MT240-G-A

LED Indication - Discrete Overview

The MT240-G-A is a single-color visible emitter manufactured by Marktech Optoelectronics, designed for general indication applications. This component emits green light with a peak wavelength of 572 nm and a luminous intensity of 16 mcd. It operates with a forward current of 20 mA and a typical forward voltage of 2.1 V, resulting in a power rating of 78 mW. The device features a diffused green lens with a viewing angle of 60 degrees. It is housed in a radial T-1 package suitable for through-hole mounting.

LED Indication - Discrete Feature Summary

• Emits green light at a peak wavelength of 572 nm
• Features a diffused lens for wide-angle visibility
• Designed for standard through-hole PCB mounting

LED Indication - Discrete Applications

• General purpose indicator lights
• Panel status indication
• Low-power embedded system signaling

LED Indication - Discrete Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version to confirm electrical tolerances and mechanical dimensions before integration. Ensure the supplier provides documentation confirming compliance with RoHS3 standards. Cross-reference the part number MT240-G-A with official Marktech Optoelectronics records to validate authenticity and avoid counterfeit components during procurement.

LED Indication - Discrete Selection Notes

Select this component when a green visual indicator with a 60-degree viewing angle is required. The 2.1 V forward voltage aligns with standard low-voltage logic levels. Consider the radial T-1 package for through-hole assembly processes. Verify that the 16 mcd intensity meets visibility requirements for the intended application environment.

LED Indication - Discrete Part Context

This LED belongs to the standard discrete indicator series from Marktech Optoelectronics. It serves as a fundamental optical component for electronic circuits requiring visual feedback. The radial form factor supports traditional manufacturing methods. It is distinct from surface-mount or infrared variants within the manufacturer's broader optoelectronic portfolio.

LED Indication - Discrete Replacement Considerations

The SLR-342MG3F from Rohm Semiconductor is a documented alternative with identical specifications: 572 nm wavelength, 2.1 V forward voltage, 16 mcd intensity, and T-1 radial package. Verify pin compatibility and mechanical fit before substitution.
