L513ET-E

LED Indication - Discrete Overview

The L513ET-E is a 5mm amber LED lamp manufactured by American Opto Plus LED Corp. It features a transparent lens and operates with a typical forward voltage of 2.1V at a test current of 30mA. The component emits light at a peak wavelength of 635nm with a viewing angle of 30 degrees. Designed for through-hole mounting, this indicator provides reliable visual signaling in electronic circuits.

LED Indication - Discrete Feature Summary

• Transparent amber lens design for clear visibility
• Through-hole mounting configuration for standard PCB integration
• Optimized electrical characteristics for low-power applications

LED Indication - Discrete Applications

• Panel status indicators
• Power supply visualization
• Electronic device signaling

LED Indication - Discrete Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to ensure the correct lens transparency and color variant matches the application requirements. Confirm that the through-hole package dimensions align with the target printed circuit board layout. Check for RoHS compliance documentation if environmental regulations apply to the final product assembly.

LED Indication - Discrete Selection Notes

Select this component when a distinct amber indication is required for system status monitoring. The 30-degree viewing angle suits applications where direct line-of-sight is available. Ensure the driving circuit can accommodate the 2.1V forward voltage drop to maintain stable operation without excessive power dissipation.

LED Indication - Discrete Part Context

This part belongs to the L513 series of 5mm LED lamps from American Opto Plus LED Corp. The series includes various colors and lens types, such as red and orange diffused options. The L513ET-E specifically utilizes an amber transparent lens to provide high-contrast visual feedback in industrial and consumer electronics.

LED Indication - Discrete Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 5mm amber LEDs with similar forward voltage and current ratings. Verify pin compatibility and mechanical footprint before swapping. Components like the L513GD-16 may offer alternative color options within the same manufacturer's lineup but require electrical validation.
