2-Lead Bi-Color LED
White Diffused Lens
Available in Flange (F) and Shouldered (Blank) Lead Frame
styles
Ideal for Status Indication and Display
Bivar 3mm T1 Package 2-Lead Bi-Color LED is ideal for those applications where dual signals need to
be displayed at the same location such as standby-on indication for server or computer peripherals.
Bivar offers white diffused LED lens for uniform light output and the 2-lead package simplifies the cir-
cuitry design where a reverse voltage is available. The Flanged LED is ideal for Panel Mount Clip &
Ring assemblies and the Shouldered Lead frame LED has a built in strain relief feature which is ideal
for Right Angle Holder assemblies that require lead bends. A long lead version is also available with a
“-LL” suffix added to the part numbers.
