PL16-CDR12

LED Indication - Discrete Overview

The PL16-CDR12 is a 5mm T1¾ through-hole red LED manufactured by P-tec Corporation. It features a diffused lens with a domed top and emits light at a peak wavelength of 635nm and a dominant wavelength of 626nm. The component is RoHS compliant and lead-free. Physical dimensions include a maximum height of 8.70mm. An epoxy meniscus may extend approximately 1mm down the leads.

LED Indication - Discrete Feature Summary

• Diffused red lens design for uniform light distribution
• T1¾ (5mm) package form factor
• RoHS compliant construction

LED Indication - Discrete Applications

• Panel indicator lights
• Status indication devices
• General purpose optical signaling

LED Indication - Discrete Procurement Notes

Verify RoHS compliance status and lead configuration against the official P-tec datasheet before integration. Confirm that the specific ordering suffix matches the required lens style and electrical characteristics. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprints and thermal management requirements during assembly planning.

LED Indication - Discrete Selection Notes

Select this component when a standard 5mm through-hole red indicator is required. The diffused lens provides broad visibility compared to clear variants. Verify voltage and current ratings against circuit design specifications to ensure proper driver selection and longevity.

LED Indication - Discrete Part Context

This part belongs to the PL16 series of 5mm LEDs from P-tec Corporation. The series includes various lens colors and styles, such as clear and green options. The PL16-CDR12 specifically denotes the red diffused variant within this popular lens style family.

LED Indication - Discrete Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with PL16-CTR12 for clear lens alternatives or PL16-CDG13 for green variants. Ensure pinout and forward voltage parameters match the target application circuit before substitution.
