5UTC

Overview

The Bivar Inc. 5UTC is a discrete single-color LED indicator designed for through-hole mounting in a T-1 3/4 (3mm) package. It emits turquoise light with a peak wavelength of 468 nm and a viewing angle of 25 degrees. The component operates at a forward current of 20 mA with a forward voltage of 3.5 V, delivering an optical power output of 980 milliwatts. It functions within a temperature range of -25°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Provides high-intensity turquoise illumination suitable for status indication
• Utilizes a standard T-1 3/4 radial leaded package for easy PCB integration
• Features a dome lens shape to direct light emission effectively

Applications

• Electronic equipment status indicators
• Control panel signal lights
• Instrumentation front panels

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version before procurement, as Bivar reserves the right to modify designs. Confirm that the 3.5V forward voltage aligns with your circuit design requirements. Ensure the through-hole footprint matches the T-1 3/4 package dimensions. Check for any recent product change notifications that might affect mechanical or electrical specifications.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a bright turquoise visual indicator is required for through-hole applications. Consider the 25-degree viewing angle for directional visibility needs. Evaluate the 980 mW optical output against ambient lighting conditions. Ensure the operating temperature range meets the environmental constraints of the final assembly.

Part Context

The 5UTC belongs to Bivar's line of standard discrete LEDs, specifically utilizing the T-1 3/4 form factor. This series is commonly used for general-purpose indication where color differentiation is necessary. It complements other colors like red, green, and amber within the same package family.
