5PGC

Overview

The Bivar Inc. 5PGC is a through-hole LED indicator designed for standard PCB mounting. It emits pure green light with a peak wavelength of 555nm and a typical forward voltage of 2.2V. The component features a water-clear lens with a 35-degree viewing angle and provides an intensity of 10 millicandelas at a test current of 20mA. It utilizes a T-1 3/4 (5mm) radial package configuration.

Feature Summary

• Through-hole radial mounting configuration
• Pure green emission with clear domed lens
• Flanged lead design for secure panel or board positioning

Applications

• Panel-mounted status indication
• Chassis-mounted power indicators
• Equipment front-panel signaling

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix designation to confirm the presence of flanged leads, as this feature distinguishes the 5PGC variant from other radial packages in the series. Confirm that the required viewing angle and intensity meet the application's visibility requirements before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-intensity green indicator is required for applications where the LED must be secured mechanically via flanged leads rather than relying solely on solder joints. Ensure the circuit design accommodates the 2.2V forward voltage drop and limits current to the specified 20mA test level.

Part Context

This part belongs to Bivar’s line of discrete LED indicators, which are often used alongside their mechanical PCB positioning and enclosure securing products. The 5PGC serves as a visual communication element within systems requiring robust, mechanically fixed indicators.

Replacement Considerations

The 5PGC-F is a confirmed substitute part number representing the same physical and electrical characteristics, specifically confirming the flanged lead configuration for equivalent replacement scenarios.
