L170B-LBC-BQ-TR

LED Indication - Discrete Overview

The L170B-LBC-BQ-TR is a blue surface-mount LED from American Opto Plus LED, housed in an 0805 (2012 Metric) package measuring 2.0 x 1.25 x 0.8 mm. It emits light at a dominant wavelength of 470nm with a viewing angle of 140°. The component operates with a forward current of 20mA and delivers a luminous intensity of 100mcd at a forward voltage of 3V. It is lead-free and RoHS compliant.

LED Indication - Discrete Feature Summary

• Blue emission color for discrete indication
• Wide 140-degree viewing angle
• RoHS compliant construction

LED Indication - Discrete Applications

• General electronic device status indication
• Panel indicator lights
• Instrumentation front panels

LED Indication - Discrete Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'TR' corresponds to tape-and-reel packaging requirements if automated placement is intended. Confirm that the 0805 footprint dimensions align with the target PCB design. Ensure the 20mA forward current rating matches the driving circuit capabilities to prevent thermal stress or premature degradation during operation.

LED Indication - Discrete Selection Notes

Select this component when a standard blue indicator is required in a compact 0805 form factor. The wide 140-degree viewing angle provides broad visibility compared to narrower beam variants. Consider the 3V forward voltage drop when designing series resistor networks or constant current drivers for the application circuit.

LED Indication - Discrete Part Context

This part belongs to the American Opto Plus LED SMD LED series, which includes various colors and package sizes. The manufacturer produces components for displays and lamps, established since 1973. This specific model serves as a basic discrete indicator within their broader portfolio of surface-mount optoelectronic devices.

LED Indication - Discrete Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference other 0805 blue LEDs from different manufacturers if supply constraints exist. Verify that substitute parts maintain identical pinout configurations, forward voltage characteristics, and mechanical height specifications to ensure compatibility with existing assembly processes.
