OVM4RTX

LED Indication - Discrete Overview

The OVM4RTX is a high-reliability visible LED lamp manufactured by TT Electronics/Optek Technology. It emits red light with a wavelength of 624 nm and a luminous intensity of 3300 mcd at a forward current of 20 mA. The component utilizes a TO-46 package with a dome-shaped clear lens and a viewing angle of 18 degrees. Designed for through-hole mounting, it operates within a temperature range of -55°C to +100°C.

LED Indication - Discrete Feature Summary

• High reliability construction suitable for demanding environments
• Dome-shaped clear lens provides focused illumination
• Through-hole mounting for secure mechanical attachment

LED Indication - Discrete Applications

• Industrial control panel indicators
• Medical device status signaling
• Aerospace instrumentation displays

LED Indication - Discrete Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version as the OVM4RTX is listed as obsolete in some distributor records. Confirm availability of surplus stock or last-time buy options from authorized channels. Ensure the TO-46 package dimensions match the target PCB footprint before finalizing procurement plans.

LED Indication - Discrete Selection Notes

Select this component when a robust, through-hole red LED with high luminous intensity is required. The TO-46 metal can package offers superior durability compared to plastic packages. Consider the 18-degree viewing angle for applications requiring directional visibility rather than wide-angle diffusion.

LED Indication - Discrete Part Context

This part belongs to the standard LEDs category from TT Electronics/Optek Technology. It is designed for general-purpose indication where reliability is critical. The TO-46 package is a legacy form factor often used in military and aerospace applications due to its hermetic sealing capabilities.

LED Indication - Discrete Replacement Considerations

Check for direct pin-compatible replacements in the same TO-46 package family. Verify that any substitute maintains the 624 nm wavelength and 3300 mcd intensity specifications to ensure visual consistency.
