LED Indication - Discrete Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer part number LTL-1214A against official Lite-On documentation to ensure authenticity. Confirm that the received components match the specified electrical characteristics, including the 657 nm wavelength and 2.1 V forward voltage. Check for physical integrity of the through-hole leads and the diffused lens surface prior to assembly.

LED Indication - Discrete Selection Notes

Select this component when a standard red indicator with a 120-degree viewing angle is required. Ensure the circuit design supports a 20 mA forward current and accounts for the 2.1 V forward voltage drop. Consider the through-hole package size and operating temperature range of -55°C to +100°C for environmental compatibility.

LED Indication - Discrete Part Context

This component belongs to the Lite-On single-color LED family, specifically optimized for visible red indication. It utilizes standard semiconductor materials to achieve the 657 nm emission peak. The through-hole construction allows for robust mechanical attachment on printed circuit boards compared to surface-mount alternatives.

LED Indication - Discrete Replacement Considerations

Consult official Lite-On substitution guides or distributor cross-reference lists for verified equivalent parts. Do not assume functional interchangeability based solely on package similarity without verifying electrical parameters.
