BL-BKC1V4V-AT

Overview

The BL-BKC1V4V-AT is a 5mm through-hole LED manufactured by American Bright Optoelectronics Corporation. It emits yellow light with a dominant wavelength of 589nm or 594nm. The component features a radial leaded package and operates at a forward current of 20mA with a forward voltage of 2V.

Feature Summary

• Radial through-hole mounting style for standard PCB insertion
• Yellow emission color with high brightness output
• Low power consumption design suitable for indicator applications

Applications

• General purpose electronic equipment status indication
• Panel mount instrument indicators
• Consumer appliance control panels

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version to confirm exact wavelength tolerance, as sources indicate variations between 589nm and 594nm. Ensure the ordering suffix matches the required lens appearance and binning specifications for your assembly requirements.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a standard 5mm through-hole form factor is required for yellow indication. Consider the 2V forward voltage drop for circuit design compatibility. Verify mechanical dimensions against existing board layouts before finalizing the part number.

Part Context

This discrete LED belongs to the American Bright Optoelectronics Corporation general indication series. It utilizes GaAsP/GaP chip materials to produce amber-yellow light. The product line focuses on cost-effective solutions for visual signaling in commercial electronics.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other 5mm yellow through-hole LEDs from manufacturers like Kingbright or Everlight. Ensure equivalent forward voltage and luminous intensity ratings are met to maintain circuit performance.
