L5C3NWC

LED Indication - Discrete Overview

The L5C3NWC is a white discrete LED indicator manufactured by American Opto Plus LED. It utilizes a radial mounting configuration and emits light at a peak wavelength of 460nm with a dominant wavelength of 470nm. The component operates with a typical forward voltage of 3.5V at a test current of 20mA. It features a clear lens style and is housed in a standard radial package suitable for through-hole applications.

LED Indication - Discrete Feature Summary

• Emits white light via blue-dominant spectral output
• Designed for radial through-hole board mounting
• Clear lens construction for optimal light transmission

LED Indication - Discrete Applications

• Panel status indication
• Power supply signaling
• General electronic equipment indicators

LED Indication - Discrete Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version from American Opto Plus LED to confirm exact binning and tolerance specifications. Ensure that the radial lead form factor matches the target PCB footprint requirements. Cross-reference the 3.5V forward voltage drop against the system power budget to ensure adequate drive capability within the circuit design constraints.

LED Indication - Discrete Selection Notes

Select this component when a radial form factor is required for white light indication. The 3.5V forward voltage suggests compatibility with standard logic-level driving circuits. Consider the 470nm dominant wavelength for applications requiring a cool white appearance rather than warm tones.
