LTL-4208

LED Indication - Discrete Overview

The Lite-On LTL-4208 is a through-hole, single-color red LED lamp belonging to the T-1 (3mm) package series. It features a diffused lens with a circular shape and a viewing angle of 60 degrees. The component operates with a forward voltage of 2.6V at a test current of 20mA, producing a main wavelength of 632nm. It delivers a luminous intensity of 50 mcd and has a maximum power dissipation of 100mW. The device supports a continuous forward current of 120mA and functions within an operating temperature range of -55°C to +100°C.

LED Indication - Discrete Feature Summary

• Features a diffused red lens for wide-angle visibility
• Designed for standard through-hole mounting applications
• Provides consistent optical output at rated forward current

LED Indication - Discrete Applications

• Panel indicator lights
• Status indication in electronic equipment
• General purpose visual signaling

LED Indication - Discrete Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix variant against the official Lite-On datasheet to confirm exact optical and electrical characteristics. Ensure the selected part matches the required forward voltage and luminous intensity specifications for the target application. Confirm RoHS compliance status if environmental regulations apply to the end product.

LED Indication - Discrete Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring a standard 3mm red indicator with moderate brightness. Consider the 60-degree viewing angle and diffused lens properties for visibility requirements. Evaluate thermal management needs based on the 100mW power dissipation limit and ensure the driving circuit supports the specified 2.6V forward voltage drop.

LED Indication - Discrete Part Context

The LTL-4208 is part of Lite-On's extensive LTL series of discrete LEDs. This series includes various colors and intensities optimized for general lighting and indication purposes. The T-1 form factor is widely used in legacy and modern electronics for reliable visual feedback.

LED Indication - Discrete Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 3mm red diffused LEDs from manufacturers such as Everlight or Kingbright, provided they match the 2.6V forward voltage, 50 mcd intensity, and 60-degree viewing angle specifications.
