PL011-CDG13

LED Indication - Discrete Overview

The PL011-CDG13 is a discrete green LED with a 572nm wavelength, manufactured by P-tec. It features a 1.8mm round dome lens with a flange and utilizes a GaP green LED chip. The component operates at a typical forward voltage of 2.1V and requires a test current of 20mA. It offers a viewing angle of 30 degrees and is designed for through-hole mounting.

LED Indication - Discrete Feature Summary

• Features a 1.8mm round dome lens with an integrated flange for secure mounting.
• Utilizes a GaP green LED chip to produce high-intensity light output.
• Designed with a color-diffused lens to optimize light distribution.
• Engineered for low current requirements to enhance energy efficiency.

LED Indication - Discrete Applications

• Test and measurement equipment indicators
• Industrial control panel status lights
• Medical device operational feedback
• Automotive instrument cluster illumination

LED Indication - Discrete Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix matches the required lens style and electrical characteristics. Confirm that the through-hole package dimensions align with the target PCB layout. Ensure the supplier provides official datasheets to validate the GaP chip composition and forward voltage specifications before finalizing the purchase order.

LED Indication - Discrete Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact 1.8mm form factor is required for space-constrained designs. The 30-degree viewing angle suits applications needing focused indication rather than wide-area illumination. Consider the 2.1V forward voltage drop when designing the driving circuit to ensure proper biasing without excessive power dissipation in the series resistor.

LED Indication - Discrete Part Context

This part belongs to the PL011 series of 1.8mm LEDs from P-tec Corporation. The series is characterized by its small footprint and high intensity, making it suitable for dense panel layouts. The CDG13 designation specifies the green color variant within this product line, distinct from other wavelengths or lens styles available in the broader catalog.

LED Indication - Discrete Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 1.8mm diameter, through-hole configuration, and green spectral output. Verify compatibility of the flange design and pin spacing. Generic replacements may differ in viewing angle or forward voltage, requiring circuit adjustments. Consult manufacturer cross-reference lists for verified equivalent part numbers.
