PL70-CDG13

LED Indication - Discrete Overview

The PL70-CDG13 is a cylindrical green LED manufactured by P-tec Corporation, designed for discrete indication applications. It features a radial lead configuration with a lens style characterized as round with a flat top surface. The component operates at a typical forward voltage of 2.1V and is tested at a current of 20mA. It emits light at a wavelength of 572nm and provides a wide viewing angle of 96 degrees. The physical dimensions include a 3mm T-1 lens size, suitable for standard mounting requirements in electronic assemblies requiring visual status feedback.

LED Indication - Discrete Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to ensure the correct lens style and electrical characteristics match the design requirements. Confirm that the radial lead format aligns with the printed circuit board layout. Cross-reference the datasheet specifications for forward voltage and test current to validate compatibility with the driving circuitry before finalizing procurement decisions.

LED Indication - Discrete Selection Notes

Select this component when a green cylindrical LED with a wide viewing angle is required for clear visual indication. The 2.1V forward voltage suggests compatibility with low-voltage logic levels, while the 20mA test current defines the standard operating condition. Ensure the 3mm T-1 lens size fits within the mechanical constraints of the enclosure or panel design.

LED Indication - Discrete Part Context

This part belongs to the PL series of cylindrical LEDs produced by P-tec Corporation. Similar variants in this family include the PL70-CDR12 and PL73-CDG13, which share the same basic cylindrical form factor but may differ in color, wavelength, or specific electrical parameters. The series is generally intended for general-purpose indication tasks.
