L196L-YC-TR

LED Indication - Discrete Overview

The L196L-YC-TR is a yellow surface-mount LED manufactured by American Opto Plus LED. It features a 0603 (1608 Metric) package with dimensions of 1.6 x 0.8 x 0.4 mm. The device emits light at a wavelength of 588nm with a typical forward voltage of 2.15V. It has a rectangular lens with a flat top, measuring 1.00mm x 0.80mm. The component operates at a test current of 20mA and provides a wide viewing angle of 150 degrees.

LED Indication - Discrete Feature Summary

• Compact 0603 SMD form factor for space-constrained designs
• Wide 150-degree viewing angle for broad visibility
• RoHS compliant and lead-free construction

LED Indication - Discrete Applications

• Panel indicator lights
• Status indication in consumer electronics
• Instrumentation front panels

LED Indication - Discrete Procurement Notes

Verify RoHS compliance status and lead-free certification directly with the manufacturer or authorized distributors before procurement. Confirm that the specific ordering suffix matches the required tape-and-reel packaging configuration. Ensure storage conditions adhere to moisture sensitivity level requirements to maintain solderability and optical performance upon assembly.

LED Indication - Discrete Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile yellow indicator is required for high-density PCB layouts. The 0603 package size suits applications where board real estate is limited. Consider the 2.15V forward voltage drop for power budget calculations and ensure the 150-degree viewing angle aligns with the intended user interface visibility requirements.

LED Indication - Discrete Part Context

This part belongs to the L196L series of single-color surface-mount LEDs from American Opto Plus LED. The series offers various color options in a standardized 0603 footprint, allowing for consistent mechanical design across different product variants while providing distinct visual signaling through different emission wavelengths.

LED Indication - Discrete Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 0603 yellow LEDs with similar forward voltage and viewing angle specifications. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal characteristics when cross-referencing with alternative manufacturers' components to ensure seamless integration without redesigning the PCB footprint.
