LN342GPH

LED Indication - Discrete Overview

The Panasonic LN342GPH is a single-color, green light-emitting diode (LED) with a diffused lens configuration. It utilizes a radial mounting style and features a square-type package measuring 5.0 mm by 2.0 mm. The component operates within a temperature range of -25 °C to 85 °C. Key electrical parameters include a maximum forward current of 30 mA, a maximum reverse voltage of 4 V, and a power dissipation rating of 90 mW at 25 °C ambient temperature. The nominal luminous intensity is specified at 0.6 mcd.

LED Indication - Discrete Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against official Panasonic documentation to confirm exact binning and optical characteristics. Ensure compliance with relevant environmental directives such as RoHS if required for the target market. Confirm lead-free status and packaging specifications directly from the manufacturer's latest datasheet before procurement.

LED Indication - Discrete Selection Notes

Select this component when a standard 5mm green indicator with high visibility is required. Consider the 30 mA maximum forward current limit during circuit design. Evaluate the thermal management requirements based on the 90 mW power dissipation rating. Ensure the operating environment stays within the specified -25 °C to 85 °C temperature range for reliable performance.

LED Indication - Discrete Part Context

This LED belongs to Panasonic's 5.0 mm x 2.0 mm square type series, which includes variants in red, amber, and orange. The series is characterized by its compact form factor and robust construction. Panasonic employs proprietary electrode formation techniques to enhance reliability and heat resistance compared to conventional designs.

LED Indication - Discrete Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference part numbers such as LN242RP or LN442YP for alternative colors within the same physical series. Verify pinout compatibility and electrical ratings before substituting. Consult official Panasonic substitution guides for confirmed equivalents.
