4318F1

LED Indication - Discrete Overview

The VCC 4318F1 is a Super Brite T-1 (3mm) red LED lamp designed for through-hole mounting. It features a clear domed lens and operates at a forward voltage of 1.8V with a current rating of 20mA, producing an intensity of 65mcd. The component has a viewing angle of 45 degrees and is classified as obsolete.

LED Indication - Discrete Feature Summary

• Super Brite T-1 form factor
• Clear domed lens design
• Radial through-hole configuration

LED Indication - Discrete Applications

• General indicator lighting
• Panel status indication
• Circuit board signaling

LED Indication - Discrete Procurement Notes

This component is officially obsolete and no longer manufactured by Visual Communications Company. Sourcing new units from authorized distributors is not possible. Verification of availability should focus on surplus markets or qualified replacement components that match the electrical and mechanical specifications.

LED Indication - Discrete Selection Notes

Engineers must account for the discontinued status when designing new systems. Direct replacement requires identifying equivalent T-1 LEDs with compatible 1.8V forward voltage and 20mA current ratings. Mechanical compatibility with existing PCB footprints and panel cutouts must be verified before substitution.

LED Indication - Discrete Part Context

Part of the Super Brite T-1 series, this component represents a standard discrete LED indicator historically used in industrial and consumer electronics. Its 3mm diameter and radial leads were common for general-purpose visual signaling applications prior to widespread surface-mount adoption.

LED Indication - Discrete Replacement Considerations

No direct manufacturer substitute is listed. Equivalent T-1 red LEDs from other vendors may serve as functional replacements if electrical parameters align.
