L171L-QBC

LED Indication - Discrete Overview

The L171L-QBC is a blue surface-mount LED from American Opto Plus LED, designed for discrete indication applications. It features a clear lens with a rectangular shape and flat top, housed in an 0805 (2012 Metric) package measuring 1.40mm x 1.25mm. The component emits light at a wavelength of 470nm with a typical forward voltage of 3.3V. It provides a millicandela rating of 150mcd, ensuring visible status signaling in compact electronic designs.

LED Indication - Discrete Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm tape and reel packaging requirements. Ensure compatibility with standard reflow soldering profiles for 0805 components. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official manufacturer documentation prior to integration into final assemblies.

LED Indication - Discrete Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring a standard blue indicator in space-constrained layouts. The 0805 package offers a balance between visibility and board area efficiency. Consider the 3.3V forward voltage drop when designing drive circuits to ensure proper current limiting and power management.

LED Indication - Discrete Part Context

This part belongs to the L171L series of surface-mount LEDs from American Opto Plus LED. The series includes various colors and lens styles within the same 0805 form factor, allowing for consistent mechanical design across different product variants while changing only the optical characteristics.

LED Indication - Discrete Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 0805 blue LEDs with similar forward voltage and luminous intensity. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal characteristics before swapping. Alternative packages may require PCB layout modifications.
