2mm Round Type Bi-Color LED Lamps (3 Leads) – Compact Dual-Color Lighting for Modern Electronics

The 2mm round bi-color LED lamp with 3 leads is a compact, versatile, and energy-efficient lighting component designed for modern electronic systems that require multi-status indication in a small footprint. With dual-color output stored in a single round lens, this LED supports flexible visual communication, space-efficient circuit design, and low-power operation—all essential features for today’s consumer electronics, industrial controls, automotive dashboards, and smart devices.

The 3-lead structure, available in either common anode or common cathode, allows engineers to easily manage two distinct colors without increasing PCB size. Offered with multiple lens types—diffused, transparent, and water clear—and various viewing angles, the 2mm bi-color LED delivers excellent adaptability for countless lighting scenarios.

Manufactured with environmentally friendly materials and RoHS compliance, these LEDs ensure performance, safety, and long-term reliability.


Key Features of the 2mm Round Type Bi-Color LED (3 Leads)

1. Dual-Color Output in a Compact 2mm Package

The LED integrates two chips into a single miniature round lens, enabling:

  • Two independent colors

  • Mixed or symbolic signals (Red/Green, Red/Yellow, etc.)

  • Multi-status indication without adding more LEDs

This greatly reduces PCB footprint and simplifies mechanical design.


2. 3-Lead Structure: Easy Circuit Integration

The 3-pin configuration includes:

  • Two leads dedicated to each color

  • One common lead, either anode or cathode

This structure allows flexible wiring for engineers and supports a wide range of circuit designs.


3. Flexible Viewing Angle Options

Available viewing angles include:

  • Narrow for concentrated, laser-like brightness

  • Medium for indicator panels

  • Wide for general illumination

This allows product designers to match the LED’s light dispersion to the application.


4. Multiple Lens Types

You may choose from:

  • Diffused lens – Soft, uniform color output

  • Transparent lens – Bright, crisp illumination

  • Water-clear lens – Maximum brightness and sharp clarity

Engineers can optimize light behavior for transparency, diffusion, or maximum focus.


5. IC Compatible / Low-Current Operation

The LED is optimized for electronics requiring:

  • Low current drive

  • Direct compatibility with most IC outputs

  • Energy-efficient signaling

This reduces power consumption and heat generation, increasing system reliability.


6. Common Anode or Common Cathode Design

Available configurations:

  • Common Anode (CA) – Popular for microcontroller applications

  • Common Cathode (CC) – Standard for many analog circuits

Choosing the right option simplifies system wiring and improves performance.


7. Environmentally Friendly – RoHS Compliant

The LED is manufactured under strict environmental standards:

  • Free of hazardous materials

  • Safe for consumer and industrial use

  • Compliant with global manufacturing regulations
