R50RB2-F-0160

LED Indication - Discrete Overview

The Bivar R50RB2-F-0160 is a dual-color LED component featuring red and blue light emission. It utilizes a Piranha package with a square lens measuring 7.6 mm by 7.6 mm. The device operates at forward currents of 50 mA, with corresponding forward voltages of 2.6 V for the red element and 3.8 V for the blue element. Power ratings are specified as 150 mW for red and 220 mW for blue. The unit offers a wide viewing angle of 160 degrees and emits light at wavelengths of 635 nm (red) and 470 nm (blue).

LED Indication - Discrete Feature Summary

• Dual-color configuration providing simultaneous red and blue illumination within a single through-hole component.
• Piranha package design with a water-clear square lens to maximize light output and visibility.
• Wide 160-degree viewing angle ensures broad signal visibility across various installation orientations.

LED Indication - Discrete Applications

• Status indication in electronic equipment requiring multi-state signaling.
• Panel mount indicators where space constraints favor compact Piranha form factors.
• Visual alerts in industrial control systems utilizing standard through-hole mounting techniques.

LED Indication - Discrete Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm the exact wavelength and intensity specifications required for your application. Ensure that the circuit design accommodates the distinct forward voltage requirements of both the red and blue elements. Confirm RoHS compliance status if environmental regulations apply to your manufacturing process. Cross-reference the mechanical dimensions against your PCB footprint to guarantee proper fitment during assembly.

LED Indication - Discrete Selection Notes

Select this component when multi-color feedback is necessary without increasing board space usage. Consider the 160-degree viewing angle for applications requiring visibility from oblique angles. Evaluate the power dissipation limits relative to your thermal management strategy. Compare the Piranha package dimensions against alternative LED types to ensure compatibility with existing mechanical enclosures and mounting hardware.

LED Indication - Discrete Part Context

This part belongs to Bivar's bi-color LED lineup, designed for through-hole mounting. It shares the Piranha package style with other high-intensity indicators but distinguishes itself through its dual-emission capability. The component integrates two distinct semiconductor junctions into a single housing, offering a compact solution for complex status reporting compared to using separate single-color LEDs.

LED Indication - Discrete FAQ

What is the difference in forward voltage between the red and blue elements?

The red element has a forward voltage of 2.6 V, while the blue element requires 3.8 V at the rated forward current.

Does the lens color affect the emitted light spectrum?

No, the lens is colorless and water clear, allowing the intrinsic 635 nm red and 470 nm blue wavelengths to pass through without filtration.
