LED Indication - Discrete Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer designation as Fairchild Semiconductor when sourcing this specific legacy component. Confirm the package style matches the T-1 3/4 radial mount requirement. Ensure the environmental compliance status aligns with project specifications regarding RoHS certification. Cross-reference the datasheet version to confirm electrical characteristics match the design requirements.

LED Indication - Discrete Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring a standard T-1 3/4 form factor with red illumination. Consider the 0.035 A maximum forward current limit when designing drive circuits. Evaluate the thermal operating range of -55 °C to +100 °C against the intended environment. The diffused lens type provides a specific visual output profile compared to clear or solid lenses.

LED Indication - Discrete Part Context

This LED belongs to the standard discrete optoelectronics category, specifically within the T-1 3/4 through-hole series. It serves as a basic visual indicator component in electronic assemblies. The product line focuses on reliable, low-cost signaling solutions for industrial and consumer hardware applications.

LED Indication - Discrete Replacement Considerations

Check for direct equivalents from other manufacturers offering identical T-1 3/4 dimensions and red spectral output. Verify that substitute components meet the same 0.035 A current and 3 V voltage limits. Ensure mechanical compatibility with existing PCB mounting holes and panel cutouts.
