LED Indication - Discrete Procurement Notes

This component has reached end-of-life status and is no longer manufactured by ams OSRAM. Procurement should focus on verifying remaining stock availability through authorized distributors or certified secondary market suppliers. Due to the obsolescence, lead times may be extended, and long-term supply continuity cannot be guaranteed. Designers must evaluate alternative replacement components immediately to ensure production stability.

LED Indication - Discrete Selection Notes

Select this part only if legacy compatibility with existing 0603 footprints and specific amber luminous intensity requirements is mandatory. Verify that the 2.35V forward voltage aligns with the system's drive circuit capabilities. Consider the limited operational lifespan and potential supply chain disruptions associated with discontinued automotive-grade LEDs when finalizing the bill of materials.
