5HC-8-F

LED Indication - Discrete Overview

The Bivar Inc. 5HC-8-F is a high-efficiency red discrete LED indicator designed for through-hole mounting. It features a radial configuration with a T-1 3/4 (5mm) package and a water-clear lens geometry. The component emits light at a peak wavelength of 635nm, providing bright visual indication. Key electrical parameters include a forward voltage of 2V and a test current of 20mA. The device has a maximum operating temperature of +85°C and a minimum of -25°C. It is classified as a single-color LED with a standard configuration.

LED Indication - Discrete Feature Summary

• High-efficiency red emission for attention-grabbing visual indication
• Water-clear lens design to maximize light output
• Radial lead configuration suitable for standard PCB layouts

LED Indication - Discrete Applications

• Panel mount status indicators
• Power supply activity lights
• Electronic equipment front panels

LED Indication - Discrete Procurement Notes

This component is officially listed as End-of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer. Verification of final stock availability or last-time-buy status is required before integration into new designs. Sourcing should be restricted to authorized distributors to ensure authenticity and proper handling history.

LED Indication - Discrete Selection Notes

Select this part only if legacy compatibility with existing 5mm radial footprints is mandatory. Due to its EOL status, alternative components with similar electrical characteristics and mechanical dimensions must be evaluated for long-term supply chain stability and design refresh requirements.

LED Indication - Discrete Part Context

The 5HC-8-F belongs to Bivar's line of low-power discrete LEDs. It utilizes a standard T-1 3/4 housing common in industrial and consumer electronics. The product family focuses on reliable through-hole technology for general-purpose indication tasks where high brightness is not the primary constraint.
