The 'F' suffix indicates a clear lens. Ensure the required color combination matches the specific yellow and green output documented for this part number. Cross-reference the datasheet to confirm lead spacing and forward voltage requirements before integration.

LED Indication - Discrete Selection Notes

Select this component when a clear lens is required for maximum intensity compared to diffused alternatives like the 5BC-3 series. Confirm that the two-color requirement fits the yellow/green spectrum. Ensure the application supports through-hole assembly processes and the physical dimensions of the T-1 3/4 package.

LED Indication - Discrete Part Context

This part belongs to Bivar's standard bi-color LED line. It shares the 5mm form factor with other variants but differs in lens treatment. The clear lens variant offers different visual characteristics compared to diffused or amber-tinted versions found in the broader 5BC product family.

LED Indication - Discrete Replacement Considerations

The 5BC-3-Y/G-F serves as a functional substitute if a diffused lens is acceptable instead of the clear lens specified here. Verify that the electrical parameters remain compatible when switching between lens types.
