LED Indication - Discrete Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version from Lite-On Technology Corporation to confirm exact binning classifications and optical consistency. Ensure that the ordering suffix matches the required packaging format, such as tape and reel quantities. Cross-reference electrical parameters against the latest official specification sheet to guarantee compliance with target circuit designs before finalizing procurement orders.

LED Indication - Discrete Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile red indicator is required for space-constrained printed circuit boards. The 1206 footprint offers a balance between visibility and board density. Consider the 2V forward voltage drop when designing series resistor networks or direct drive circuits to ensure proper current limiting and optimal brightness performance under varying supply conditions.

LED Indication - Discrete Part Context

This part belongs to the LTST-C150 series of single-color chip LEDs produced by Lite-On. The series utilizes standard surface-mount technology compatible with reflow soldering processes. The C150 designation typically indicates the physical dimensions and lens style, while the suffix denotes specific color and packaging variations within the product line.
