7010X1

Overview

The 7010X1 is a surface-mount LED indicator from Visual Communications Company, categorized under discrete LED indication components. It features a red lens color with a clear, colorless transparency and a rectangular lens style characterized by a flat top design. The component utilizes a 1206 (3216 Metric) package configuration, measuring 1.80mm in width and 1.50mm in height. It operates at a forward voltage of 1.7V and provides a light intensity rating of 6 millicandela. This device is designed for direct surface mounting on printed circuit boards.

Feature Summary

• Rectangular lens geometry with a flat top profile
• Clear lens transparency for optimal light transmission
• Surface mount technology for automated assembly

Applications

• Panel-mounted status indicators
• Control board activity signaling
• Equipment power state visualization

Procurement Notes

Verify the obsolete product status before procurement planning. Confirm that the 1206 footprint matches the target PCB layout. Ensure the 1.7V forward voltage aligns with the driving circuit capabilities. Check for available replacement alternatives due to potential supply constraints associated with discontinued items.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile red indicator is required for space-constrained designs. The 1206 package offers a balance between visibility and board real estate. Consider the 6mcd output sufficient for standard ambient lighting conditions. Evaluate the rectangular shape against circular alternatives for specific aesthetic or functional requirements.

Part Context

This part belongs to the VCC discrete LED indication series, focusing on surface-mount solutions. It complements through-hole options by providing compact form factors suitable for modern electronics manufacturing. The manufacturer specializes in visual signaling components for industrial and commercial applications.

Replacement Considerations

As the product status is listed as obsolete, identify equivalent 1206 red LEDs from other manufacturers. Verify pin compatibility and luminous intensity ratings during substitution. Consult distributor databases for current stock availability of alternative brands.
