PL15-CDR12

LED Indication - Discrete Overview

The PL15-CDR12 is a red diffused LED from P-tec Corporation, housed in a 5mm T1 3/4 radial package. It features a dominant wavelength of 626nm and a typical forward voltage of 2.1V. The component has a viewing angle of 38 degrees and is RoHS compliant. Dimensions are specified in millimeters with a standard tolerance of ±0.25mm.

LED Indication - Discrete Feature Summary

• Red diffused lens design for broad visibility
• Radial lead configuration for through-hole mounting
• RoHS compliant construction

LED Indication - Discrete Applications

• Panel indicator lights
• Status indication on electronic devices
• Control board signaling

LED Indication - Discrete Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix or variant code to ensure compatibility with required forward voltage and wavelength specifications. Confirm that the radial lead spacing matches the target PCB footprint. Check RoHS compliance documentation if environmental regulations apply to the end product assembly process.

LED Indication - Discrete Selection Notes

Select this component when a 5mm through-hole red LED with a wide viewing angle is required. Ensure the circuit design accounts for the 2.1V forward voltage drop. Consider the diffused lens characteristic for applications requiring soft light distribution rather than a focused beam.

LED Indication - Discrete Part Context

This part belongs to P-tec's line of discrete LED indicators. It shares the 5mm T1 3/4 form factor with other models in the series, such as the PL15-CDR21. The PL15-CDR12 specifically denotes the red diffused variant within this standardized housing category.

LED Indication - Discrete Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with PL15-CDR21 for similar physical dimensions. Verify electrical parameters against generic 5mm red LEDs if sourcing alternatives.
