BF3H45G-BNH-020mA

Overview

The BF3H45G-BNH-020mA is a 3mm through-hole blue LED manufactured by Solidlite. It features a radial leaded package suitable for standard PCB mounting. The device emits light at a peak wavelength of 465nm to 470nm, classified as blue. It operates with a forward voltage of approximately 3.5V and is rated for a continuous forward current of 20mA. The component is RoHS compliant and lead-free, ensuring adherence to environmental standards for electronic assemblies.

Feature Summary

• Radial through-hole construction for reliable PCB integration
• Blue emission spectrum centered around 465-470nm
• RoHS compliant and lead-free manufacturing process

Applications

• Panel indicator lights
• Status indication in consumer electronics
• General purpose visual signaling

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version from Solidlite or authorized distributors to confirm exact electrical tolerances and binning classifications. Ensure the ordering suffix matches the required wavelength and intensity specifications. Confirm RoHS compliance status directly with the supplier documentation prior to procurement to meet regulatory requirements.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a standard 3mm blue indicator is required for through-hole assembly. Consider the 3.5V forward voltage drop for circuit design calculations. Verify that the radial lead spacing matches the target PCB footprint. Ensure the operating current does not exceed the 20mA rating to maintain longevity and optical performance.

Part Context

This part belongs to Solidlite's discrete LED product line, specifically designed for general indication purposes. The BF3 series typically offers consistent color purity and brightness for visual feedback applications. It serves as a standard replacement for legacy blue LEDs in industrial and commercial equipment designs requiring through-hole mounting.

Replacement Considerations

Check for direct substitutes within the BF3H45G series from Solidlite. Verify pinout compatibility and mechanical dimensions before substituting with other manufacturers' 3mm blue LEDs. Ensure equivalent forward voltage and current ratings are maintained to avoid circuit modification.
