LED Indication - Discrete Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm tape-and-reel packaging requirements versus cut tape options. Ensure the procurement documentation explicitly states RoHS compliance and lead-free status as per manufacturer standards. Cross-reference the datasheet revision date to guarantee alignment with current manufacturing specifications and material declarations before finalizing purchase orders.

LED Indication - Discrete Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile yellow indicator is required for space-constrained designs. The 1206 footprint allows for automated placement on standard PCBs. Consider the 140-degree viewing angle if the indicator needs to be visible from multiple oblique angles. Verify that the 20mA forward current aligns with the target circuit's drive capabilities and power budget constraints.

LED Indication - Discrete Part Context

This part belongs to the American Opto Plus LED discrete indication series, which includes various colors and package sizes. The L152L-YC specifically addresses the need for yellow SMD LEDs in consumer and industrial electronics. It complements other variants in the catalog that offer different wavelengths or form factors for diverse application requirements.

LED Indication - Discrete Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other 1206 yellow LEDs from different manufacturers, provided they match the 2.15V forward voltage and 1206 footprint. Verify luminous intensity and viewing angle compatibility to ensure equivalent performance. Check for pinout similarities, although single-color LEDs typically have standardized polarity.
