PL43-CDR12

LED Indication - Discrete Overview

The PL43-CDR12 is a rectangular visible LED indicator manufactured by P-tec Corporation. It features a 2x5mm lens design and utilizes a GaAsP high-efficiency red chip to produce light at a dominant wavelength of 626nm. The component typically operates with a forward voltage of 2.1V. This surface-mount or through-hole device is engineered for discrete indication applications requiring compact form factors.

LED Indication - Discrete Feature Summary

• Rectangular 2x5mm lens geometry
• High-efficiency GaAsP red chip technology
• Diffused color lens for wide viewing angle

LED Indication - Discrete Applications

• Discrete status indication in electronic equipment
• Panel mount signal indicators
• Compact control board visual feedback systems

LED Indication - Discrete Procurement Notes

Verify the specific mounting style (surface mount vs. through-hole) and lead configuration against the official P-tec datasheet, as variations exist within the PL series. Confirm that the 2.1V forward voltage rating aligns with your circuit design requirements before finalizing procurement orders.

LED Indication - Discrete Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile rectangular footprint is required for space-constrained designs. Ensure the 626nm red wavelength meets visibility standards for the target application environment. Compare physical dimensions against PCB silkscreen patterns to guarantee accurate placement during assembly processes.

LED Indication - Discrete Part Context

This part belongs to the P-tec PL series of visible LEDs, which includes various cylindrical and rectangular packages. The PL43 variant specifically distinguishes itself through its rectangular 2x5mm lens profile, differing from the circular T1 or T3.75 styles found in other series members like the PL07 or PL70.

LED Indication - Discrete Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with PL43-CDR12_14 for potential minor revision updates. Verify mechanical compatibility with any direct rectangular LED substitutes from other manufacturers, ensuring identical pin spacing and lens dimensions are maintained.
