White Diffused Lens
3-Lead Bi-Color LED
Ideal for Status Indication and Display
Bivar 3mm T1 Package 3-Lead Bi-Color is ideal for those applications where multiple signals need to
be displayed at the same location such as standby-on indication for server or computer peripherals.
When needed, the 3rd color signal could be created by powering up both chips together for on-off-
standy applications that require three distinct signals. Bivar offers white diffused LED lens for uniform
light output. This 3-Lead Bi-color LED package comes in a common cathode Lead Frame configura-
tion.
