W59EGW/CA

LED Indication - Discrete Overview

The Kingbright W59EGW/CA is a T-1 3/4 (5mm) bi-color indicator lamp featuring red and green LEDs within a single package. It utilizes a common anode configuration with three leads for radial through-hole mounting. The device emits light at peak wavelengths of 625 nm (red) and 568 nm (green). Key electrical parameters include a maximum forward current of 20 mA, a forward voltage of 1.9 V for the green element and 2.2 V for the red element. The lens is diffused colorless plastic, providing a viewing angle of 50 degrees. It operates within a temperature range of -40 °C to +85 °C.

LED Indication - Discrete Feature Summary

• Bi-color output combining red and green emission in a standard 5mm form factor
• Common anode pin configuration simplifies circuit design
• Diffused lens provides wide viewing angle for visibility
• Compatible with automatic insertion machines

LED Indication - Discrete Applications

• Panel status indicators
• Power supply signaling
• Electronic equipment front panels
• Appliance control interfaces

LED Indication - Discrete Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix CA against the manufacturer datasheet to confirm the lens type and lead finish. Ensure the common anode configuration matches the target circuit design. Check RoHS compliance status if required by local regulations. Confirm availability as distribution stocks vary.

LED Indication - Discrete Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-state visual indicator is required in a limited space. The 5mm diameter allows for standard PCB drilling. Consider the 50-degree viewing angle for panel placement. Verify that the 20 mA forward current rating aligns with the driving source capabilities.

LED Indication - Discrete Part Context

This part belongs to Kingbright's T-1 3/4 LED series, designed for general-purpose indication. It serves as a compact alternative to discrete dual-LED assemblies. The series offers various color combinations and lens styles to meet diverse industrial and consumer electronics requirements.

LED Indication - Discrete Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include WP59EGW or L-59EGC from Kingbright. Cross-brand equivalents require matching the 5mm diameter, common anode configuration, and similar wavelength specifications.
