3mm Blue/Amber Bi-Color LED - Common Cathode, Diffused (T-1)

DIFFUSED Bicolor Blue (3,000 mcd) & Amber (3,000 mcd) LED (Cathode): 75 Degree

This 3mm (T-1) bi-color LED offers a sophisticated Blue/Amber color palette. The milky-white diffused lens provides a wide 75 degree viewing angle, ensuring uniform color consistency and eliminating "spotting" common in clear-lens LEDs. This is the ideal solution for modern designs where clear distinction between "System Active" and "System Alert" is required. Colors: InGaN Blue (465 nm) and InGaAlP Amber (590nm). Intensity: Blue 3.0 cd (20mA)and Amber 3.0cd (20mA). Vf (Blue) 3.0V and Vf (Amber) 1.8V. Viewing angles: 75 Degree. Common Cathode

LC LED-N300TBY2D:  3mm Bicolor Blue &Amber Diffused Lamp

LC LED T1 3mm Blue and Yellow Diffused LED Lamp

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

(1) RoHS and REACH Compliant

(4) Moisture & UV Resistance Epoxy Len

(2) 3mm 3-PIN Common Cathode Configuration

(5) Sun Light Viewable LED Lamp

(3) Excellent color mixing characteristics

(6) Rugged design suitable for both indoor & outdoor use

DESIGN BENEFITS

    Common Cathode (-) Architecture: In this model, Pin 2 (the longest lead) is the Common Cathode (-). The common cathode architecture simplifies PCB layout for sourcing-current drivers and N-channel MOSFET high-side switches

    High Visual Contrast: The Blue/Amber combination provides immediate, intuitive feedback that is easily distinguishable even in low-light environments

    Superior Intensity: Despite the diffusion, this LED maintains a 3,000 mcd output

    Optimized Off-Axis Visibility: The 75 degree viewing angle ensures that the light source is viewable from extreme side angles.
A critical design requirement for precision instrumentations and displays

    High-Density PCB Layout: The 3mm (T-1) footprint allows for 40% more components per square inch than 5mm LEDs allowing for high-contrast signaling

PRODUCT APPLICATION

    Professional & IT Networking Gear: Network Switch/Router Ports, Server Blade Indicators (LED that turns Blue so a technician can find the specific server in a rack,
and Amber if a hard drive has failed), External Hard Drives (Blue for power/data transfer; Amber for "Disk Full" or "Read Error")

    Marine Electronics: GPS and Fishfinder units

    High End Consumer Products: Signal indicators for dashboard displays and instrumentations

    Industrial Control & Automation:  Hand held testers, security control devices, medical instruments
