5GT-F

Overview

The Bivar Inc. 5GT-F is a single-color LED indicator designed for through-hole mounting in a T-1 3/4 (5 mm) package. It emits green light with a peak wavelength of 565 nm and features a clear, non-tinted lens. The component has a dome-shaped lens geometry and provides an optical intensity of 20 mcd. Electrical characteristics include a forward voltage of 2.2 V at a forward current of 20 mA, with a power rating of 80 mW. It is supplied in bulk packaging.

Feature Summary

• Through-hole mounting configuration for standard PCB insertion
• Green emission with clear dome-shaped lens for visibility
• Standard 5 mm T-1 3/4 axial leaded package

Applications

• Panel mount status indicators
• PCB board activity signaling
• General electronic equipment status indication

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version to confirm electrical tolerances and mechanical dimensions before integration. Check RoHS compliance status as manufacturing processes may evolve. Confirm availability through authorized distributors, as stock levels fluctuate. Ensure the selected supplier provides original manufacturer documentation to guarantee authenticity and performance consistency.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a standard 5 mm green through-hole LED is required for panel or board mounting. Consider the 20 mcd intensity and 565 nm wavelength for visibility requirements. Evaluate the 2.2 V forward voltage drop against the circuit design constraints. Compare against other colors in the series if different visual signaling is needed.

Part Context

This part belongs to Bivar's discrete LED indication family, specifically the 5 mm T-1 3/4 through-hole series. It serves as a fundamental component for visual feedback in electronic assemblies. The product line offers various colors and lens types to suit different industrial and consumer applications requiring reliable status indication.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include 5AD-F (Amber), 5BT-F (Blue), and 5RT-F (Red). For generic replacements, verify that the alternative LED matches the 5 mm diameter, through-hole lead spacing, and similar forward voltage characteristics to ensure compatibility with existing drive circuits.
