L171L-LIC-TR

LED Indication - Discrete Overview

The L171L-LIC-TR is a surface-mount red LED from American Opto Plus LED, designed for discrete indication applications. It features a water-clear lens with a rectangular flat top style and dimensions of 1.40mm x 1.25mm. The component emits light at a wavelength of 640nm with a luminous intensity of 80mcd. Electrical characteristics include a typical forward voltage of 1.95V and a test current of 20mA. It offers a wide viewing angle of 130 degrees and is supplied in tape and reel packaging.

LED Indication - Discrete Feature Summary

• Emits red light at 640nm wavelength
• Features a water-clear rectangular lens with flat top design
• Provides high visibility with a 130-degree viewing angle

LED Indication - Discrete Applications

• Panel indicator lights
• Status indication on electronic devices
• Control board signaling

LED Indication - Discrete Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix TR to confirm tape and reel packaging configuration. Ensure compatibility with standard 0805 footprint reflow soldering profiles. Cross-reference datasheet electrical limits against circuit design requirements to prevent overdriving the component during operation.

LED Indication - Discrete Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile red indicator is required for space-constrained designs. Consider the 1.95V forward voltage drop for power budget calculations. The 130-degree viewing angle makes it suitable for applications requiring broad visual accessibility without precise alignment.

LED Indication - Discrete Part Context

This part belongs to the L171L series of surface-mount LEDs from American Opto Plus LED. The series utilizes standard 0805 (2012 metric) package dimensions, allowing for automated placement. The L171L-LIC-TR variant specifically denotes the red color option within this form factor family.

LED Indication - Discrete Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 0805 SMD package, red 640nm emission, and similar forward voltage characteristics. Verify that alternative components support the same 20mA test current and 80mcd minimum intensity to maintain consistent visual performance.
