LNJ208R8ARA

LED Indication - Discrete Overview

The Panasonic LNJ208R8ARA is a red surface-mount LED indicator in a 0603 (1608 metric) package. It operates with a typical forward voltage of 1.72V at a test current of 10mA, emitting light at a peak wavelength of 660nm. The component features a rectangular lens with a flat top and delivers an intensity of 6.7mcd. Its physical dimensions are 1.60mm in length, 0.80mm in width, and a maximum height of 0.90mm. The device is classified as standard configuration and is currently marked as obsolete.

LED Indication - Discrete Feature Summary

• Red color emission for visual status indication
• Surface mount construction for automated assembly
• Rectangular lens design with a flat top profile

LED Indication - Discrete Applications

• Wearable technology components

• General-purpose circuit signaling

LED Indication - Discrete Procurement Notes

This component is officially listed as obsolete by the manufacturer. Verification of availability should focus on distributor surplus or secondary market sources rather than direct new production orders. Confirm end-of-life status dates and check for valid replacement part numbers from the same product family before initiating procurement processes.

LED Indication - Discrete Selection Notes

Engineers selecting this part must account for its obsolete status when designing new hardware. The 0603 footprint requires specific PCB land pattern considerations. Designers should evaluate alternative LEDs within the Panasonic LNJ series that offer similar electrical characteristics and mechanical dimensions to ensure supply chain continuity for future manufacturing runs.

LED Indication - Discrete Part Context

The LNJ208R8ARA belongs to the Panasonic LNJ208 series of surface-mount LEDs. This series is designed for compact electronic applications requiring small form factors. The component utilizes standard semiconductor packaging technologies common to the industry, focusing on reliability and consistent optical performance for discrete indicator roles.

LED Indication - Discrete Replacement Considerations

The Panasonic LNJ214R8ARA is a confirmed substitute within the same product family. It shares the 0603 package and red color but differs in peak wavelength and height specifications. Verify mechanical fit and optical requirements before substitution.
