WP59EYW

LED Indication - Discrete Overview

The WP59EYW is a dual-color surface-mount LED from the Kingbright Multi-Colour LED series, featuring a common cathode configuration. It emits red light at 617 nm and yellow light at 588 nm through a diffused white lens. The component utilizes a T-1 3/4 (5 mm) package with a dome-shaped lens measuring 5 mm in diameter. Electrical characteristics include a maximum forward current of 20 mA, a power rating of 75 mW, and forward voltages of 2 V for red and 2.1 V for yellow. It operates within a temperature range of -40 °C to +85 °C.

LED Indication - Discrete Feature Summary

• Dual-color emission capability providing distinct red and yellow outputs
• Common cathode architecture simplifying circuit design
• Diffused white lens ensuring wide viewing angles

LED Indication - Discrete Applications

• Status indication in electronic devices
• Bi-color signaling applications
• Panel indicators requiring compact form factors

LED Indication - Discrete Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against official Kingbright documentation to confirm exact binning and packaging specifications. Ensure compatibility with standard lead-free manufacturing processes as the component complies with RoHS standards. Cross-reference datasheet parameters for thermal management requirements during integration.

LED Indication - Discrete Selection Notes

Select this component when a single package must provide two distinct color states for status monitoring. The common cathode design reduces pin count compared to independent anode configurations. Verify that the required forward voltage levels align with the target driver circuit capabilities.

LED Indication - Discrete Part Context

This part belongs to the broader Multi-Colour LED family offered by Kingbright. It shares the T-1 3/4 package style with other dual-color variants but differs in wavelength and lens treatment. The WP59EYW specifically addresses applications needing red and yellow differentiation without occupying multiple PCB locations.

LED Indication - Discrete Replacement Considerations

Consult official Kingbright substitution guides for direct equivalents. Generic multi-color LEDs may differ in luminous intensity or spectral purity.
