5UYC

LED Indication - Discrete Overview

The Bivar Inc. 5UYC is a T-1 3/4 (5mm) through-hole LED indicator light featuring an ultra-yellow lens color and clear epoxy construction. It operates at a peak wavelength of approximately 590 nm to 591 nm, providing distinct yellow illumination for status indication. The component utilizes a flanged design for secure panel mounting or PCB insertion. With a typical forward voltage around 1.9V to 2.1V and high luminous intensity, it serves as a reliable discrete optical signal source in electronic assemblies requiring visible status feedback.

LED Indication - Discrete Feature Summary

• Ultra-yellow lens color for high visibility status indication
• Clear epoxy lens material with flanged base for mechanical stability
• Through-hole mounting configuration for standard PCB integration
• High luminous intensity output for effective visual signaling

LED Indication - Discrete Applications

• Electronic equipment status indicators
• Panel-mounted control interface lighting
• Power supply operational state signaling
• Industrial machinery fault or run lights

LED Indication - Discrete Procurement Notes

Verify the exact suffix variant (e.g., 5UYC-F, 5UYC-2K) against current availability, as specific sub-models may be obsolete. Confirm lead times and stock levels with authorized distributors, as inventory status varies by region. Ensure compatibility with existing panel cutouts and PCB hole patterns before finalizing procurement orders.

LED Indication - Discrete Selection Notes

Select this component when a bright, distinct yellow visual cue is required for system status monitoring. Consider the through-hole form factor for robust mechanical attachment compared to surface-mount alternatives. Evaluate the viewing angle and intensity requirements to ensure adequate visibility under ambient lighting conditions within the target application environment.

LED Indication - Discrete Part Context

This part belongs to Bivar’s extensive line of LED indication components, designed for reliable visual signaling in various electronic systems. The company specializes in LED light pipes, panel mount LEDs, and discrete indicators. The 5UYC series represents a standard through-hole option within their portfolio, offering consistent performance for general-purpose status indication tasks across consumer and industrial electronics.

LED Indication - Discrete Replacement Considerations

Check for direct substitutes like H278CYD if available, though pinout and mechanical dimensions must match. Verify electrical parameters such as forward voltage and current ratings against original circuit design. Ensure the replacement maintains the same lens color and physical footprint to fit existing enclosures and PCB layouts without modification.
