The 550-0405F is a 5mm through-hole bi-color LED assembly designed for indicator and status display applications in electronic equipment. This RoHS-compliant component features a polycarbonate (PBT) housing with dual-color capability, available in red/green or yellow/green configurations, and is compatible with wave soldering, dip soldering, or hand soldering using lead-free processes at temperatures up to 260°C for 5 seconds. The LED leads are dimensioned to fit standard PCB hole patterns with specified tolerances, and the device includes a cathode identification mark for proper polarity orientation. As an electrostatic-sensitive device (ESDS), it requires standard ESD handling precautions during assembly, handling, and storage per IPC-A-610. Common applications include status indicators, alarm displays, and multi-state signaling in industrial control panels, consumer electronics, and instrumentation.
