PL85-WDGY1301

LED Indication - Discrete Overview

The PL85-WDGY1301 is a 5mm bi-color LED component manufactured by P-tec Corporation. It features a round lens with a domed top style and a white lens color, housed in a T-1 3/4 package configuration. The device emits green and yellow light simultaneously or independently depending on circuit design. Typical forward voltage is 2.1V for both the green and yellow segments. The standard test current for operation is 20mA for each color channel. The maximum height of the component is 8.70mm. It utilizes a through-hole mounting configuration suitable for panel indicators.

LED Indication - Discrete Feature Summary

• Bi-color functionality providing distinct green and yellow illumination within a single 5mm package
• Round lens with domed top style designed for clear visual indication
• White lens color to enhance light diffusion and visibility
• Through-hole construction for secure mechanical mounting

LED Indication - Discrete Applications

• Status indication in industrial control panels
• Signal display in automotive instrumentation clusters
• Visual alerts in test and measurement equipment
• Power state indicators in consumer electronics

LED Indication - Discrete Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific order matches the PL85-WDGY1301 part number to ensure correct green/yellow bi-color output. Confirm that the required forward voltage and test current align with the system's drive circuit capabilities. Check that the through-hole pin spacing and 5mm diameter are compatible with the PCB layout. Ensure the white diffused lens meets the optical requirements of the enclosure design. Validate that the 8.70mm maximum height fits within the available vertical space constraints.

LED Indication - Discrete Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-color status indicator is required in a compact 5mm form factor. Consider the 2.1V typical forward voltage drop for power supply calculations. Choose this model if a domed lens style is preferred for aesthetic or optical reasons. Ensure the application supports the 20mA test current requirement for optimal brightness. Verify compatibility with through-hole assembly processes if automated placement is used.

LED Indication - Discrete Part Context

This component belongs to the P-tec PL85 series of 5mm bi-color LEDs. Similar models in the series include the PL85-WDRG2115 (Red/Green) and PL85-WDRG1213 (Red/Green). These parts share common physical dimensions and lens styles but differ in emitted colors. The series is designed for general-purpose indication tasks across various electronic industries.

LED Indication - Discrete Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 5mm T-1 3/4 package, bi-color green/yellow emission, and through-hole configuration. Verify equivalent electrical characteristics such as forward voltage and test current. Ensure the replacement maintains the same lens style and color to preserve visual consistency.
