• General electronic equipment signaling

LED Indication - Discrete Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version to confirm electrical tolerances and thermal characteristics. Ensure that the supplier provides official Panasonic documentation to validate the part number authenticity and compliance with RoHS standards before finalizing procurement orders.

LED Indication - Discrete Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact, low-intensity red indicator is required for through-hole assembly. The 700 nm wavelength offers standard visibility, while the 2.8 V forward voltage suits common logic-level driving circuits. Consider the 0.4 mcd output for applications requiring subtle visual feedback rather than high-brightness signaling.

LED Indication - Discrete Part Context

This LED belongs to Panasonic's discrete indication series, characterized by standardized rectangular packages. The LN252RPX variant specifically targets cost-effective, space-constrained designs where moderate luminous intensity and reliable through-hole connectivity are prioritized over surface-mount flexibility.

LED Indication - Discrete Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with Panasonic LN242RPX for similar specifications. Verify pin compatibility and forward voltage alignment when substituting with other manufacturers' red LEDs to ensure circuit performance remains consistent.
