5YC5.523

Overview

The Bivar Inc. 5YC5.523 is a 5mm T-1 3/4 through-hole yellow LED indicator with a colorless, clear lens featuring a round domed top. It operates at a typical forward voltage of 2.2V and a test current of 20mA, providing a 23-degree viewing angle. This component is designed for discrete indication applications in status monitoring and control panels.

Feature Summary

• Yellow light emission with a clear, colorless lens
• Radial through-hole mounting configuration
• Compact T-1 3/4 form factor

Applications

• Status indicators
• Control panels
• Discrete indication systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the obsolete product status before procurement planning. Confirm availability of alternative part numbers such as the 5YC5.523F variant if the primary model is discontinued. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB layouts and through-hole assembly processes during replacement sourcing.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring a standard 5mm yellow indicator with a 2.2V forward voltage drop. The 23-degree viewing angle suits direct-line-of-sight visibility needs. Consider the radial lead format for manual or wave soldering integration into control hardware designs.

Part Context

This LED belongs to Bivar's discrete optoelectronics line, focusing on visual signaling components. The 5mm T-1 3/4 package is a standard industry size for panel-mounted indicators. The product series emphasizes reliable visual feedback for electronic equipment status monitoring.

Replacement Considerations

The 5YC5.523F is a documented substitute variant within the same family.
