PL43-CDG13

LED Indication - Discrete Overview

The PL43-CDG13 is a discrete green LED from P-tec with a 572nm wavelength and 2.1V typical forward voltage. It features a rectangular lens measuring 5.00mm x 2.00mm with a flat top style. The component has a maximum height of 7.00mm, a viewing angle of 90°, and operates at 20mA current. It delivers a millicandela rating of 6mcd and utilizes radial packaging for standard through-hole mounting applications.

LED Indication - Discrete Feature Summary

• Rectangular lens design with flat top geometry
• Green light emission at 572nm wavelength
• Radial lead configuration for board mounting

LED Indication - Discrete Applications

• Motor control cabinet indicator lights
• General equipment status indication
• Panel mount visual signaling

LED Indication - Discrete Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version from P-tec to confirm mechanical tolerances and thermal characteristics. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprints due to the radial lead spacing. Cross-reference the 2.1V forward voltage requirement with your circuit design to prevent overcurrent conditions during operation.

LED Indication - Discrete Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile green indicator with a rectangular form factor is required. The 90-degree viewing angle suits applications where visibility is needed from a direct frontal perspective. Consider the 6mcd brightness level for environments with moderate ambient lighting conditions.

LED Indication - Discrete Part Context

This part belongs to the PL series of rectangular LEDs manufactured by P-tec Corporation. Similar models include the PL15-CDG13 and PL44-CDG13, which share comparable electrical characteristics but may differ in physical dimensions or lens styling within the same product family.

LED Indication - Discrete Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes are not explicitly confirmed in public documentation. Verify pinout compatibility and forward voltage tolerance before replacing with generic equivalents. The PL15-CDG13 may serve as a functional alternative if dimensional constraints allow.
