L196L-MPGC-L-TR

LED Indication - Discrete Overview

The L196L-MPGC-L-TR is a surface-mount green LED from American Opto Plus LED, housed in a 0603 (1608 Metric) package. It emits light at a wavelength of 525nm with a forward voltage of 2.9V. The component features a rectangular lens with a flat top and clear transparency, measuring 1.00mm x 0.80mm. It provides a millicandela rating of 500mcd and is supplied in tape and reel packaging for automated assembly.

LED Indication - Discrete Feature Summary

• Ultra-thin 0603 surface-mount form factor
• Pure green emission at 525nm wavelength
• Rectangular lens design with flat top geometry

LED Indication - Discrete Applications

• General electronic status indication
• Panel mount indicator lights
• Consumer device signaling

LED Indication - Discrete Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'L' against the manufacturer's current datasheet to confirm lens style and optical characteristics. Ensure the ordering part number matches the required tape and reel quantity specifications for your production line. Cross-reference the RoHS compliance status with the latest environmental declarations provided by American Opto Plus LED.

LED Indication - Discrete Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact green indicator is required for space-constrained designs. The 0603 footprint allows for high-density PCB layouts. Consider the 2.9V forward voltage drop when designing the current-limiting resistor network. Verify that the 500mcd brightness level meets the visibility requirements for the intended application environment.

LED Indication - Discrete Part Context

This model belongs to the L196L series of ultra-thin SMD LEDs manufactured by American Opto Plus LED. The series offers various color options within the 0603 package size. The 'MPGC' designation typically indicates a pure green variant with specific optical properties distinct from standard green LEDs in the same family.

LED Indication - Discrete Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 0603 green LEDs with similar electrical parameters. Check compatibility with existing footprints and reflow profiles. Verify that alternative components meet the same mechanical height and lens dimension constraints.
