LED Indication - Discrete Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'CT' against the manufacturer's official documentation to confirm it denotes the correct tape and reel packaging configuration. Ensure the part number matches the exact electrical specifications required for the target application, particularly the forward voltage and luminous intensity ratings.

LED Indication - Discrete Selection Notes

Select this component when a standard red SMD LED is required for visual signaling in compact designs. The 1206 package offers a balance between visibility and board space efficiency. Confirm that the operating current limits align with the system's power budget and thermal management capabilities.

LED Indication - Discrete Part Context

This part belongs to Venkel's CTL series of chip type LEDs. The series includes various colors and package sizes, designed for high reliability in surface-mount applications. The CTL1206FRD1T-CT specifically addresses the need for red indication in modern electronic assemblies.

LED Indication - Discrete Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 1206 footprint, 630nm wavelength, and 1.5V forward voltage. Verify mechanical dimensions and spectral characteristics to ensure functional equivalence in existing designs.
