LED Indication - Discrete Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version for the PL16-CDG13_14 designation to ensure compatibility with required thermal and electrical specifications. Confirm that the radial lead spacing matches the target PCB layout. Check for any epoxy meniscus extensions on leads as noted in manufacturer documentation. Ensure storage conditions align with moisture sensitivity levels defined in the official handling guidelines.

LED Indication - Discrete Selection Notes

Select this component when a standard 5mm through-hole green indicator is required. The diffused lens provides wide viewing angles suitable for general visibility. The 20mA current rating supports direct driving from common logic sources with appropriate series resistance. Consider the 8.70mm height constraint for enclosure design.
