5BWC2.515F

Overview

The Bivar Inc. 5BWC2.515F is a through-hole single-color LED indicator with a blue emission at 430 nm wavelength. It features a T-1 3/4 (5 mm) package and a clear dome lens. The component operates at a forward current of 20 mA with a forward voltage of 4 V. It provides an optical intensity of 2500 mcd and has a viewing angle of 15 degrees. The maximum power rating is 150 mW, and it functions within a temperature range of -25°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• High-intensity blue light output for enhanced visibility
• Standard T-1 3/4 through-hole mounting configuration
• Clear dome lens design for wide beam distribution

Applications

• Panel mount status indicators
• Electronic equipment front panels
• Control board visual signaling

Procurement Notes

Verify the obsolete lifecycle status before procurement planning. Confirm availability through authorized distributors or surplus suppliers. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB layouts due to the through-hole package dimensions. Check RoHS compliance documentation if required by specific manufacturing standards.

Selection Notes
