MV8140

LED Indication - Discrete Overview

The MV8140 is a single-color red LED component manufactured by Everlight Electronics. It utilizes a T-1 3/4 (5 mm) through-hole package with a colorless dome-shaped lens. The device emits light at a peak wavelength of 660 nm and provides an optical intensity of 220 mcd. Electrical characteristics include a forward voltage of 1.7 V and a forward current rating of 20 mA, with a power dissipation limit of 100 mW.

LED Indication - Discrete Feature Summary

• Emits monochromatic red light via an infrared-emitting diode structure
• Features a clear dome lens for standardized light distribution
• Designed for reliable through-hole mounting on printed circuit boards

LED Indication - Discrete Applications

• Indicator lamps for electronic equipment panels
• Visual signaling in control systems
• Status display components in consumer electronics

LED Indication - Discrete Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized channels as the part is listed as obsolete. Confirm datasheet revisions to ensure electrical parameters match design requirements. Check RoHS compliance status for regulatory adherence. Validate package dimensions against PCB footprint specifications before procurement.

LED Indication - Discrete Selection Notes

Evaluate thermal management capabilities given the 100 mW power rating. Ensure circuit design accommodates the 1.7 V forward voltage drop. Consider the 220 mcd intensity for visibility requirements in the target application environment. Verify compatibility with standard through-hole assembly processes.

LED Indication - Discrete Part Context

This component belongs to Everlight's standard single-color LED portfolio. It represents a traditional through-hole technology solution distinct from surface-mount alternatives. The product line focuses on general-purpose indicator applications requiring reliable visual feedback.

LED Indication - Discrete Replacement Considerations

No public confirmed substitute part numbers are available. Obsolete status requires manual evaluation of functional equivalents based on pinout and electrical specifications.
