LTST-C171KDWT

LED Indication - Discrete Overview

The LTST-C171KDWT is a single-color red surface-mount LED from Lite-On Inc., designed for compact electronic assemblies. It features a rectangular lens with a flat top, emitting light at a peak wavelength of 625 nm. The component operates with a typical forward voltage of 2 V and a test current of 20 mA. It utilizes a water-clear lens to maximize optical transmission within a 0805 (2012 metric) package measuring 2 mm in length, 1.25 mm in width, and 0.8 mm in height. The device supports automated PC board assembly and is rated for operation between -55°C and +85°C.

LED Indication - Discrete Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'KDWT' against official Lite-On documentation to confirm the exact binning and packaging configuration. Ensure that the procurement channel provides valid RoHS compliance certificates as required by regulatory standards. Cross-reference the datasheet version to confirm the electrical characteristics match the intended circuit design requirements before finalizing orders.

LED Indication - Discrete Selection Notes

Select this component when a standard red indicator is required in an 0805 footprint. Consider the 2 V forward voltage drop for power budget calculations. Evaluate the 130-degree viewing angle if wide visibility is necessary. Confirm humidity sensitivity handling procedures are integrated into the assembly process to prevent moisture-induced damage during soldering.

LED Indication - Discrete Part Context

This part belongs to the LTST-C171 series of miniature SMD LEDs from Lite-On. The series offers various color options including yellow, green, and red variants such as LTST-C171YKT and LTST-C171KGKT. These components share identical physical dimensions and mounting styles, differing primarily in semiconductor materials to achieve specific emission wavelengths and luminous intensities.
