PL15-CDA02

LED Indication - Discrete Overview

The PL15-CDA02 is a discrete LED indicator manufactured by P-tec, designed for through-hole mounting in a radial 5mm T-1 3/4 package. It features an amber diffused lens with a domed top and provides a viewing angle of 38 degrees. The component emits light at a peak wavelength of 610nm and a dominant wavelength of 605nm. Typical forward voltage is 2.1V, with a millicandela rating of 47mcd.

LED Indication - Discrete Feature Summary

• Through-hole radial construction suitable for standard PCB assembly
• Amber diffused lens with domed top design for broad visibility
• Optimized emission spectrum centered around 605nm to 610nm

LED Indication - Discrete Applications

• Panel-mounted status indicators
• Discrete signal illumination
• Electronic equipment front panels

LED Indication - Discrete Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version from P-tec or authorized distributors to confirm electrical tolerances and binning classifications. Ensure the ordering suffix matches the required lens style and wavelength specifications. Cross-reference package dimensions against the target PCB footprint to guarantee mechanical compatibility during assembly.

LED Indication - Discrete Selection Notes

Select this component when a visible amber indication is required for through-hole applications. The 5mm T-1 3/4 form factor offers a balance between visibility and board space efficiency. Consider the 38-degree viewing angle and diffused lens properties for optimal light distribution in the intended enclosure environment.

LED Indication - Discrete Part Context

This part belongs to the P-tec PL15 series of 5mm LEDs. The series includes various colors and lens styles, such as the PL15-CDG13 and PL15-CDR24. These components are widely used in industrial and consumer electronics for visual signaling purposes.

LED Indication - Discrete Replacement Considerations

Check for direct substitutes within the same 5mm T-1 3/4 radial package family. Verify that alternative parts match the 605nm dominant wavelength and 2.1V forward voltage requirements to ensure functional equivalence.
