MV8041

LED Indication - Discrete Overview

The MV8041 is a single-color red light-emitting diode manufactured by onsemi, designed for visual indication purposes. It utilizes a T-1 3/4 (5 mm) through-hole package with a dome-shaped lens and water-clear transparency to optimize light emission. The component operates with a forward current of 30 mA and features a typical forward voltage of 2.1 V. Key electrical characteristics include a viewing angle of 30 degrees and a lead-free construction compliant with environmental standards.

LED Indication - Discrete Feature Summary

• Discrete radial design suitable for standard through-hole mounting processes
• Water-clear dome lens provides optimized light transmission and visibility
• Lead-free construction adheres to environmental compliance requirements

LED Indication - Discrete Applications

• Visual status indication in electronic equipment
• Panel indicator lights for control interfaces
• Power supply status signaling

LED Indication - Discrete Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix and packaging configuration when sourcing this component, as availability may vary between bulk and tape-and-reel formats. Confirm that the received parts match the T-1 3/4 package dimensions and lead-free specifications required for your assembly process. Ensure compatibility with your existing through-hole manufacturing equipment and soldering profiles.

LED Indication - Discrete Selection Notes

Select the MV8041 when a compact, high-visibility red indicator is needed for through-hole PCB designs. Its 30-degree viewing angle and clear lens make it effective for direct-line-of-sight applications. Consider the 30 mA forward current requirement when designing drive circuits to ensure proper brightness without exceeding thermal limits. This part is ideal for general-purpose status signaling where space constraints allow for a 5 mm diameter footprint.

LED Indication - Discrete Part Context

This component belongs to onsemi's discrete LED portfolio, specifically within the single-color visible light category. It serves as a fundamental passive optoelectronic element for human-machine interface feedback. Unlike complex integrated circuits, this device functions solely as a light source driven by external circuitry, providing reliable visual alerts in consumer electronics and industrial control systems.

LED Indication - Discrete Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. When selecting alternatives, prioritize LEDs with identical T-1 3/4 package dimensions, red color output, and compatible forward voltage characteristics to maintain mechanical and electrical compatibility.
