WP3VGYW

LED Indication - Discrete Overview

The WP3VGYW is a bi-color LED component manufactured by Kingbright, designed for through-hole mounting. It features a T-1 (3 mm) dome-shaped lens with diffused transparency and a colorless appearance. The device emits green light at a peak wavelength of 568 nm and red light at 625 nm. Electrical characteristics include a forward current rating of 20 mA, with a forward voltage of 2 V for the green element and 2.2 V for the red element. Luminous intensity is specified as 40 mcd for green and 35 mcd for red. Power ratings are 62.5 mW for green and 75 mW for red. The unit operates within a temperature range of -40 C to +85 C.

LED Indication - Discrete Feature Summary

• Dual-chip construction enabling independent red and green illumination within a single package
• Common cathode configuration simplifies circuit design and control logic
• Diffused dome lens provides wide viewing angles and uniform light distribution

LED Indication - Discrete Applications

• Status indication in electronic equipment requiring dual-state signaling
• Panel indicators for power or operational modes
• Visual alerts in consumer appliances and instrumentation

LED Indication - Discrete Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official datasheet to confirm pin configuration and binning requirements. Ensure compatibility with standard T-1 3mm PCB footprints during integration. Cross-reference RoHS compliance documentation for regulatory adherence. Confirm lead times and packaging quantities directly with authorized distributors prior to procurement planning.

LED Indication - Discrete Selection Notes

Select this component when space-constrained designs require two distinct indicator colors in a single footprint. The common cathode arrangement reduces trace routing complexity compared to separate discrete LEDs. Evaluate thermal management needs given the power dissipation limits. Consider the diffused lens properties for applications requiring broad visibility rather than focused beams.

LED Indication - Discrete Part Context

This part belongs to Kingbright's T-1 bi-color LED series, utilizing standard 3mm axial leads. It serves as a compact alternative to using two separate single-color LEDs, offering integrated functionality for dual-status applications. The design supports high-volume manufacturing processes typical for through-hole assembly lines.
