5UAC-1.5K

Overview

The Bivar Inc. 5UAC-1.5K is a through-hole amber LED with a 608nm peak wavelength and water-clear lens. It features a 30-degree viewing angle and 1500mcd intensity. The component utilizes a 5mm radial package design, suitable for standard mounting holes of Ø.032 inches plus tolerances. It operates at a forward voltage of 1.9V and complies with RoHS standards.

Feature Summary

• Amber light emission with water-clear lens
• Radial through-hole mounting configuration
• RoHS compliant construction

Applications

• Panel indicator lighting
• Equipment status signaling
• Control board visual feedback

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific part number suffix to ensure correct optical characteristics. The base model 5UAC-1.5K differs from flanged variants like 5UAC-1.5K-F. Confirm lead-free status and RoHS compliance documentation matches project requirements before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring visible amber indication in through-hole assemblies. Ensure mechanical clearance accommodates the 5mm radial lead spacing. Consider the 30-degree viewing angle for visibility requirements. Verify that the 1.9V forward voltage aligns with the driving circuit capabilities.

Part Context

This part belongs to Bivar’s discrete LED indication series. It provides a standard solution for visual status monitoring in electronic devices. The product line includes various colors and lens types to suit different industrial and consumer electronics needs.

Replacement Considerations

The 5UAC-1.5K-F serves as a direct substitute with a flanged lens option. Both share identical electrical parameters and mounting dimensions. Choose based on mechanical retention requirements rather than performance differences.
