Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity by cross-referencing the manufacturer part number with official datasheets. Confirm that the specific suffix matches the required electrical and optical parameters. Check for product change notifications regarding material or process updates. Ensure compliance with RoHS standards if applicable to the assembly requirements. Validate packaging type against inventory handling capabilities.

Selection Notes

Select this component when high brightness and wide viewing angles are required for outdoor visibility. The 30-degree beam angle suits applications needing broad illumination coverage. The 527 nm wavelength offers distinct green visibility. Consider the through-hole format for robust mechanical attachment. Evaluate the 120 mW power rating against thermal management constraints in the final enclosure design.
