LED Indication - Discrete Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to ensure correct binning and optical characteristics. Confirm that the supplier provides documentation confirming lead-free compliance and RoHS status. Check availability of the 8mm tape packaging format required for automated assembly lines. Ensure storage conditions meet manufacturer recommendations to maintain solderability and optical performance prior to use.

LED Indication - Discrete Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile SMD LED with a rectangular footprint is required. Consider the 337.5mcd brightness level for visibility needs. Verify that the 3.35V forward voltage aligns with the system's drive circuitry. Ensure the 1.40mm x 1.25mm package dimensions fit within the designated PCB land pattern and spatial constraints.

LED Indication - Discrete Part Context

This part belongs to Everlight's 0805 package chip LED series, characterized by a height of 1.0mm. It shares the same physical form factor as other variants in the 17-21/GHC family but differs in color and intensity specifications. The model designation indicates specific optical and electrical parameters unique to this green or similar spectrum variant within the product line.

LED Indication - Discrete Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 0805 package LEDs from Everlight with identical mechanical dimensions and pinout configurations. Cross-reference part numbers such as 17-21/GHC-XS1T2M/3T for similar form factors, verifying that electrical parameters like forward voltage and luminous intensity match the application requirements before substitution.
