L196L-NWC

LED Indication - Discrete Overview

The L196L-NWC is a white surface-mount LED from American Opto Plus LED, housed in a 0603 (1608 Metric) package measuring 1.6 x 0.8 x 0.4 mm. It operates at a forward voltage of 3.5V and emits diffused white light. The component is RoHS compliant and designed for discrete indication applications.

LED Indication - Discrete Feature Summary

• Diffused white light emission
• Compact 0603 SMD form factor

LED Indication - Discrete Applications

• Discrete LED indication
• Electronic status signaling

LED Indication - Discrete Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix variant required for your design, as the base model may correspond to different forward voltages or packaging options such as tape-and-reel configurations. Confirm RoHS compliance status directly with the manufacturer or authorized distributor before finalizing procurement orders.

LED Indication - Discrete Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact white indicator is needed for space-constrained designs. Ensure the circuit provides adequate current limiting for the specified forward voltage. Consider the diffused lens type if uniform light distribution is required over sharp beam patterns.

LED Indication - Discrete Part Context

This part belongs to the L196L series of surface-mount LEDs by American Opto Plus LED. The series includes various colors and package sizes, with the L196L-NWC specifically denoting the white light variant in the standard 0603 footprint.

LED Indication - Discrete Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 0603 white SMD LEDs from manufacturers like Kingbright or Everlight, provided they match the 3.5V forward voltage and physical dimensions. Verify pinout compatibility and luminous intensity requirements before swapping.
