Broadcom Green/Red Bicolour LED, T-1 3/4 (5mm), 10mA, 65°

The Broadcom Green/Red Bicolour LED is a 5mm through-hole indicator that combines red and green light sources in a single round package, with a forward current of 10 mA for both colours.

Overview

This bicolour LED is housed in the standard T-1 3/4 (5 mm) round package and designed for through-hole mounting. Two LED chips, one emitting high-efficiency red light and the other green, are mounted on a central common cathode lead. This configuration supports maximum on-axis viewing, with a wide, diffused viewing angle of 65 degrees. The two colours can be controlled independently or pulsed to produce a range of visual signals.

Key Features

• Bicolour design with green and high-efficiency red LEDs in a single 5 mm package
• Central common cathode lead for simplified circuit design and control
• 65-degree diffused lens for a broad visibility range
• Forward current of 10 mA for both colours
• Three leads, available in straight or spread lead configurations

Electrical and Environmental Characteristics

The red LED provides a minimum luminous intensity of 2.1 mcd with a dominant wavelength of 626 nm, while the green LED offers 4.2 mcd at 570 nm. Forward voltage is 1.9 V for red and 2.2 V for green, measured at 20 mA. The operating temperature range is -20°C to 100°C, supporting stable performance across a range of environments.

Dimensions and Weight

The LED has a width of 3.3, a depth of 1.5 and a height of 4.3, with a weight of 0.426 g.

Applications

Suited to status indicators, panel lighting, and multi-state signalling, this LED is used in portable devices, industrial controls, and consumer electronics. Its compact dimensions and standard footprint make it straightforward to integrate into existing designs, supporting visual feedback in a variety of products.
